The 6-person dorm I stayed in was very spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The location of the hostel is great, with easy access to public transit, lots of places to eat, and walking distance to certain attractions. I liked that secure storage outside of the dorm room was provided free of charge.

Do not store valuables in the lockers in the rooms. These units should be replaced... it wouldn't take much for someone to simply unscrew both ends to access your things if they really wanted to. There are no women only showers. Men urinate in the showers, and the smell and hygiene are disgusting. There are no paper towels in the washrooms, and the hand dryer is obscenely loud.

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).

You need to bring a big padlock for the locker in the room and it can be loud when opening the windows to let fresh air inside and I had some issues with my bed socket and I wish the beds had curtains for more privacy.

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.

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!!

Loved staying in the 10 bed dorm, definitely depends on who’s in the room with you but with 10 beds you have heaps of chances to meet great people to hangout with. the staff were very nice and helpful when we asked questions, great to talk to in general. location was asp so great, lots of food places, some open until late (5am) so great for after going out, also there is a tram stop right outside the building, as well as one right around the corner so super easy to get places although my stay i didn’t go to any of the hostel events i did love that they had things going on every night, if i had one more night i 100% would’ve gone, they looked fun

Only thing i didn’t like were the shared unisex showers for a whole floor, they were dirty and often had things left behind in them. also the shower pressure is strangely high so it’s hard to not get your hair or clothes wet ahah. wasn’t actually crazy bad, was fine it did the job, still would 100% recommend coming here

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.

If you don't bring a towel, you can get one from the front desk... for 2 euro. Just give the people towels, come on now.

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

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.

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.

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.
