Clink78 is currently not operating as a hostel, it’s an office building. I showed up at night after my flight just to find out that there’s no hostel there. They moved me to Clink261, but it was dirty and not what I originally signed up for. You need to pay for towels that you don’t even get to keep.

Racially profiled at Clink 78.

This place is well located, big. clean, but it does have a racial profiling issue.You must beware of your belongings as the hostel, in my opinion, isn't safe. It is my understanding, giving the interactions I had with the Hostel personnel that they could not care less for your damaged personal belongings. As a result, I would not recommend this Hostel and this decision if final.

Great Stay

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities are extremely clean and very well maintained. The bar downstairs is a fun atmosphere, and the kitchen area is large and accommodating. My only real criticism is that the bed was uncomfortably hard, and future travelers should bring an extra pillow as the provided pillow is also very thin. All told, I’d gladly rebook!

Some staff were quite rude. I was trying to have a private phone call where I wouldn’t disturb anyone and would not be disturbed and was told the only place I could use the phone was in the noisy communal area. Not allowed to sit on the stairs quietly where nobody was around. Also staff coming Into the room frequently and very loud with no consideration to guests sleeping or trying to sleep

My only major complaint is the showers are push buttons and don’t stay on for long. It also took them a long time to warm up.

Bed bugs

we stayed at clink hostel over the 2020 new year period. We stayed in one of the cell rooms which we thought would be a cool experience as they are real converted hail cells. The lack of cleanliness however put a massive dampener on our stay. The room floor was dirty and the communal showers were ok but the real problem is that we left with bed bug bites. There were no cups by the coffee machine, no water in the vending machines. The check in service we received was brilliant, but other than that, it’s a horrible hostel that needs to be thoroughly cleaned. I will not stay there again.
