The Circus Hostel

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.

I stayed in a 6-bed dorm, which was surprisingly clean and comfortable. Every day, I saw the staff cleaning the hallways, toilets, and showers, which really stood out. The bed and pillow were soft and cozy, and there were hot and cold showers available at all times. What I absolutely loved was how it was situated in the center of everything. The tram is literally five steps from the front door, and the subway is right across the street. There’s food everywhere — left and right — and the lobby has such a chic, welcoming vibe.

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!

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 Circus Hostel is a charmingly weird place with a brewpub in the basement and more David Hasselhoff than you're expecting. The breakfast buffet add-on is worth it, I think, and I'm not even a coffee drinker. If you're coming for the Berlin Marathon, it's pretty easy to get to the starting area from the hostel, and for your friends/family, the race goes right through the square at about the 9km mark, IIRC.
