London - Clink78
About the place
HostelClink78 is a unique hostel housed in a former courthouse, just ten minutes’ walk from King’s Cross Rail Station. With easy access to no less than six tube lines, the national rail network and the Eurostar, Clink78 is the perfect location from which to explore London and beyond.
Social and fun
Accused of shooting some expensive racing pigeons, punk rockers The Clash stood trial in this very building in 1978. Our lively basement venue in Clink78 takes inspiration from them – in both name and spirit! (No shooting of racing pigeons though – we’ve got to draw the line somewhere!)
On Fridays and Saturdays, we have our resident DJs on the decks. From Hip Hop to Motown – with a few 90’s classics thrown in for good measure.

Bar / atmosphere at the top. The correct room for the price. On the other hand, bathroom really not clean and nauseating smell.
Home super and a wonderful meeting
Friendly hostel for a young clientele. Privatized room very well. General atmosphere very well. Efforts to be made on the cleanliness.
We had a problem with rooms following our reservation. The service immediately took charge and found a solution to make our stay a perfect one and we really want to thank them again. The team is listening, pleasant and dynamic! Superb nice hostel!
Good reception and good stay in Clink78. Small room of 4 where you must not be modest or want too much privacy. Bar area, very friendly kitchen and welcoming staff. Sanitary rudimentary, but enough for the stay.
