8.8ExcellentExpand details
This was my first time in a hostel,but I was really suprised about the cleanliness of it,helpful staff,and good size lounge area and equipped kitchen. It was also really quiet at night. One thing,the showers for the girls were quite cold and the staff said it was normal.The boys had hot showers,but the bathroom was flooded with water.However,if you forget that,it is a really nice hostel.

Wheelchair accessLimited wheelchair access (some common areas and/or some rooms).Due to the layout of the building, Clink261 is not accessible for wheelchair users, however, our sister hostel, Clink78 is perfectly adapted for our disabled guests. Guests in wheelchairs have a separate entrance into Clink78. This entrance is located down the left side of the building, along Great Percy street, opposite the Boris bikes. This is the second door on the side of the building. There is a small buzzer that guests need to press then a member of staff will come and help you in. In the hostel, we have an elevator which goes to all floors apart from our girl’s only section of the building. As our building was built over 200 years ago, we are unable to change the layout of the building to incorporate an elevator in this section. On the ground floor of the building we have a disabled shower and toilet, fully fitted with emergency alarms and handles.
