Liked: The building hostel is located in is amazing, old courthouse. Short walk to Kings Cross Station (and Eurostar). Staff were very helpfull!

Disliked: Waaay too many bunks packed in one room. The hostel is massive, seriously they could take one or two bunks out per room. Sleeping within 5 cm of someone else's face was not cool. My fellow dorm users had also covered the floor entirely with luggage, bags, clothes etc and this does not seem to be controlled by staff. I tripped over a few times on the way to bed. I probably wouldnt stay here again because of this.

Liked: I liked the location - 15 minutes walk from St. Pancrass railway station. I liked the sale price of a bed in 10 bed dorm - 10 GBP. I liked the way the beds were separated from each other, giving the guests more privacy. I also like the staff's attitude towards guests - they were really helpful. The bathrooms and toilets were also clean. The common area in the hostel was also nice.

Disliked: The window in the bedroom was broken and did not close at all - in the middle of the winter! So it was quite cold in the bedroom at night, and quite noisy because of the noise from the street. Fortunately, I had my jumper and my earplugs :-) The room was way too small for 10 people - I would compare its size to a size of 6-bed dorm in other hostels I stayed at. The bunk beds filled out most of the space of the bedroom, leaving hardly any space for the luggage (the space under the bed was already taken by the person sleeping on the bed below mine), so I had to share my bed with my hand luggage, leaving my suitcase next to the trash bin in the room (the only place available). The individual lamp above my bed did not work at all, and the "safe" was big enough to hold just a wallet, a mobile phone, and perhaps a small camera. Nonetheless, you get what you paid for - 10 GBP was a reasonable price for such accomodation, and since I stayed for one night only there, I was happy with my stay, despite all the things I disliked :-)

Liked: It esaba good and nice place to stay a couple of days. I recommend it for young people because there was a good place down stairs where you can party and meet more people. you aldo can find big áreas to cook and prepare food. It was near a underground station that connect you everywhere but not in the centre of all.

Disliked: too much noise in the nights arround the halls. No wifi connection you hace to pay for it abd was really expensive.

Liked: Good location, relatively good price and good cleanliness.

Disliked: It took me about half an hour just to check-in. There were lots of people either checking in, out or demanding information and only one member of the staff to handle it. Besides, the 10-bed room I was in was kind of small for this amount of people - that means each bed is centimeters away from each other. Since they are 2 story beds with panes separating them, it looked like a cave in the beds below.

Liked: Clink was very well situated, easy to find transport to the whole city and had a great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. A good selection was provided for the free breakfast.

Disliked: The rooms close to the road can be a little noisy from traffic. Other than head lockers for small items there were no lockers available for free, there was lockers that could be hired though. Wifi/computer use was quite quite expensive.

Liked: Very well located near the train station and underground St Pancras and near several restaurants and shops. Good value relative to the location and the rooms. Cozy atmosphere, receiving various kinds of people. Staff helpful, polite and friendly.

Disliked: The shared bathrooms are difficult to use because the showers are too strong (they wet the clothes, towels, etc.) and turn off from time to time, having to be triggered again. In addition, Internet access could be free, via wi-fi.
