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.
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.
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!
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
If we spot smoke near you, we’ll assume you’re blazing hot and douse you with water – sorry! Inside our hostels, it’s a strict no-go for smoking or vaping. But fear not, if you fancy a puff, feel free to step outside. Lighting up indoors could cost you a hefty fine, so we strongly advise against it.
Our cleaning fairies work their charm in private rooms before your arrival and after your third night’s stay. Dorms get a daily spruce-up (except for long-term stays, which get a weekly refresh).
Every room gets a thorough cleaning before you check in. Daily cleaning isn’t on the cards, though. If your towel ends up on the floor in shared dorms, it’ll be whisked away; in private rooms, it’ll be replaced.
Got any special requests? Our 24-hour reception is at your service!
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
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.
We are primarily cashless properties so we only accept Mastercard, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In most cases, we will pre-authorise your card for the full amount of your reservation.
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!).
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.
To make a reservation via our website we accept Mastercard, Visa or iDeal payments.
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.
We accept payment for the stay with a different card. To confirm that paying with a different credit card is okay, contact the property.
Nope, sorry! You’ll need a credit or debit card to secure your booking.
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.
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.

Rooms
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.
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.
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.
At Clink261, in London, we offer pods designed to give you a private room feel. These cozy pods feature blackout curtains for uninterrupted privacy during your restful sleep. Each pod comes equipped with hooks for your clothes, a towel rail, adjustable ventilation for a constant flow of fresh air, comfortable upholstery for relaxation, a reading light, charging points, multicolor LED lighting, and a handy mesh pocket for your essentials.
Plus, we’ve handpicked super comfy mattresses and linen to ensure you enjoy the ultimate sleep experience!
Dorms are always mixed unless you book a ‘Girls Only’ dorm.
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
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
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.
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.
The price we show is stated in the room type and description.
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.
Absolutely, if it’s an official promo code issued by us it will work on our website for direct bookings. Win! Win!

Security and Awareness
Fun fact, 90% of people are caused by accidents. We can’t help that but we at Clink strive to provide a safe and accident free haven for travellers. Reception is open 24/7, so there’s always someone available if you have any issues or need a question answered. Alternatively chat to us through our messaging section in our Goki app.
Access to all the hostels is by key card or mobile phone key entry (as long as you have downloaded our Goki app before arrival).
Our security teams are on duty every night to ensure we can all sleep safe and sound. CCTV cameras are up and running in all communal areas and corridors.
Social engineering is a strategy scammers use. They pretend to be a trusted source and then try to trick people into giving them access to sensitive personal data. Online scammers usually pretend to be a well-known company, using a seemingly logical reason to ask you for your personal data and payments.
There are known security tips and tricks that can help you avoid online scams:
Phishing emails will usually have a sense of urgency or spelling mistakes.
Need to contact us? It’s best to open a new tab and to go to our official website www.clinkhostels.com.
Got an email with a link? Try to hover over it to see if the URL looks suspicious, or maybe is missing the known ‘https://’ at the beginning of it.
