I really liked this hostel. The wi-fi worked, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the place was clean and well run. The hostel is a former Victorian courthouse, and the rooms are done up in a cheeky, understated prison motif. I liked the giant oak-panelled courtroom converted into a TV room. Free breakfast. Good proximity to King's Cross Station.... More

I stayed here on Saturday, as a last minute trip to London. The hostel is really easy to find from London King's Cross Station, and walking alone at 10 o'clock at night I got there in about 6 mins (haha) Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly woman, who told me I'd booked my room for the wrong night,...

We were leading a school group of 8 boys and girls.Location 5 minutes from the train from Scotland. Hostel is so interesting for pupils as an old court house, rooms basic , beds squeezed in but we only slept there after long days out in London. Pupils really liked the buzz of many nationalities, the breakfast room (included) and the... More

My husband and I spent 7 nights at Clink78 when we first moved to London. We booked in last minute as there was nowhere else in London available. It is everything you want and also expect in a hostel. Big TV area and big seperate computer room, big kitchen/cooking space and a bar with cheap drinks. It was also one... More

I'll admit I'm not a fan of hostels, prefering peace, calm and privacy to fun and excitiment while I'm abroad. However, Clink was the best of both worlds, offering a fun bar and pool competitions, as well as strict rules and comfortable private rooms. The showers were clean and the water power strong, the roms small but well appointed and... More

This hostel is what a good hostel should be. Clean, close to attractions and with friendly staff. It also has its own bar, internet room, shop, etc. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends. Only negative is that rooms need little bit more space... More
