Clink78 Reviews
Based on 57 Hotel ReviewsNot bad very stylish despite 10 in a bedroom (now less than the norm for London}. Toilets and showers ok too. Beautiful building architecturally, classy detailing and vaulted glass roof and panelled ex courtroom. Nice details, excellent thematic development and modern furniture. Clink78 is also near fantastic looking vegan restaurant, but then the hostel had a superb state of the art kitchen that exceeded my expectations, best I've seen in hostels and clean on top plus large cell themed kitchen and bar with free drinks 1st night
Pleasant experience staying at Clink78. I came for an exam the day after, not as backpacker, surprisingly its a quiet and nice place to do revision, especially at the dock! Satisfied with the cleanliness as well
Good experience. I forgot my costly wrist watch in toilet. But I got it while vacating from the desk (It had a tag with notes saying time and place found). Jai ho Clinch78
Very good London hostel and quick service at a busy time. Well informed members of staff and a clean room for me and my group to stay in for Wireless Festival
This was a very nice London hostel for very affordable prices. Located near the largest train station in London, I found it very easy to get to almost anywhere I wanted to in the city during my stay. The people at the desk were very helpful, and I would definitely recommend staying at Clink78
