Strategic location, staff it’s helpful(24 hour reception)”
The hotel location it’s really convenient to hoping around city, it stated about 5 minutes walk from the King Cross St. Pancreas which connected mostly every line of Underground station. There’s also train station ( Harry potter platform 9 3/4) to travel to other city as well. They clean your room and toilet everyday. However the room it’s all the while dark even morning. It’s ok for me, cuz it’s a hostel. Clink 261 it’s more quiet than Clink 78 as they have a bar there, if you concern more to rest choose 261. The kitchen it’s 24 hour access too, unless they close to cleaning progress. The room it’s warm for winter, I was awake in the middle of night because of sweating. So no worry for keeping yourself warm in winter here.

Another fun stay at Clink 261”
Always reliable, Clink 261 is a great option if you're in London and you need an inexpensive place to stay in a central location. My one gripe is the ladders leading to the upper bunks -- they're tricky to climb. Otherwise this is ideal and I'll certainly be back.

Very convenient!”
If you hate spending time commuting and don't want to spend too much money on living like me, Clink 261 is a great choice for you and it's also clean! Besides, it's near a lot of bus stops, metro and train station so you don't need to worry about missing a way of getting back to the hostel when it's late.

Nice”
This is my first stay in a hostel and I was amazed by the cleanliness and super friendly staff. It's near to St Pancras and King Cross station. There is a Coop just beside the hostel. You can easily find restaurant nearby as well!

Great Location, Could use more showers”
Location is near the London Kings Cross Station so that means plenty of bus stops available nearby. There are also a number of eating places around. However, I felt like there should be more shower stalls available. The floor I was in only had the boys' shower. I had to go down one floor to use the shower and toilet. The USB charging unit above my bunk bed would only let me charge one device at a time. Good think there are options for using wall plugs. I stayed at the four only dorm and on my last night I found myself with three male Asians who snore. I'm not sure if they were put there because we are all Asians (but I'm a girl!) or whatever. Note that there are three steps up before the reception and no ramp to facilitate luggage handling. But the staff seemed nice.

Hi Kathleen, thanks for your feedback! Happy to hear you liked the team and location. Happy travels! Kind regards, Ami @261
Excellent”
Excellent location and really close to Kings Cross. The room is clean and decent as I booked a private room for two. They have a private washing basin in the room which is convenient especially when we were washing up for the day. Some of the shower cubicles are pretty small and with no hanger. The hot water was not consistent when bathing. The soundproof of this building is very bad too. In the middle of the night, I can hear storming of footsteps from other customers as they were returning to the hostel. Other than that, it was good.

Very good”
It’s smaller than Clink 78, but staff was friendly as well. Bathroom is small and not enough, no public hair dryer in bathroom, you have to borrow from reception. But it’s quit close to Kings cross station, one night should be ok.

Strategic Location”
Just walking around 8 minutes to King's Cross Station. Kitchen was fully equipment. Have a laundry and dryer but doesn't have a iron. Before book I have been asked them first and they said they provide it. But when my trip one of them said they don't have at this hostel but at another yes. Hmmm... but nevermind... it's ok. Will be staying again if I come back to London.

perfect location. nice choice ”
very clsoe to King's Cross, it's safe even when I return in midnight. generally wise choice in Central London, really cheap and offer free drink that night. friendly service and quite. but the room has a little strange smell, maybe need to be aired more often. and you have to make bed sheet yourself:)

Near to Metro”
I booked for 1 bed in 6-bed dorm but end up with 18-bed dorm. Locker is available but bring your own padlock. Kitchen is available to use although i can’t find anyone know how to operate microwave. Near to King Cross station. Bed linen is provided but bring your own towel. Computer at the lobby is charged if you want to use. The hostel can store your luggage before check in and after checkout. Breakfast available at £4.50. Shower gel and hot water is not available in the shower. Overall it is good for an hostel and reasonable for the price.

Good location”
Bus stop is just 1min away, and st pacras king's cross station is 5min walk away. Staffs are super friendly. Bedbunks in dormitory do not have curtains, and shower room has a bit of a smell. However all in all, good place to stay to catch early morning train to continue your journey

Very friendly and helpful staff ”
Have stayed many times, situated not far from Kings Cross station, very friendly and helpful staff and good value for money. Could improve with the provision of hairdryers in every shower room. All beds with reading light and power socket, room with locker and there are kitchen facility for cooking.

Hey K Thank you for leaving a review! I will forward your advice about he hairdryers to the managers and see if we can do something about that. Beside, thank you again Have a wonderful day Dre, Front of House team member

Near to st pancras and king cross station”
Suitable for those who want take earliest euro train in the morning as it is 10-15 minutes walking distance to st pancreas and king cross station. A bit crowded in the toilet, somebody took my locker and staff don't bother at all after i told her but ask me to use any available locker. Ok for 1-2 night stay because of the location.

Room is too small and water pressure is too week.”
1. Too small: five double-deck beds were squeezed into a tiny room. Compared with other youth hostels, the size of the room might be only enough for three double-deck beds. There was no room for luggages when only 8 guests were accommodated in the room. The lower deck of bed was too low whenever I try to get in the bed, I bumped my head on the low ceiling. You can not sit straight on the lower deck. You cannot do anything but sleep in your bed. 2. Water Pressure is too weak. 3. There were group student guests making so much of noises late at night, but the staff did not do anything until other guest started to complain about it. No soundproof. 4. When I booked a room, only 1 pound cheaper a night than YHA London St Pancras. You'd better check if YHA have a room available first before you decide to stay with Clink 261. I would not recommend Clink 261 to my freind.

Good. Comfy. Accessible. ”
Self centered Chinese girl kept her light on all the night. I asked her to turn off the light but she said it is her option. The light was so bright that I could not sleep till 2am. She left it on till 3am. What’s worse she let the window open while others were sleeping. Thanks to her, I got a cold! I kept asking her to close the window at least during the night but she simply ignored it and acted like this is a private hotel room. The hostel needs to let people aware of other users and warn to that kind of selfish people.. Except it, everything was comfy and perfect.
