Hostelworld says:

Clink78 is a former courthouse, where Charles Dickens worked and the Clash were fined for shooting pigeons. Hostelworld guests have said this hostel offers 'great value for money and a really good atmosphere', 'impeccable cleanliness', a popular bar and 'very friendly and relaxed' staff. The 'clean and modern' rooms include privacy screens for the beds and individual reading lights as well as personal power points. Visitors say it's 'very close to Kings Cross station so we could get anywhere in London relatively quickly and easily'. We like the impressive stained-glass ceiling in reception.
