Hostel was in a great location and the bar area was always a lot of fun at night. Free breakfast was great, staff were always helpful. Just need more power points in rooms and bathrooms

Very clean hostel with a very good common room and good breakfast! Would definitely recommend it to other travelers going to London.

Internet is not free and I think it is a great drawback but otherwise it's a very good hostel. Also the ladder to climb to the bed is not very handy.

Nice people on reception! Keep the spirit high guys! Breakfast was surprisingly good. I liked the bar/kitchen combination. Rooms are tight but you can expect that in a central London hostel. I'll stay here again!

My stay at your hostel felt like i was home. I stayed there also from 21st til 24th of Janauary and it was awesome. Really nice staff. Very kind, helpfull and understanding. Next time when i am London i'll stay with you. Keep up the good work.

Booked an 8 bedroom dorm, the room was extremely cramped with no ventilation. By morning the room smelt horrible. The showers were very tiny and "push nozzles", bathrooms were individual and extremely small, but sufficed. The only good thing about the hostel was the eating facilities and the breakfast. They offer Internet for a 3 pound charge per device and it doesn't work anywhere other than the main floor and eating area.

If you arrive before 2:30pm, you can drop your bag off in the luggage room, which is standard at hostels. I walked there from Victoria Station, it is a good hour and a half, but I prefer walking over paying for the subway, though the King's Cross Station is close. It is about a 15 minute walk from the British Museum. The facilities were clean. Wi-fi is three pounds. I would stay here again the next time I go to London.

I LOVED this hostel. I stayed two nights in a 12-bed room and one in a 4-bed room. The 12-bed was a great amount of space for 12 people but the 4-bed would have been cramped if there had been 4 people. The bathrooms and showers were clean, beds were comfortable, and there were lights above each bed (a huge plus, in my book). The atmosphere was good and I really liked the the hostel was worked to keep the courthouse features. Good location although a little hard to find. Would stay here again.

it was a perfect hostel for back packer. they provide shampoo, towel, body soap, and even hair dryer!!!! worth a money definitely!! however, If i were you I would check the total price before the cancellation period. It turned out I save 12 pounds just by cancelling it and then rebooking it! price difference was quite huge I must say. I didnt do that deliberately but it turned out I save 12 pounds for 5 days! well Absolutely someplace to revisit!

I really enjoyed my stay at Clink 78. It was my second time at the hostel, and I enjoyed again the friendliness of staff, and the general atmosphere of the hostel. I like the fact that there's always a vibrant ambiance in the common rooms. internet still works well, and lockers are not too expensive! As a lonely traveler, I also enjoyed having Christmas dinner with everyone at the hostel. Only thing, bathrooms could be a little cleaner, but in general it is fine. Thank you again!
