I really liked this hostel! I stayed here for a night and it was clean, quiet and you get a sense of privacy if you book the pods which i did. The location is great only two minutes walk to Kings cross. would reccommend

The location was great but the rooms were dirty and I didn’t feel safe on in the hostal
5.0
This might of been my 4th time staying at this hostel. Its very convenient place if you need to catch a early train. The station is only about a 2min walk from the hostel. There are plenty of good pubs and restaurants close to the hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful.
The hostel is really affordable for the location.

Only stayed for one night so it was grand for what I wanted, but the pod was absolutely roasting. I had to have the little fan on the whole time but it wasn’t enough and I also had an issue with another guest complaining about the sound of the fan. Other than that, the pod was fairly spacious, two different lights, one for reading and one for ambience which was great! Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful too! The only thing that would keep me from staying here again is the heat issue
5.0
Hostel was clean and welcoming. Bed was confortable and sturdy. Shower was clean and hot.
Staff were helpful and friendly.
5 mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancreas with local co-op next door and vood food options close by. Good transport links.
Would happily stay again.

A spooky location and not so clean

It was the second time I stayed here and I can't complain. It's nice and tidy, staff is always friendly and helpful.
When I go back to London next year I'd definitely stay at the clink hostel again!
1.0
Reception staff was very friendly, I booked a eight beds dorm, the room too small for 8 person.
Under heat wave without air con ( or good ventilation）was a nightmare, the room got one big fan only on the floor, and two small windows in the room.
Bed so uncomfortable, had a low back pain next day.
Door sound loud

It was an ok experience. bed was nice. the hostel has a good location.There were three showers. The first shower was in maintenance and the second one was cold. So there was only one proper shower.
4.0
If all you need is a basic bed for the night this place will do. Room felt a bit like a prison cell but its a hostel what else can you expect. Showers were clean but lack anywhere to put your clothes whilst showering.
1.0
Really unsafe. Rooms were poorly lit and ventilated. No proper air conditioning so was uncomfortably hot each night. Would not return again and do not recommend to anyone looking for a cheap stay you can find safer accommodation elsewhere.
4.0
The hostel is located right near Kings Cross station and the Russell square area. Which is a convenient part of London. The staff are helpful and hospitable. The hostel has a good kitchen and common area. Over all its definitely one of the better hostel in London that I've stay at over the years. I will be returning again soon.
4.0
I liked that it was affordable, within reasonable distance of almost anywhere you’d want to go, and seemed relatively safe. I liked that instead of key cards, you are given a code, which means one less thing to keep track of. I did not like, however, that showers were not in individual/lockable spaces, and within the shower cubicles there wasn’t much space to put clothing/toiletries/towels/etc without it getting drenched by the time you finish showering. But overall a good experience, better in most respects than many other hostels in the area.
3.0
The hostels is close to King's Cross and the location is really well-served day/night.
I booked a room for girls (4 beds) and I tried the breakfast. The room was really small, only for sleep (no chairs, sofá, tables, wardrobe), no space for walking. Anyway, the hostels has a lovely kitchen and common area, where you can stay and relax instead of staying alone in the small bedroom. You can cook with other guests and make nice friends like I did. Staff was very nice and welcoming, cleaning is okay. This hostels is really cheap and nice if you travel alone.
I was in the firsf floor and I think toilets and showers are not enough, too many people. The washing machine was out of service for all my stay, it means that I had to buy extra clothes because I couldn't wash mine ones.

Friendly, clean, great location, short walk from King’s Cross.
Room tiny but cheap to stay there

Very friendly staff. Every bunk has its own personal plugs which is something that its hard to find at other hostels. The room was tiny though.
3.0
Great location near Kings Cross. Staff friendly. Self checkin is rubbish- takes ages (need to type in your licence ID etc.- then it didn’t work. Ah well. Showed are little all-in-one fibre glass things- they have a shelf for shampoo but the shower curtains are gone. Bunks are laid out like a concentration camp- people laying on each side of you with just a short partition. Stacked three high. Lucking I was on top with an open skylight above. Good sized lockers assigned to each guest, but typically, only a few tiny coat cooks to share.

Close to the Kings Cross St. Good accesses for everywhere in London.

I stayed in a 18 bed dorm. The bunks were side by side rather than end to end. There were some partitions between beds but they didn’t extend to the ends so there was a lack of privacy, don’t understand why they don’t put partitions end to end. Mattress was very thin but still reasonably comfortable. Natural light was from skylight with no blinds so you might be woken by early light. Everything seems clean including sheet and duvet cover which were soft and good quality. There was a small stain on the sheet, but if that kind of thing bothers you then you shouldn’t stay at a hostel. There are loads of lockers bring multiple padlocks. Two USB ports for each bunk and a reading light. Most hostels provide free tea and coffee, this one has a machine in the kitchen serving hot drinks for 50p. Toilets and showers very small but manageable. I didn’t notice any bad smells, and the areas were cleaned regularly. There seems to be someone at reception all night for your safety. The location is great, everything you could need is nearby.
1.0
Horrible experience booked while traveling to London got to the hostel to find even though I had paid and booked the room twice I had no booking. Reception were desperately scrambling for any reason to not allow me to stay inc no driving license or passport (I’m uk native) in end left the hostel instead of staying and I have now had to travel back to Coventry
It seem the hostel would prefer to leave a disabled person out on the street despite having paid for my accommodation. I travel to other cities and have never had this situation in any other city I have stayed at,even at very short notice
1.5
The room was mostly clean, but there were some bits of litter under the bed and a used face mask in the wardrobe. The showers were dirty - hairs in the plug that were still there the next day / lights not working / a blocked toilet with faeces floating around... not great. Common area was nice and the service was friendly. They need to up their cleanliness though.
1.0
Unhygienic. Cleaners never clean the toilets. Disgusting.
2.0
Host and location were great. The lounge and front desk look good, but the rooms themselves are nothing special: spartan vibe, like army barracks or hospitals; mostly filled with beds.
Which is ok if you care about the location and you want a cheap place to sleep with nothing fancy. The bed was clean and comfortable enough for me.
It's very close to King's Cross where you have trains and underground. London Liverpool Street station is less than 30 min away via the tube. You have buses and bike stations near the hostel as well.
There's a COOP store right next door; small cafes & restaurants, corner shops and fast food chains towards the train station. Tesco and Saintsbury are like 2 streets away.
Central London is easy to reach, the British Museum being pretty close to the hostel.
They have a kitchen, so you could cook to eat cheaply. You can work on your laptop or just chill in the lounge. I haven't had issues with the WiFi.
What disappointed me was the bathrooms. They are not great to begin with, but the night I arrived, the boy's bathroom on the first floor was disgusting. It still smelled like piss after I asked them to clean it next the day.
1.5
Close to St Pancras station.As I had an early start to go on the Eurostar this was close enough for a reasonable price.Originally I was put in a room in floor 3 that had no ladies bathrooms. When I asked for a change of room they did this quickly. The rooms are small so us travellers with lots of luggage had space issues. At least there was a lockable underbed box to store my valuable items. Also the lift was essential to avoid the problems that I had with my luggage in Amsterdam .

The room was cold.Receptionist don’t know what to do with some basic reservation change...
