The staff is very nice! The rooms were well cleaned. But the walls are very thin so you can hear everything outside the room. We had the misfortune that a big group of children spent the night there during their schooltrip. And the breakfast isn't that great but okay for a hostel.

Alright. Very similar to Clink 78. Beds were okay to sleep on and people were friendly most of the time. I guess that is all you can expect in a place like this.

It seems to be a good hostel, but maybe a bit badly managed. My room was with something broken in the door, so every time we needed to open or close it, it would made a loud sound. It's a pain in the ass for who is sleeping. One of the toilets of the guys was completely dirt at night, but at midday of the other day it was clean again. Wi-fi was broken so I had to go to the other hostel (a few blocks far for this one) to use the wi-fi. Apart of that, staff completely nice and helpful.

New Small pod like showers with lack of space for cloths. I appreciated a free upgrade to the four bed dorm, which were small rooms ideal for sleeping, but sparse and basic. A clean hostel with basement lounge and breakfast room, good cereal selection. There is a charge for wifi. Enough plugs for charging in common areas.

Thank you for the review. We charge £3.00 for wi-fi for unlimited access for your whole booking time, if you save the receipt you don't have to pay again when you come back to stay with us. Hope to see you again :)

I hope Chink261 can serve Nutellar every morning and not only during weekend. The hostel is excellent but the water pressure is very small, I almost have to stick to the wall when I was taking a shower.

I really enjoyed my stay at Clink261, the receptionist was an awesome guy, my room was perfect, really nice atmosphere and clean facilities. The location, near King's Cross, was perfect for me.

Adequate facilities, but lacking with social scene. Ideal for transit stay near transport .

Thank you for your thoughts! You can always go to the Clash bar! It's just 5min walk from us and is only for the clinkers. There is a different party every day and lots of fun! You have to go there the next time you'll be staying at Clink :)

It was a big, but clean and friendly hostel. Only downside that in our dorm there weren't any lockers, but apart from that a recommendable place to stay:)

It would have been nice to have lockers for stuff in the hostel rooms for security but overall there was a safe feeling and I wasn't too cautious of my things in the room being taken because of the atmosphere.

Thank you for your review and brilliant ratings. We have lockers in reception area, but if all of them are taken - you are welcome to leave your valuables behind the desk or reception safe :) Hope to see you again!
