Booking Information

What are your booking terms and conditions?

Surprises are great, but not when it comes to your booking. Please take a moment to read our Booking Terms and Conditions to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. We value transparency and want to make sure you have all the necessary information. If you have any questions, our team is here to help. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. Click below to check out our terms and conditions.

Can I rock up to the hostel and book a bed or room?

For sure! We always try to keep a few beds available for walk-ins. It can get pretty busy, especially in the summer and on weekends, so we’d suggest checking availability here on our website first.

I haven’t received my booking confirmation email, what should I do?

Don’t panic, but in case you do, place your head between your legs, and take deep breaths.

It can take up to 10 minutes for confirmation emails to arrive (check your junk folder!). If you booked directly on clinkhostels.com then email our lovely Reservations team at reservations@clinkhostels.com stating the name of the hostel you booked, your name, confirmation number and arrival date and we will try our best to resend it to you.

If you booked with a partner e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb etc. please contact them directly to resend your booking confirmation.

How do I get more information about the room or hostel’s facilities?

Everything about your room and the property facility will be in your booking confirmation email. For more information, you can visit the property pages on our website.

Will I pay full price for my children?

Children under 3 stay free of charge in travel cot in their parents’ room. A private room or a whole dorm will have to be booked for the same. Children under 16 cannot stay in a dorm.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Changes can be made for fully flexible bookings up to 24hrs before arrival and semi-flexible bookings 7 days prior to arrival. Changes cannot be made to non-refundable bookings at any time. Soz.

What do ‘non-refundable’ and ‘free cancellation’ mean?

Every booking is subject to the policy of the rate that was booked:

A “non-refundable” policy means that you are asked to pay in advance the full price of the reservation even if you decide to change or cancel. This fee is mentioned in the conditions during the booking process, and in the booking confirmation.

A “free cancellation” policy means you can change or cancel a booking for free, as long as you do it within the time period specified by the property (for example “Cancel up to x days” or “Cancel before dd/mm/yy hh:mm”). This is mentioned in the conditions during the booking process, and in the booking confirmation.”

Property Policies

I want to check-out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

We just want you to chill and it’s no problem to book a late check-out up to 12.00pm. You can arrange this service from the pre-arrival email you receive 72 hours before or simply talk to our team at reception when you arrive. They’re really very friendly and won’t bite as long as you feed them.

How long can I stay at your hostels for?

For all our hostels guests can stay for a maximum of 14 days in a 28-day period. And believe us, you can pack a lot in in a fortnight! If you’d like more information about this policy, you can chat with our helpful chatbot or reach out to our amazing reservations team.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

“Check-in is from 4 pm until 4 am. Our receptions are open 24/7 but we highly recommend to check-in online before arrival. You can do this from your booking confirmation email if you’ve booked directly on clinkhostels.com. You can also opt for an early check-in (subject to availability & extra charge) if you’re arriving before 4 PM from the pre-arrival email you receive 3 days before your arrival.

Checkout is at 10 AM on the day that you’re leaving, unless you want to snooze in and check out late at 12 PM (subject to availability and extra charge).”

Do I need identification when I check-in?

Yes, we require a valid photo id to check-in all our guests to our hostels and we promise not to laugh at your mugshot.

For guests a Clink i Lár in Dublin: Please bring a valid government-issued ID (passport, national ID, driver’s license from North America, Australia, or EU, or Garda Age Card for Ireland). Photocopies and residency cards/visas are not accepted.

Do you allow pets to stay at your hostels?

We love animals, but alas, your furry four legged friend will have to stay at home. The only exception is if you require an assistant dog but please do remember to bring all it needs for a comfortable night’s stay.

I will be arriving earlier / later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

That’s no problem at all. Early check-in at 12.00pm & is available for purchase before you arrive in the pre-arrival email you receive 72 hours before your stay!

Can I bring guests in who aren’t staying at the hostel?

Who doesn’t love company? Friends and family who live in the city or are staying at other accommodations are more than welcome in any of our restaurants, bars and public social areas. The only areas off limits are our private rooms and dorms

Can I smoke in the hostel?

If we see smoke around you, we’ll assume you’re on fire and drench you with water. Sorry though, it’s strictly no smoking/vaping inside the hostels! If you enjoy a nicotine fix every now and then, you’re welcome to smoke/vape outside the hostels.

Will my room be cleaned daily?

Our cleaning fairies clean private rooms before check-in and after the third night of stay. Dorms will be cleaned daily (except long term rooms that are cleaned weekly).

We do ask that you make your bed yourself.

Can I be allocated a bottom bed?

You sure can! You can purchase the bottom bunk (subject to location and availability) in the pre-arrival email you receive 72 hours before your stay.

Payment Policies

Do I have to pay city tax?

Unfortunately in life, two things you can be sure of… death and taxes, but thankfully you are only required to pay city tax in Amsterdam which is 12.5%. There is no need to pay city tax in London and Dublin.

Please note that the city tax of Amsterdam increased from 7% to 12.5% on 1 January 2024. For all stays in 2024, the price will be updated to reflect this change.

What payment methods are accepted?

We are primarily cashless properties so we only accept Mastercard, iDEAL, Visa card payments for all bookings. The payment card must match the guest’s name on identification on arrival. We do not accept American Express, Diners Club cards or any other card.

I’ve been charged. Do I need to do anything?

In most cases, no action is required from you. As outlined in the payment policy for your booking, this is likely just a prepayment for all or part of the total cost.

If there is no prepayment policy, then we may have taken a test payment from your card. This is a temporary hold, that’s used to guarantee your booking, and will be returned to you. If you still feel the charge is unexpected, you can contact us for assistance.

What’s the difference between a pre-authorisation and an actual charge to my credit card?

Pre-authorisations are common but are often confused with actual charges. While in-store purchases are immediately charged and deducted from your available balance, pre-authorisations are temporary holds. The length of the hold will vary, and your credit card company can advise how they handle this.

How will I know if my card has been pre-authorised?

Your available balance will be reduced temporarily by the full amount of your reservation. You may also see “pending transactions” on your credit card account summary. If you’re not sure if your card had been pre-authorised, both the hostel and your credit card company can verify this.

How long will the pre-authorisation hold affect my available balance?

Your card provider can better explain this, along with the general terms and conditions associated with their pre-authorisation procedures. These terms vary across the board, so it’s best to contact them for specific details.

Will the pre-authorisation hold always equal the exact amount of my reservation?

In most cases, we will pre-authorise your card for the full amount of your reservation.

The credit card that I used to make a booking is no longer valid. What should I do?

If you booked directly, please contact us on reservations@clinkhostels.com to update your card details. If you booked via a partner e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, please contact them. For security reasons, never provide your credit card details by email or text message (you never know who’s watching!).

Where can I see the payment policy for my booking?

You can find the payment policy in your booking confirmation, the payment policy applicable to you is determined by the rate you booked e.g. non-refundable, semi-flexible, fully-flexible.

Which cards can I use to complete my booking?

To make a reservation via our website we accept Mastercard, Visa or iDeal payments.

Why do I need to provide my card details?

We request this to guarantee your booking, and the card is often used to pay when you book. If you don’t need to make a prepayment, then we may hold an amount on your card to ensure it has sufficient funds. This test payment will be returned to you.

Can I pay for my stay with a different credit card than the one I used to book?

We accept payment for the stay with a different card. To confirm that paying with a different credit card is okay, contact the property.

Can I make a reservation without a credit card?

Nope, sorry! You’ll need a credit or debit card to secure your booking.

When will my credit card be charged?

Non-refundable bookings will be fully charged at the time of booking. Semi-flexible bookings, the total price of the reservation will be charged 7 days prior to arrival. Fully flexible bookings will be charged 24 hrs prior to arrival.

Are my credit card details safe?

Most definitely. Our booking engine uses a secure connection and your personal data and credit card details are encrypted. Your personal data and credit card details are always encrypted. Our secure server uses ‘Secure Socket Layer’ (SSL) technology, the online industry’s standard.

Cancellations

How do I cancel my booking?

If you need to cancel your booking, make sure you check the cancellation policy in your booking confirmation email first.

If you booked directly, please email us at: reservations@clinkhostels.com. If you booked via a 3rd party partner e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb,etc. please contact them directly to cancel your booking.

If I need to cancel my booking, will I pay a fee?

If you have a free cancellation booking, you won’t pay a cancellation fee. If your booking is no longer free to cancel or is non-refundable, you may incur a cancellation fee. Any cancellation fees are determined by the hostel.

Can I cancel or change my dates for a non-refundable booking?

No, our non-refundable bookings cannot be cancelled or amended under any circumstances.

How do I know if my booking was cancelled?

Rooms

What’s the difference between a private room, a private dorm and a shared dorm?

When you book a private room or a private dorm, you will only be sleeping in a room with the people you booked with whereas in a dorm, you will have room mates.

What’s the difference between a Double room and a Twin room?

A twin room is a room that has one bunk bed (or two single beds at Clink i Lár), and a double room is a room that has one double bed. 

What’s the difference between shared facilities and en-suite?

If you book a room or a bed in a shared facilities room, you’ll need to pop outside your room or dorm to use the shared toilet and shower facilities. They’re located on every floor – just remember to bring your key card or your phone! If you book an en-suite room or bed, your room has its own bathroom. It means you don’t have to go outside your room to use the toilet or shower. Just be aware that if you have booked an en-suite dorm, you’ll share the bathroom with other guests staying in the dorm with you.

What’s a pod room?

Our pod beds are designed to make you feel like you are staying in a private room. The pods have black out curtains to provide privacy while you sleep. Each pod is equipped with hooks for clothes, a rail for towels, adjustable ventilation (for a flow of clean & fresh air), upholstery for sitting comfortably, reading light, charging points, multicolour LED light and a mesh pocket for items. We’ve also selected super comfy mattresses and linen to give you the best sleep experience ever!

Are the dormitories mixed gender?

Dorms are always mixed unless you book a ‘Girls Only’ dorm.

Can I request an extra bed in my room and will there be extra costs?

We do not supply extra beds or cots for rooms. All of our rooms have beds available for the rooms maximum capacity of occupants as per our guidelines and maximum capacity recommendations

Is it possible to get an extra bed or cot for a child?

Ah, the pitter, patter of little feet. We do and the best part is they are free however they are in limited number. However, we’d be more than happy to try and organise this before your stay. Just email us at reservations@clinkhostels.com stating the name of the hostel you booked, your name, confirmation number and arrival date in advance of your stay to give us enough time.

Pricing

Why is my payment not matching my booking total?

In Amsterdam, a 12.5% city tax will be added to your booking once you confirm your booking, hence why your payment is always more than your room booking.

Please note that the city tax of Amsterdam increased from 7% to 12.5% on 1 January 2024. For all stays in 2024, the price will be updated to reflect this change.

What does the price include?

All the facilities listed under the room or accommodation type are included in the price. You can also see if other things like breakfast, taxes or service charges are included when you compare different options to book. After you book, this information can also be found in your confirmation email.

Are the prices shown on the website per person or per room?

The price we show is stated in the room type and description.

Are taxes included in the price?

This depends on the property and booking type, but it’s easy to see what’s included when you compare different options to book. Tax requirements change from country to country so it’s always good to check. After you book, we also send this information in the confirmation email.

Can I use disocunt vouchers (e.g. issued on other websites etc.)?

Do you offer vegan or gluten-free options?

Our breakfast and Canteen can offer both Vegan and gluten free options, just let the staff know your requirements and they will assist you from there. Our Cafe also offers many tasty vegan options.

I need to check-out early, do you offer takeway breakfast?

Our cafe is open in reception 24/7, so if you need to pick up some breakfast before you leave early we will be happy to help you there.

Do you serve alcohol in the hostels? Can I bring and drink my own alcohol?

You’re not allowed to bring alcohol into any of our hostels. If you fancy a cheeky drink, head to the ClashBAR in London, ZincBAR in Amsterdam or Wunderbar in Dublin. Due to our bar license, guests cannot bring their own alcohol onto our permises.
