The Circus Hostel, Berlin

amazing lovely staff had abit too much to drink and they were really helpful for me and i’m grateful for the help and kindness

Just small problem was that the pillow in the bed was really big and was not comfortable. They should change them

Its a big house with many rooms, i guess they weren't all booked so i was in the room alone or with one other. It had decent showers and toilets

The outside noise kind of gets in, but just be sure to wear earplugs to bed and you'll be alright

Strategic location, very clean, cosy, comfortable and nice vibe

I could not sleep well because when the door opens and closes it has a beep that kept me from falling sleep when other come and go. Also a lot of noise from the outside.

High quality property and rooms

No kitchen

The Circus hostel is located in the heart of Berlin City.. All historical places are on walking distance from the hostel. The Circus Hostel staff was very cooperative and friendly.

Thought Circus Hostel is at a major transport connection, the rooms are completely quiet. Everything is very clean. Lockers are large.

I liked everything, including the Rosie Cafe. I didn't use the bar much, but it's own-brewed beer was tasty, and the place seemed very popular.

Clean and comfortable. Good Christmas Day event — this was much appreciated. Good atmosphere, especially the onsite bar. Places to put things around the bed and while using shower etc.

No power outlet around bed — only USB outlet. Breakfast consisted of a not especially nice sandwich and a coffee from the cafe, no buffet, and was only good value if you have room for 2 sandwiches. No laundry facilities.

I liked that we were given a coupon to sample the beer in the bar and that there are different activities every night for people to join.

The bunk beds did not have curtains, so when I checked in late at night, I had to turn on the light and it disturbed some roommates that were already sleeping

The staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are well-organized. Last but not least, free lockers on the lower floor and a complimentary beer :)

The beds could have a curtain, for more privacy.

Location is good, pretty central to most things. The bar is also fun. Complimentary beer tester available on arrival.

The sound sealing isn't great in the rooms so if you are sensitive to noise beware.

Great place, lovely bar, location good!

The bathroom wasn't the best ever, a bit oldish and quite far from the bedroom. The bed would be better with a curtain for more privacy

Full-fledged apartment in the centre of Berlin, at a convenient crossroads of many roads. 10 minutes by car to the train station, metro and tram lines on the side, supermarkets within walking distance. The kitchen had everything we needed even for a long term stay. Clean, quiet. There is delicious coffee on the ground floor. We enjoyed it all!

Great location, excellent if youre a solo traveller. Youll also meet people there that are also travelling. Lockers are available all the time. The little museum about David Hasselhoff is interesting to see and learn about. There are karaoke and bar nights every evening after 6PM and also a cafe open all the time in the morning- so the place is quite comfortable.

Sometimes the sharing room was smelly.

Very friendly and helpful staff - you can borrow almost everything from the reception! Nice and clean facilities. Reasonable size of room. Comfortable heating.

The door of my room was always stuck in the middle while opening and we had to push it really hard. The noise affected the sleep of travellers next to the door. I hope this issue can be solved.

I expected a big city central hostel to be rather anonymous and "formal", but boy, was I wrong! The vibe in the Circus hostel was absolutely amazing, and the staff always smiling and super helpful. They offered coffee, gave advice on what to wear to different clubs, and truly walked an extra mile for the safety of the guests and their belongings. They have a special room with code lockers, also lockers in the dorm rooms, and an additional safe at the reception if needed. Downstairs there is a bar which is a great opportunity to meet other travellers. The lobby is also great to socialize and/or work on your laptop. The U-Bahn stop is just in front of the hostel, so it is easy to get anywhere in the city, but many sightseeing spots are close enough to walk to them.

Great location. Friendly front desk. Lively lobby.

Bed could be better. I got a single room.

Location, cleanliness was great.

Very good location. Excellent cleaning Excellent Employees Clean bathrooms (several)

There's no kitchen, they spent so much on the decoration (which is beautiful) and didn't build a kitchen. Or a space with a microwave, tables. Thus, it would be used for socializing and for eating. Many times I had to (and others) have to eat in the room. There is only one common space, which is the bar... but not everyone drinks, so another space for socializing would be nice. The rostel also felt very cold... only in the rooms did I realize that the heaters were on. A lot of people were sick, had the flu... I think that was why too. It was hot in the room, went out into the bathroom or hallway - cold. I noticed that guests in my room got the flu because of this.

The location of this place is great. It is right the opposite of subway which was a great point of this hostel. There are couple are restaurants, stores, shops very close to the hostel. Also supermarket right the opposite of the hostel. I would say 10 out of 10 for location. Also even by around 45 minutes walk you can go sightseeing which is quite close and good to stroll in the city.

The mattress was not comfortable at all. Also it would have been great if the plugs were close to each bed. The other thing the place needs a separate area for people who wanna work.

It was a fun and great hostel! I loved that the toilets and showers were outside of the rooms.

The location is good. The rosenthaler platz U bahn and Metro station is literally next to it. There is a späti opposite to the hostel to keep you covered for late night outs and last minute buys. The staff were good and they also organise activities from time to time as well. The rooms were quite big and the beds were really comfortable. Overall not a bad place to stay and good value for money since it is quite accessible.

Here I would like to talk about the design of the room. I have travelled solo a lot and lived in a lot of different hostels. Two things were quite strange about the room. So I was living in an 8 bed mixed dorm - 4 beds on each side. On opposite sides there are two wardrobes which are completely covered on the surface with mirror on it so basically whatever you are doing can be seen by everyone in the room. I am not sure why the whole wardrobe needed to be mirrorred so heavily - a small mirror on it would be sufficient for dressing up or one can use the toilet mirrors. This was a little bit annoying. The second thing was the charging point. I took a bed on the top and the charging points are on the bottom next to the bottom bed - I have never seen a hostel with such a inconvenient design. So I cannot take my phone to my bed and keep it on the floor when I am charging. Keep a USB cable there was a USB plug next to the bed - i have a normal charger not a USB so I had to go down the bed and charge my phone every time which is very troublesome.

Most of things I like clean. Hostel is very clean . And staff is pretty nice and helpful.

Everything was exceptional.

Old school building

Good location with underground, tram and bus within a lively neighborhood. Room is spacious and well-designed. The shower room is among the best I’ve encountered in hostels, for it has enough space and hooks and the water pressure is great. The locker room is free and easy to use. There’s always coffee, snacks and fruits. And they even have a brewery and the lager is pretty nice. Also good value to money!

Can’t think of any.

Convenient to get to. All doors have electronic card locks, and coffee is available anytime. I was satisfied with this place. If I need another stay in Berlin, I know where to go.

"I had a wonderful stay at this location, perfectly situated near Alexanderplatz. It’s just two subway stops away or a short walk, making it super convenient. The area is right in the heart of Berlin, with a safe and vibrant neighborhood offering plenty of food options and shops. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any questions. I stayed in a private room, which was a great size for a solo traveler. The room was minimalistic, clean, and thoughtfully designed. One of the highlights was the bar on the ground floor—a cozy space where you can relax and enjoy your time without the need to go out. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin!"

Very cute atmosphere, in the middle of the City. Really makes yoj feel home! Staff took care of all my needs!

Very good location and a quite good option for this price

There were no hairdryers, shampoo or shower gel at all. Common places were renovated at the time so it was a bit frustrating at times

Everything very clean and good structure!

Nothing to say

Everything

Elevatior was always error :))

Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, good location!

Staff goes above and beyond. Rooms, bathrooms and hostel are very modern and well maintained.

No kitchen available.

The hostel is in an excellent location, with a tram and underground stop right in front. It is also very clean and functional, with super-efficient, friendly, and helpful staff. You can use the lockers to store your suitcase or backpack free of charge. Additionally, there’s a lovely pub downstairs where you can enjoy great beer or other alcoholic beverages without needing to go out if you don’t feel like it. I really enjoyed staying there.

N/A

Central

As a woman traveling solo I was intrigued by the unisex showers, but the solution was very well thought of and the cabin gave me complete privacy for my daily showers. The breakfast was very good!

The mechanisms that ensure doors are always closed is very loud, and with the comings and goings of guests on the hallway it can be annoying and wake you up from your sleep.

Everything is very good

A little bit loudy

Super clean premises, very comfy bed. Location is great as mostly everything is within walking distance. Staff is very friendly. They also provide lockers for checking in your luggage, which is an additional bonus. There's an excellent bar downstairs. Watching René make signature drinks was one of the highlights of my stay.

I wish they provided a drinking water station near the reception.

Great vibe and introduced guests to each other through events. Clean rooms, bathrooms and showers. Beds comfy with privacy

Nothing

Remarkably quiet, clean, good location, nice aesthetic, affordable.

I didn't use the facilities widely so can't comment.

Location is great! I've stayed here a few times and always enjoy my stay.

This time the room was a little strange and harder to navigate with mobility issues. A lot of the restrooms on our floor weren't working, which meant I had to go to another floor and again, that is hard with mobility issues.

The staff is very kind and helpful The rooms,toilets and shower areas are so clean. Also having a bar and a cafe inside the hostel is really great. The hostel's location is the near the tram and metro line and it makes you feel comfortable and you can reach the famous and historical places by walking 15-20 minutes(Alexanderplatz,Holocaust Memorial,Reichstag,Brandenburger Tor,Tiegarten,Museuminsel vs..)Finaller this is the Best hostel I have ever stayed.Thanks for everything.

A bit noisy cause of the tram and the People outside.

Location is great. Many attractions are around. The lobby and cafe downstairs are quite usable, I was able to use it for hours for learning and work. Breakfasts are average to good and include everything I need.

Sleeping places are lacking power outlets inside them, also hair dryers in a bathroom could be quite usable. The building is right on the tram intersection and might be quite noisy in the late evening for some, but I adapted after the first night.

Yes

location, apartment and everything

Nothing

the breakfast was nice, room was clean and spacious, the chill area next to the reception is very cozy and comfy.

there is nothing to be done about, just the location is really crowded,, so you can't open the window during the night :) and also the drain in showers in 4th floor smelled a lot even though the shower was clean.

Everything

The location is top notch. Super clean and hygienic

location and in budget
