CLINK HOSTELS WIN BEST ACCOMMODATION AT BRITISH TRAVEL AWARDS
London Hostel Clink78 won the prestigious BETA (British Educational Travel Associations) award for Best Accommodation 2012. Clink Hostels (STAY WYSE Member) is a small chain of European hostels that have now firmly established themselves in the high standard, boutique hostel market. By choosing character properties in Europe’s most exciting destinations, Clink Hostels have quickly attracted a loyal community of backpackers who want a fun and stylish hostel experience.
Clink78 is set in the beautifully renovated Victorian 200 year old courthouse in Kings Cross. This lively hostel can accommodate over 500 guests from as little as £12 a night and comes fully equipped with fast Wi-Fi, 24hr CCTV and a private residents bar, aptly named The Clash. Yes, this is the building where The Clash were famously found guilty of shooting carrier pigeons in 1978, provoking them to write the brilliant song ‘Guns on the Roof’. This chic boutique hotel still offers its guests a taste of its criminal past for those who want it and you can rent a prison cell for you, or your jail-bird mate from £50 a night. Cells come fully furnished and complete with a barred window! But if that doesn’t take your fancy never fear as they have the full range of accommodation, including cosy girls only dorms for those gals fed up of the guys snoring!
Clink 78 certainly seem to be on a roll, after deservedly winning the TNT travel magazine's Favourite Hostel in Britain award in November, they received a total of 4 awards at this year’s BETA Awards Ceremony.
Kristine Graudina, General Manager for Clink Hostels was delighted with the win and said, "It was an absolute pleasure to receive not only 1 but 4 awards. Occasions like this allow you to look back and realize that all our hard work is worth it and is paying off. Our Clink team have done a brilliant job and these awards go to them."
