Liked: It's very clean Full breakfast included Nice and welcoming staff It's located in a very quiet area and only 5 min from King's Cross You have some restaurants and take away around

Disliked: Quite busy at weekends.If you are just gonna stay for 1 or 2 nights is ok but more than that I wouldn't recommend it coz the bedrooms are really small and the beds are awful!

Liked: Well the female staff of that day wasnt too friendly and embarrased me by making me feel l should have known to bring my passport or ID, l gave her my credit card, official letters of my solicitor/bank/university letters pointing at my name and address to her for her to have a reference of me, but instead she wanted me to wait there till supervisor came, other member of staff took over who was more sensible and assertive on his approach. With her l didnt feel welcome at all!! l mean l booked beforehand and pay deposit and l was never told l had to bring passport or id plus l been in other places and they dont request that.

Disliked: female receptionist!. l understand there is rules and regulations in every organisation but her approach has to improve she wasnt friendly at all! Instead made me feel like an intruder.

Liked: staffs were very friendly. security was tight and therefore safe place to stay at. could leave luggage in the room without worrying much.

Disliked: the room was very small, so there was little luggage space. room light was also very dim, and the rooms were so closely situated that noises from the neighbouring rooms n corridors could be heard very clearly.

Liked: I found my sleep very comforting.....i was able to rest well due to the good mattress....... i havent had such a good sleep for a long time!

Disliked: the flag which is supposed to be a symbol of goodness is very dull and dirty and must be changed frequently...also the design should be more appealing than is currently the case. A clean and better designed flag is neccessary so as to be consumerate with the status of the city of London.

Liked: Loved the vibe of the place. Really upbeat but niche with it being an old court house. Good location too - in walking distance to Kings Cross St Pancras. We stayed in a private room. It is all you need as a base in London.

Liked: The place was clean and comfortable. Good facilities in the Hostel as well with bar, kitchen, laundry etc

Disliked: It is a big hostel and had lots of groups of people when I was there which, as a single traveler, made it difficult to meet people as they all kept to themselves. Apart from that nothing was really wrong

Liked: The location was great, easy to find. Standard hostel experience. Having stayed at both, both the girlfriend and I agree that Clink 78 is the better choice over Clink 261.

Liked: I liked some of the hostel staff, they were kind and helpful. I also liked the overall look of the hostel, the colorful walls and even the unisex showers..! Although the girls' showers were better. I thought it was also situated in a nice enough area and fairly close to the tube station.

Disliked: It was loud at night time, sometimes even day time. The strange thing is, I never heard the VERY loud people next to us get any complaints by security, and then when my friend and I come home late ONCE (and don't even make any extra sound), security knocks on our door and tells us to be quiet. I think we just might have laughed once down at the lobby, which he saw happen. So that was pretty annoying and just ridiculous.
