    Good price, centrally located and comfy beds. The rooms could use a paint job (brown, really?) but there's a bar, TV room room and dining hall + the entire city of London, so why are you in the room?!

    Great atmosphere at the beginning with an awesome bar, a free breakfast every morning, but absolutely NOT comfortable. Bedrooms are ugly, showers are awful, ...

    Clink78 is a fun, friendly, fresh London backpackers with fantastic facilities. We are set in a beautiful 200 year-old courthouse that mixes elegant Victorian architecture with modern interior design.

    Such a clean, sociable and convenient hostel. Rooms available for little a night, which is a rare and excellent price for its location in London ( 10 min. walking distance to Kings Cross station).

    Awesome place for the prices charged! Rooms are a bit cramped but still good! Also, if there's a kid playing the ukelele in reception, please remove it from him!

    Get a real feel of court house by sitting in a real court room which is now made in TV room and Internet room. Awesome!

    The showers sucks, they only have hot water and you can't even regulate the temperature. It also has timer so you gotta be pushing the button to get water every minute or so.

    I just didn't love it. The noise, the smell, the informality, I can live with that... But they charge you for everything, they don't have enough plugs in the rooms, the wifi it is shitty.

    The free breakfast consists of cheap sugary cereal, lousy bread and juice from concentrate. Highly unrecommended.

    HORRIBLE. If you are staying here, good luck, if not this is what you'll miss: breakfast is in crowed bunker and include the cheapest cereals, bread and coffee. rude little kids. no sunlight in rooms

    I wasn't expecting much from a hostel, but it was worst than I though. The rooms are buried in the earth, no sunlight into the rooms. If you 're lucky enough you might hear the underground's noise !!!

    Just try another hostel. It has a good location, but everything is messy, rooms are not cozy and people just don't get quiet at night. One of the worst hostels I've ever been.

    If you are older than 25 and/or have ever stayed at a good hostel, this is likely not a good choice.

    Take the No63 bus from Kings Cross rather than walk, the Acton St stop (second stop) is on the front steps of the hostel

    The worst hostel i have ever stayed. It has no organization and the bedrooms are way too dark. If you have a choice do not come to Clink 78.
