The rooms and bathrooms are pretty standard but the staff is an unexpected and super positive experience. There is a real cafe in the reception area which serves great food (hot and cold), beer and drinks, as well as breakfast. The service provided by the staff is at the level you'd expect for a well-rated restaurant. I enjoyed sitting there for a while to work. There was also a waterfilling station. Apart from all this greatness, communication was excellent and started long before my arrival. Highly recommended!

No curtains on the beds which is really all that is missing.

Great location, Good price, Safety, Comfort

Carrying the luggage out of the room after my first day of 2 days stay. I asked the receptionist if I can leave the luggage in the room in locked lockers, but she told I have to take it out. I then asked if she can keep the luggage and the procedure seems too long..decided to carry it with me. This is easy to improve allowing luggage in same room for more than one night stay. No hanger compartments to hang the formal dress, it crumbles with no proper facility.

The location is excellent, especially if you need to travel outside of London by train as you are within eyesight of the two major London train stations. There's also plenty of communal space in the lounge and café to chill out in. Having the 24 hour reception desk available is helpful if you're coming or going at weird hours. Ultimately it's a hostel, and it delivers on what a hostel provides.

I would have liked to have access to communal bathrooms and toilets. There is one shower and toilet per room, so it would be handy to have the option of a communal one. That said, this might be available, I didn't think to ask.

The location is really nice, just in front of the King’s Cross station, so you easily can go anywhere. And view from my room was beautiful. A cafe space on the ground floor was big enough, plus a lounge on the 1st floor was also nice, more quiet, so it was a good space to work. Laundry room is available. Stuffs were also nice and kind.

Public bathroom was not really clean. There is no kitchen space, so you can’t have kettle or microwave in this hostel. It’s really noisy outside. (but this might be normal because the hostel located face to a busy to and a huge station.) If you are sensitive to noise, you should keep that in mind.

Upon arrival, the convenience of Kabannas’ location immediately struck me. Nestled right across fromSt Pancras International station, it was a breeze to get there after my train journey. The hostel’s exterior was unassuming, but stepping inside, I was greeted by a warm, quiet atmosphere that promised a comfortable stay. The check-in process was smooth, with friendly staff who were quick to provide information about the hostel’s amenities. The staff member did all he could to make my stay as comfortable as possible, even allowing me to pick a top or bottom bunk preference. My room was clean. The bed was comfortable enough, and I had a good night’s sleep. The shower facilities were maintained to a high standard, a refreshing way to start the day. While the lack of a self-catering kitchen was noted, the cafe-bar on the premises offered a variety of meals and snacks that were both convenient and tasty. The pizza I ordered was cooked in a stone oven and tasted incredible. The breakfast the following morning was tasty.

There were no croissants at the breakfast buffet. When I mentioned this to the staff member in the morning at the check-in desk (a different staff member to the accommodating ones to the night before who checked me in) he said, “Sometimes we run out, and when we do that’s it.” There were croissants available at the cafe-bar area, but he refused to give me one saying, “You can either eat at the buffet or the bar, not both.” I thought this was harsh over one croissant, even though this was promised to me at the breakfast buffet in the morning.

Very close to King's Cross and the Underground, easy to get anywhere. Restaurants and pubs around. The rooms are spacious, there's place to put your luggage near the bed.

Maintenance doesn't seem to be their strong suit. Light stopped working in our bathroom, staff said maintenance was only coming in 2 days (fortunately it fixed itself). I had read comments a month ago about one of the lifts being broken, I assumed it would be fixed when I would get there. It wasn't. They charge you 3£ to keep your luggage before check-in. First time I see this in years of travel! The pillows are too thin. They could provide some kind of bath mat so we don't put water everywhere in the bathroom when someone showers.

Staff were petty nice and in great moods considering I'm pretty sure I saw one dude there for at least 12 hours. Stuff in reception was actually all pretty cheap, towels were only 3 pound and hair dryers were avaliable at the desk. Was also pretty convient to sit at during the day while inbetween activities. Incredibly close to King's Cross.

Other than the usual problem with sharing a room with 5 other people it was okay, most people were considerate while coming and going all things considered. Was incredibly hot during the summer even with a standing fan in the room, make sure you have light clothing packed so you can sleep on top if going in the summer. Road is nearby and is busy at night so make sure you have some way of coping with the noises.

Friendly helpful staff and good location convenient for transport links and food outlets. Ample under bed storage space in the room (Although having just four coat hooks in a six bed room doesn't really work, lol) The fact that they were so efficient in keeping the rooms clean and tidy. The fact that they now have a microwave that you can use (Just need people to clean it after they've used it)

Guests!!, had one thought it was perfectly ok to use their phone at 3:30am the first morning and 4:00am the next (Even though reception had had a word with them). Who comes out of the shower and leaves it running?, had someone in the room do it🙄.

Location is key, and this place has it. It has 2 train stations in from of it, and a bus station too. Also easy check in and check out, they offer hair dryers, towels for 4 pounds which I see good, and the food is good. The bathroom is good, there’s a bathroom per room, so 6 people sharing it is good. Never had to wait to shower or anything. Lockers are excellent, within the room (bring your own lock) WiFi runs smooth, and after all great place to stay. I would go back.

I may get a little bit cold for whoever is sleeping near the windows, but staff is friendly and can switch beds if available.

Great location, very clean, free laundry service and the bar has in its menu home made pizza, so that was my dinner, it was delicious!!

The African American big corpulent lady that helped at the front desk/ reception, sometimes she used to go to the TV Lounge area and she screamed at the guy named Jorge helping with the breakfast, she did that in front of us guests almost every morning while we were having breakfast. She was very rude to him and I don’t understand why. That to me is very unprofessional, unethical, unbelievably wrong and she shouldn’t be working there. Her attitude is very hostile. Also, that says a lot about the manager.. Why would you allow this to happen? that is the only thing I noticed and didn’t like. And I wouldn’t come back because of that. I just wanted to have my breakfast in silence at peace, but she repeatedly did that and annoyed all of us.
