Clink 261Editor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

An informal, slightly shabby hostel near King’s Cross, the 172-bed Clink 261 (formerly known as the Ashlee House) is a fine bet for students and other steadfast budget travelers.

Clink 261's reception area may be funky and modern, but the rooms themselves are brutally straight-forward. Greenish walls, blue metal-frame bunk beds coordinated with blue patterned sheets, bright duvets, and freestanding sinks with mirrors are all characteristics. It’s all a bit slap-dash; however, in the right light, it’s also cheery.

The main appeal is the cheap nightly rates—as cheap as £14 per person per night—and the convenient location a few minutes from King’s Cross.
