Clink261 is a hostel on Gray's Inn Road in King's Cross, listed with shared dorms, girls-only dorms and private rooms. Beds in the dorms are sold per bed per night, which is the standard arrangement for hostel stays of this kind. The building runs a self-catering kitchen, so guests can cook for themselves rather than eating out every night. Reception is staffed 24 hours, luggage storage is available, and the hostel operates cashless, with taxes included in the listed rates. The hostel is non-smoking throughout. Free cancellation is offered on the listing, though the terms attached to it can vary by rate, so it is worth reading the cancellation detail on the booking page before reserving.
The room types at Clink261 fall into three groups. Shared dorms are the standard option, with beds sold individually. Girls-only dorms are listed for female travellers who prefer that setting. Private rooms are also bookable for guests who want a locked door and their own space. In short: pick a bed if cost is the driver, pick a private room if privacy is. Everything in between is a question of availability on your dates, which the booking page shows live.
