to get started.

Loved how well maintained it was. Also loved how secure it was - quite unlike many hostels across Europe.

Well located near transit options and lots of cafes and restaurants. Fairly walkable to many sights. Beds are comfortable and bedding is nice. Good showers. Quiet in rooms at night and windows cancel out street noise super well. Nicely priced buffet breakfast with lots of options. Comfortable lobby and helpful staff. Easily one of the better large hostels in Europe.

Perfect location - great staff - very clean, comfortable and felt very secure. Wonderful little coffee shop in the building and lots of eateries nearby. Museums close and subways close.

First of all, the location is perfect. It has bus and tram stops right across there street, and a metro station next to the hostel. The design of a hostel is very modern and beautiful. The staff was super helpful and friendly! The breakfast (+5€), bar (by the way, you get a small glass of beer for free) - all were good. Definitely recommend!

Everything is so clean and the 8beds room is super spacious! There’re lots of restaurants and shops around there.

The moment I arrived at The Circus Hostel I felt welcome! I was early but my room was ready, spacious and clean. The other guests in the room were super polite and friendly. The Circus Cafe was one of my favorite spots while visiting Berlin. I can happily say I’d visit The Circus Hostel again!! Best place for solo travelers!! The bar on the bottom floor was never too loud which was great - you couldn’t even hear it unless you were near the entrance by the cafe.

This is by far one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in! Extremely clean and modern; clean toilets and showers (the shower rooms are unisex but I never saw anyone else in there while I was in there); cafe onsite; brewery onsite; great breakfast for 5 Euros; storage room downstairs if you need to store extra stuff that doesn't fit in the locker next to your bed. The beds were comfortable; AMAZING location a stone's throw away from Rosenthaler Platz metro; amazing location in Mitte. I loved this place and would 100% stay there again. I met some amazing life long friends here and enjoyed the karaoke and trivia nights they put on! Highly recommended!

“Nice, clean and comfortable”

It wasn't really the hostels fault, but 2 guys in my room were snoring really loudly at night and one of them also often slept during the day. This meant that it was hard to get a good nights sleep, even with earbuds, and that it was difficult to be able to do anything in the room during the day(even unpacking etc). Those were the only negatives, though!
The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of bathrooms and the staff were friendly. I got to store my lugage before checking in. I met some really nice people there and will definitely be coming back!

The staff at Circus were so kind and helpful. They had great advice for all my questions. The microbrewery and the hostel events are a great way to meet people as well. The hostel rooms are spacious and each bed has a bed head that gives it a little bit of privacy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Mostly some simple maintenance issues: door to patio needs door closure and self latching handle. Every time someone uses it to go outside it stays open until the person working the front desk comes to close it. Lacks German efficiency and precision engineering. Door handle in dorm room fell off several times. Set screws are probably just worn out from retightening and need to be replaced. USB charger on my bunk was not functioning and did not get repaired during my stay. Hostel itself is top notch though.
Well located near transit options and lots of cafes and restaurants. Fairly walkable to many sights. Beds are comfortable and bedding is nice. Good showers. Quiet in rooms at night and windows cancel out street noise super well. Nicely priced buffet breakfast with lots of options. Comfortable lobby and helpful staff.

There is no kitchen, usually people traveling in hostels want to cook something. And it is not even allowed to eat in the lobby area. Despite of this, I give 10 as well.
The best thing about this hostel is the size of theirs rooms. From one bed to the other there is an enormous space that you don’t find in any other hostel. It is right beside the metro station. The toilets are amazing and clean. And another good point is the safety. For you to reach your bedroom you must use the keycard three times! First in the ascensor, second a glass dor in the main hall and eventually the bedroom’s door. I highly recommend it! The cafe that they have attached to the hostel is very good as well.

The door of the room is so loud. Especially the electric sound when people open the key. Every time unnccesary Lound sound made everyone wake up during the night, so I basically could not sleep whole night. As people go and come for toilet etc. And I want a bit more privacy in room 213. Room 212 was better.
Bed was nice size. Toilet was clean. Some Stuff(especially the guy 26th evening) was nice. Helpful.

“Not worth its rating, but fair location”

Our key-cards, during the course of one day and a half, stopped working three times, forcing us to constantly go to reception. Bathrooms and overall cleanliness wasn't great. When people walked in our room (10-people room) the beds would shake with vibration. Short bed and huge pillow. Robbery during the night to two people (thankfully my group wasn't affected by it). Our check-in process was "have the key-cards" and that's it - no explanation whatsoever how everything works or what's available at the hostel (other staff member, on the other hand, were great and helpful).
Good location, central and close to the ubahn.
