The Circus Hostel, Berlin

Very clean, comfortable bed, spacious room, enough hot water in the shower, good location close to public transportation, friendly helpful and welcoming staff

The central location, room was comfortable and shared bathrooms were very clean. Easy to meet others.

Nothing, it was all good :)

Room was spacious, clean and nice. Although windows are a bit low. Location is great. A lot of good restaurants near.

I didn't like that room doesn't have direct access to toilets. Toilets could be modernized. Also it's not that easy to meet new people.

Location was perfect

Bathrooms not so clean

Absolutely loved the place. The location is amazing and the facilities as well. The staff is really kind and helpful. There are so many bathrooms you will always find one free.

As soon as you open the windows there is a lot of noise coming in and there is no air conditioning. Even so, I stayed there in march and the temp inside was perfect! I was very unlucky with my roomates. In my room there was someone who stank terribly, but they were so kind to change my room. Too bad the second night I was sleeping next to a human jet engine lol. Of course this has nothing to do with the place, but just keep in mind that you will have to adjust, on the plus side you will meet so many friendly and interesting people.

The hotel was clean and the staff were great.

Good location, comfortable beds and still felt like I had privacy in the dorm room

The girl at reception was really friendly and helpful. She spent a lot of time just trying to find me the lower berth I wanted. Excellent staff, nice environment and friendly vibe.

The staff was incredibly nice

There are no curtains in the beds, which gives a good sense of privacy

The Circus was located quite well for a tourist visiting the city as it doesn't take long to get to main tourist areas and there is quite a lot of good food places so close by. We used public transport and there is both an underground and tram station right next to the hostel which is great for female travellers. The private room was a great idea for myself and my friend as we paid a good price for the 2 of us and had some privacy with no disturbances which is well needed on a trip with many locations (just know that it is a shared bathroom which is not an issue as they are really nice!). The staff were fantastic and the hostel puts a load of effort into organising trips and excursions for guests so be sure to look out at reception or speak to the staff.

The breakfast could be a little wider in terms of options for people. I am celiac and noticed that there was not much available for me so opted for breakfast near the Hostel instead. Also the lift does take a while to get you up and down to rooms and reception etc so just use the stairs!

Everything’s cleaned regularly and the staff is really friendly and helpful! Location is also great

It would be comfier if they added curtains to the beds

So clean and ordered

There is no hair dryer

The location was great. The staff were really helpful and nice. Breakfast was great. I had some time before taking my train back and there was a possibility to store my luggage for free very comfortably in a locker room. I enjoyed my stay. Pleasant. Nice atmosphere.

We were 6 people in a dormitory so in the morning, the room needed some fresh air badly as we couldn't leave the windows open due to the weather. I think there could be some better ventilation system in such a small room with so many people sleeping. But it was not really bad, it is just something that could be improved.

Clean and spacious rooms. The toilets are clean too and the heated water comes on fast. There’re plenty of cafes and restaurants all around the hostel.

The road facing rooms can get quite noisy from the traffic and people on the street if you open the windows for ventilation, else it is quite soundproof

Good breakfast for 10€. Amazing location

Unisex showers were kinda nasty

I was in a 8 bed room. It was spacious and the bed was comfortable except the pillow. The staff was very friendly.

The pillow was too big and soft. The outlet was in a little cupboard inside the bunk bed and I had to keep it open whilst charging which was very uncomfortable as there was little space to lie down. It was claustrophobic.

The price is very good!

You need to pay to have a padlock. Change this guys, charge more to stay at the bedroom and include the facilities.

Location, people, hostel workers, rooms

Big room and bathroom. Confort bed and clean hostel.

The breakfast could be included.

Super comfy bed, friendly staff, excellent location with the U Bahn right outside, and the whole design was very clean and stylish. It was exactly what we needed!

These are tiny things, but you could only get free tea or coffee when the cafe was closed in the early afternoon as we didn’t pay for breakfast which is a shame. It’d be nice to have a kettle in the private rooms. Also the sound proofing to the other rooms/corridor isn’t great.

I loved staying at The Circus. The hostel is clean, comfortable, very well decorated. THE BEST hostel bathroom and showers I’ve ever experienced. The staff is great. The cafe and the bar amazing! So worth the money and the time.

The only thing that wasn’t bad, but could be better was the mattress.

Bed was really comfortable for a hostel, the whole building was really funky vibes and I loved the David Hasselhoff exhibit downstairs.

Everything was great. If I’m being picky, it took longer than expected to check out as there was only one staff member on, but that’s about it.

Train station just downstairs. Staff was lovely

Non

The German fella at night behind the reception was a real pal, helped me a lot to sort out the transportation issue to Berlin airport(there was a strike), thanks lad, see ya next time .

The showers were very well designed. The beds were very comfortable and the room was super spacious with large mirrors. Great space for phone charging and easy access to personal things next to the bed.

The showers were being cleaned at peak times, so you had to go furher the corridor to find available showers. But really not a big deal, as because of it everthing was clean all the time.
