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.

Smooth check-in, clean facilities and excellent location. It's a perfect place for a solo traveler, less than 5 min. walk from St. Pancras Station and across the street from the British Library. You can rent a towel for £3 and there are storage lockers under every bed, so bring your own padlock.

Only one downside: it was very hot in the room (beginning of August), so we had to keep the window open, which meant we could hear the busy street well into the night. Don't forget your earplugs!

Comfortable accommodation, super clean, quiet despite being on a very busy main road, friendly, cheerful and helpful staff- great location for transport too

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.

Kabannas is really well located, which means it's super convenient to get around central London and surrounding areas. The staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. Some noise from the street is to be expected (it's central London, after all!) but that means we had an amazing view of St Pancras from our dorm window!

Through no fault of the hostel, there was an individual in our dorm that left the room dirty and untidy which was a shame! However, the cleaning staff did a great job of tidying and cleaning up the room afterward this person had left. The shower could do with an update as the drain in the shower itself was really slow and so it became more of a wet room than a bathroom.

✔️ Helpful and friendly staff ✔️ having a private bathroom in the female dorm was a huge plus ✔️ lift going to all the floors. This may seem minor but after a full day of travelling it’s a game changer to not have to carry bags up 5 flights of stairs.

⭕️ Towels not included- you have to pay extra. I find this a bit sneaky, considering no one travels with a towel so you’re forced to pay the extra £3. I feel that this should be included in the overnight fee. ⭕️ it would have been nice if there was a little kitchenette to make tea/coffee with a microwave to warm food up. But there is only the option to buy meals or coffee at the restaurant- not to make your own.

Didn´t have breakfast but overall it was a pleasant experience. It is located just few minutes by walk from Easton/St.Pancras station which has a great connection to both Luton and Stansted airport and to city centre as well. We had private room with shared bathroom - there are two (smaller and bigger one) on (I suppose) each floor - bathrooms were mostly not occupied. Room is small but fine for couple of nights considering the price.

Beds could be more comfortable. It was bearable but they were "creaking" which was a little bit annoying. But it didn´t spoil a very good experience.

I felt a little apprehensive to start with, however I went in and asked for help. It felt good to have staff available 24/7 the main door could be got into my buzzer or card, plus a second door up to the rooms so it felt comfortable and secure. There was a cafe down stairs either really helpful staff. All you can eat breakfast was £6 However I chose The raisin swirls and coffee from the cafe which was perfect for breakfast. And delicious. Lovely coffee too and such kind polite, friendly and helpful staff. There was a lovely soft duvet and a comfy bed, each bed had a plug and light next to it. So near the station and simple to book. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. A mixture of ages and couples as well as solo travellers. I would definitely go there again.

The steps to the top bunk were a bit tight. However the bed was really comfortable.

The + : - the location: right in front of the British Library (really nice, by the way) - having a bathroom in the dorm (and stuff to put your things on in the shower, really handy but some hostels don't have anything so you have to put your stuff on the floor / also good pressure in the shower) - outlets, and USB ports + a nest to put your stuff in and a lamp - really big lockers in the dorm, that easily fit a pretty big backpack - a very spacious dorm - nice staff I recommend this hostel!

The - : - I had a bed next to the window and Euston street is a pretty busy place so it was a bit noisy - there could be a bath mat or something because there is quickly water everywhere next to the shower - having to pay 2 pounds to store your luggage on your departure day

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.
