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.

The Hostel exceeded all my expectations. It was cozy, roomy and had lots of artistic interior design choices that made me feel in awe of the building itself and I wish I had more time to explore the hostel itself. The beds were very comfy, which was a big surprise to me and the bunk beds were well spread apart giving enough room. There were also separate free lockers in the basement of the building, which needs a code from the reception. The staff were very helpful and nice and the breakfast was also generous, especially with the time for late risers. The Toilettes and bathrooms are outside of the rooms (so don't forget you key card) but provided enough privacy as the showers were in different locked stalls and toilettes were separate (that was the 3rd floor).

I really liked the activities! Such as the karaoke night! You can meet new people here really easily en they offer a lot of different activities. The people at the desk are also really helpful and you have everything you need af the hostel. You van also warm up your own food, there is a nice seating area and there’s also a bar. Right across the street is a 24/7 supermarket so that’s also really convenient. I also felt really safe as a woman around the hostel. I really recommend this hostel especially for young (solo) travellers!

First of all, I’d like to thank the hostel management and all the staff for kindly accommodating a special request I had. A special thanks goes to Janne at the reception (I hope I’m spelling the name correctly) for being so helpful and attentive — I really appreciated the support. A small note for future guests: if you’re planning to stay in a shared dorm and have asthma, allergies, or similar health conditions, be aware that the rooms can feel stuffy due to the lack of air conditioning and the number of people inside. Other than that, it’s a safe, comfortable, and pleasant hostel. The beds were very comfortable. I’d definitely recommend it.

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.
