Everything was great, except for the fact that the window in shower room was constantly open, so it was pretty cold, which is not something you want when you're showering in winter.

This was an amazing stay! We all though the breakfast was really really nice and that the showers were really good too. We'll come back soon, definitely!

For my first hostel experience, it was amazing. I met such lovely people.. it was like having a little family. Really clean, hot water, great breakfast and not too noisey. Would recommend to anyone and go back myself. Also is smaller and you got to know people better and run into them all the time.. I liked that!

This hostel is in a good location for Kings Cross train station, but is on a main road so was quite noisy. My dorm was probably one of the worst I've stayed in (& I've stayed in a LOT). 10 beds were packed in a small room. There were no lockers or space for bags, so even though the dorm was only half full or people there was stuff everywhere. It felt quite claustrophobic. Beds were creaky and uncomfortable. Staff were efficient, but not so friendly. Not sure I would stay here again.

Great welcome, even at 11pm. Nice to have someone to say bye to when I left early at 5am too. I read that the beds were too short but found them absolutely fine. - Plenty of space considering the good cheap rate. Facilities clean and everything worked fine. I would recommend the hostel.

Very easy to reach from King's Cross. That was the best part. Second best part is that there were only 4 people in a 10-bed room. Very clean showers and toilets. Helpful staff, very nice reading and internet area around reception. It could be better if wireless internet was free and the rooms were warmer.

I have now stayed at both Clink hostel at different times and this one is far inferior from the other. I was in a 10 person dorm the size of a shoe box. I have never stayed in a room so crowded, which explains the custom built bunk beds are so small you physically don't fit in them. The bathroom facilities are appalling. ot only are they far from clean but they make you feel like you're in a prison. The common room however is great and the kitchen isn't bad either but i will not be coming back.

i thought it was an excellent service. very cheap (but not nasty), the place WAS clean, the breakfast was great for the price. we wanted a cheap place to get our heads down, with breakfast included, and close enough to walk to euston or st.pancrias stations, and it was just that. highly recommended for backpackers. but remember that you share a room with other backpackers, so the usual rule about not being foolish with your valuables applies.

Most things okay. I,ve stopped here many times( even before it was renamed)due to its location.The shower facilities are not particularly good in comparison to some other hostels in london( not very big and not many).

Great location, nice staff, good and clean facilities... The only real downside was very small rooms and short beds! And I'm only 173cm and I still didnt fit....

Nce and helpful staff. Could have been cleaner. But alot of the building facilities were under construction and made it difficult to sleep past 730 or 8 am.

the beds could be longer .... may be you make a special room with beds for people, who are bigger than 180 cm.

Clink 261 was nice, and very close to Kings Cross station, which made it perfect to catch the bus or tube to anywhere in London. The room I stayed in was nice, expect for the fact that it was right one the road, which meant I could hear the street below and loud music from the bars across the street. The girls bathroom is under construction on the 1st floor so you have to go up to the 2nd, where there are only two stalls. It was a chill place to stay, and the breakfast was surprisingly nice.
