If you are in a hostel is, you should something a know expected and for a hostel it was really reasonable, the beds were good, the rooms rather small, but one is anyway only for sleeping since. The showers were also good, we had single showers in which enough room was his things with without the this totally got wet. The staff members were all very nice, when checking in we even has a staff the suitcase high carried, we thought that was really nice, because we in the section were where no elevator was. The breakfast was very sporadically ..., there were toast with jams, honey or nutella and muesli and cereals. The location is great, one is from Krings cross everywhere in a couple of minutes, so for a city break very suitable. The only thing which really disturbed, it was everywhere in the hostel the heater was full swing and especially in the bedrooms you could turn cannot independently down, so you slept with 10 people in a room and the heater was fully turned on, it was not pleasant. As the window also only about 20 centimeters could be opened, the helped anyway not really further. We have this time at the front desk noted but it was unfortunately nothing done. Apart from that if you a cheap accommodation in the middle in London, this is in good hands. read more

The Clink78 is in an old courtroom, and is a very cool and well furnished hostel. Stayed here in a room for 4 and I thought it was a bit cramped in comparison to other hostels. There is a bar on the ground floor, which opens at night and is a good place to hang out before going to bed, and although it will play music, you will not hear anything in the rooms. read more

The Clink, is housed in a former prison, has a nice lobby area, as well as numerous rooms on 5 floors. (Please note: there was also in the basement room) The hostel has an overall simple, worn but clean impression. The breakfast we only on the first morning running. Toast, jam, Butter I think that was it. Ahja, Insant-coffee, orange juice and cereal not to be forgotten. Overall it is somewhat manageable. Breakfast was down in the basement in the kitchen area + bar on simple wooden benches. Furthermore, there was TV room, internet room + kitchen to cook and ... 441 Reiseshop. The (mostly young guests (many school groups) which is mostly from rest of europe but also from the other parts of the world. read more

    The welcome we got a room in the basement. The "rooms" (at least for 3 persons) was about 4 - 5 60 square feet in size and had a bunk bed, coffee table and a clothes hooks. From the 4 and 5 sqm "living space" went again about 2 sqm for the plastic bathroom from: toilet, mini basin and shower. Completely in a very sterile plastic liners. The bunk bed (double bed", top single CELLULAR below) standing right in front of the "window" (Lüftungsklappe). Below the bed was much too small for 2 people and above actually, you could sleep with open windows because a freezing cold air blowing right in the back. Sit or otherwise plan to hang out in your hotel room is say we say ... Rather not so recommendable, also for a room change to the 2 . OG the same ... However we had the impression that the new rooms even was a bit smaller. house keeping 2x (couldn't quite be opened without the side table next to the bed.

    Each cellar bar, open from 18 :00 with a daily happy hour. Billiards and table football. big plus for the girls love the service, minus the fact that it only from the snacks (pay) vending machines. Overall but great for getting to mingle with the other guests and party. Breakfast as described above really well arranged.

    Despite the girls at the front desk the really nice and very very hard there is a bad review: After in our "Kellerverlies" (lower "rooms" are not so wanted to really feel at ease there was without any problem a new room with a little natural light. + Check out worked without a problem. So there is a huge plus! Room cleaning didn't take place ( only a final cleaning) and services are for hostels more unusual. (There is a trunk, laundry service and safe boxes.

    Relatively centrally located a few hundred meters from the tube St. Patrick's Panacross away. From here is with the convenient pass for the tube (to get in the Hoteltravelshop) explore all of London. Set on St. Patrick's station you can find numerous restaurants, pubs, shops, hairdressers, etc. As well as a supermarket. Also close by the hostel you found a few stores and at least 2 really great pubs.

I have spent the last 2 times in the clink, hostel Both as a group of Freundinen, as well as alone. The rooms are spartan but nice. The breakfast was very well arranged but FREE. However, the Clink, rather a bit for young people or More adventurous above all evenings rather the Community well maintained as it in the basement kitchen, a bar and smoking area. You'll meet people from around the world, and should not be shy. As it is not the place for a family vacation. So for all who like to explore new become acquainted with people ... ( and knowledge of foreign languages have) simply great! The subway is just five minutes' walk away. The hostel is clean in general. The check-in/check-out desk is available 24 hours a day. The staff is friendly, and as they come from around the world are very many different an native english speaking or available. Conclusion, great hostel for young people who did a city break or as backpackers, lot of traveling because the price-performance ratio is great! read more
