The Circus Hostel, Berlin

Nice and welcoming staff. Great location and a confortable place to stay.

The best hostel i ever stayed in. Clean, comfy, central location.

Nothing much to complain

Clean and great staff.

A little noisy at night with trolley traffic.

Tram stop just 2 minutes away. Free luggage storage was a big plus. The hostel has elevators, so no hassle with heavy bags. Bathrooms and toilets are shared per floor but kept clean. The staff were friendly, spoke good English, and made check-in easy. Plenty of cafes and food options nearby. Overall, a convenient and value-for-money stay!

Good vibes:)

The room is really spacious and comfortable. The whole hostel is very clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The luggage storage service is really nice and convenient.

Areas, Location, Beds, Facilities, Service…everything was great. Best hostel in my Eurotrip.

Everything was great

It was very clean and neat and organised

Sadly no kitchen, not even a kettle or microwave so you could only get help from the cafe if it was open

The karaoke night every Thursday, it was fun! Of course the staffs, friendly and helpful. Also, the bartenders too!

The beds and the view from window, plus it was very central and had lovely area full of coffee shops

Can't complain

Clean, not too loud, great location

Not cheap but not expensive either

The bedside plug wasn’t a regular socket - it was a USB-A plug. So because I only had USB-C plugs, I couldn’t charge at night

Great central location with many bars, restaurants and shops close by. Clean facilities and comfortable bed. Great bar in the hostel good for socialising, karaoke night was fun. Would stay again.

Wasn’t any soap in the bathroom dispenser.

The room was comfortable, the hostel had guided tours around the city and the staff were friendly. Had a baggage storage which was convenient to use.

Good comfy beds. There is a lounge, bar and restaurant at the property and it was good.

For breakfast you have to give the coupon at the ground floor where u get plates and coffee but the buffet is in the basement where the bar is.

The location, prize, cleaniliness, the locker facility , the helpfulness of staff, a very good breakfast for an affordable prize

It was my second time in Berlin and based on my previous stay, I didn’t hesitate to book again. Reception works 7/24 and people are always kind. I’m almost 30 now and I really don’t like loud noises anymore (and I guess have lower tolerance for late night parties) but the guests were mostly adults and rooms / spaces are soundproofed. Rooms are clean and secure and I love how comfortable their beds are. I have never tried Rosie’s breakfast but seems nice. There’s a bar downstairs and they give you one free beer, however I think the price range is high. Location is excellent! 15 mins walking to Alexanderplatz, very close to main streets (wanna drink a coffee at Hackesche Hofe? Just walk 11 mins and you’re there). There are also tram and u-bahn stations (rosenthaler platz) just in front of the hostel building. If I ever visit Berlin again, I’ll be there as always. Thanks for everything.

Reception

Nothing

Great location, cozy bed, and friendly staff I would definitely recommend this hostel

The staff is very kind and helpful. The bathrooms and toilets are separate.

Nothing to add. Just the made should clean at least the floor every day please. Just buy a lock in time before someone of your roommates doesn't steal your stuff which actually happened to me. No one to blame, that was my fault.

Would thoroughly recommend this hostel to any traveller coming to Berlin. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, more than happy to help and answer any questions I had. There is a good secure luggage room which was helpful storing my bag prior to check in. Hostel felt very secure and safe with the keycard access and staff there 24/7. The location of the hostel is fantastic, U-Bahn immediately outside the hostel so really easy to get around Berlin. Lots of nice shops, bars and restaurants all within the area and only a 15 minute walk to alexanderplatz. The bedrooms itself are nice and spacious, good sized lockers for bags. however they do not already come with a lock so you can either bring your own or reception sell them for €6. Nice events on that are different each night which is a good way to meet other people. Both bedrooms and bathrooms always kept really well clean. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning next time I’m in Berlin :)

The only minor inconvenience (not the hostel’s fault!) was that because it’s on a main road it can get rather noisy, especially in the mornings. I’m a light sleeper so I would just recommend bringing earplugs if you would personally find it difficult to sleep. The curtains are not blackout so the room became quite bright very early so again didn’t have the soundest of sleeps but that is purely just down to my lack of being able to sleep like a log.

The room and facilities were clean, check in was very fast, and the location was great and very close to a variety of cafes, clubs, restaurants, as well as to the train lines which was super helpful.

There was nothing in particular that we did not like, except maybe that the window in the room did not open and the door to the balcony would sometimes jam.

Location is amazing and the amenities are great

The room was a bit noisy

Fantastic location, right next to the train & tram stations with great places to eat closeby.

Would highly recommend this hostel for any solo traveller because it is in Central Berlin, which means you don't need to get transport and the facilities in the hostel are amazing and they have a bar, which is great for meeting other solo travellers.

Exceptional place to stay in Berlin! The staff were very welcoming and knowledgable, our room (Double Deluxe 507) was exceptional - very quiet, sparkly clean, the bed was very, very comfortable and a superb balcony with views out over Berlin. The Breakfast option is a buffet, very plentiful, with delicious bread,ham,cheese,muesli,yoghurt and coffee. Easy to get to from the airport and right on the U Bahn and Tram stops. Also, there are some great places to eat right outside. This is the best place we have ever stayed in a European city and we will be back soon!

Nothing - this place is exceptional!!

I love the location (in front of a metro) and the security of the hostel (the first hostel with safe in the private room) Also the staff is class A, I had a flight canceled due to a strike and they kindly extended my booking until my new flight, also they were so nice that they gave us a souvenir that will simbolize our trip to Berlin for ever, I cannot think a better place to be in Berlin.

We couldn't find any hair dryer, It might be a good idea to make them available for guests.

Great, well maintained property. Very nice and clean inside, friendly staff. The bed was comfy in my opinion. Shame I didn't spend more time!

A few little things here and there: the locker by my desired bed could not be locked due to bad positioning of the little "loops", one of the bathrooms could use a space to sit down while changing/ somewhere to hang the clothes.

very clean, bed was comfortable

noisy at night on the shared bathroom floor

The location

The location! And the staff are very friendly :)

The entire hostel has a great character and the rooms were at a very good level for a hostel. The team were very up their game and seemed to enjoy being there which is refreshing.

The pillow were very big and not so comfortable. That would be my only recommendation.

Great stay, comfortable beds and plenty of showers and toilets, very clean. I have been in many hostels and the showers are spot on, with plenty of space and very good pressure. I loved the bar downstairs, great atmosphere. Really good location and all that needed. The USB plugs on the bunk bed didn't work and I was in upper bed so I could not charge my phone overnight. Staff friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and hope to come back. Danke schön :)

The personal was great and the beds were comfortable and provided some privacy (although I like a lot better when they have the curtain, but the space around the head was great for storage and privacy) There were enough WC and showers, and they were quite clean. The showers were large and had great water pressure and hot water, which is not something you get at every hostel)

The people were very loud in the corridors and the rooms and the isolation was bad so you could hear everything happening in the other rooms as well as the corridors, it sometimes woke me up or prevented me from falling asleep

Great location and really cool interior. Clean and free breakfast snacks and tea available at reception was a lovely touch.

The location is really amazing. In the heart of Mitte, I explored the neighborhood walking, photographing and eating in various restaurants. The hostel is super clean, and you get clean sheets. You can rent out towels for a fee. I stayed in 8 people mixed dorm and the room is spacious! They could have more luggage space, but you can leave your valuables in a safe at the reception free of charge. Everyone who works there is super lovely.

The cafe attached to the hostel is overpriced. I paid 13€ for grilled cheese. The girl working there was being passive-agressive for no reason (other than she woke up too early) which annoyed me. Plenty of nice cafes around so just skip this one.

The location is great and the friendly vibe of the people.

All

Nothing

The location was amazing. Anything I needed help with the staff had the answer. People at the hostel were friendly. I felt safe and it was clean. Even with a shared shower and toilet situation they were always clean and smelt fresh

Nothing

Excellent, cheap and good value

Male restrooms a fairly long walk from my dorm

Great location, friendly and helpful staff

No kitchen and have to have staff help you to access the fridge, but Berlin has tons of food close by

spacious rooms, the beds were really well displayed for privacy it’s close to public transportation connections and easy to get there.

It is very modern very clean and has a great location.

I got a top bed even though i asked for a bottom one with months of anticipation. Both ports to charge cellphones on my bed didn't work.

Great hostel. Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed, great location.

The pillow is not dense enough, the room was a bit noisy since the windows overlook a busy street - but not critical.

Clean, price/performance, lovely receptionists

No hair dryer

I enjoyed the location and how clean and comfortable the rooms were, but most importantly the David Hasselhoff imagery.

N/A - solid hostel probably the nicest I’ve stayed in

i liked it the central location of the hostel and the comfort of its beds.

None

I have stayed in the circus hostel numerous times over the years. I always associate berlin with the hostel and the perfect stay. It's in a fantastic location surrounded by cafes, restaurants and bars and the metro just outside the door. It's always spotless both the rooms and the shower rooms. And the staff are fantastic. Very friendly and always there to help. Will always come back to the circus

I liked the arrangement of the beds and the way one is able to get a little bit of privacy in there. It feels safe

Location

Toilets were not clean
