We have been travelling for 6weeks now in hostels and circus has been the best yet! Local is great, close to the trains and trams, great food places around (especially as breakfast is not included here like many good hotels!). Staff were friendly, bar doesn't open until 9pm but that's just Berlin! Can easily buy drinks from reception, beds were... More

This hostel is amazing, it's clean comfortable and in a great location. The rooms were immaculate and to be honest better than some B & B's around the world. The staff were friendly and helpful, there is a bar and cafe in the hostel which are great value. Public transport is on your door step if you want to travel... More

The Circus Hostel has hit it out of the park as far as hostels go. As a solo traveler, I mainly just look for location and don't rely too much on a nice, comfortable room. Well, the Circus had both a great location and comfortable, clean and nice rooms and amenities! Also, another rarity that the Circus had was nice,... More

Circus hostel Berlin, I must start by saying that this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. There is a scale that can be used to rate hostels as they vary from high to low as far as comfort, quality, price, and location. This for me rated very high, the location was perfect, at least 20 eateries within... More

Very nice hostel, clean, spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, easy to get everywhere, public transport right in front, perfect breakfast options in the cafe downstairs. Not many hostels could compare to this one. Little minus - they charge 2.00 € fee for payment by card...

As many others have posted the location is great and the hostel is really well-equipped, with great key card security and lots of little extras in the room like coathangers, bedside lamps, safe (with powerpoint in it), full length mirror and towel hook. You can rent towels for 1€. Free wifi with good signal and computers (paid) downstairs if you... More

This hostel was a great place to stay. Very clean, and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Bathrooms are spacious and clean, and the private double room was quite large. The bar downstairs is a great place for drinks and meeting people. Breakfast is not included, but they have a phenomenal all-you-can-eat buffet + coffee or tea for €5.... More

Hostel was the best we've stayed in. Really clean, great security with a key card you have to use to go anywhere. Awesome location, right by the best shopping and close to good restaurants and nightlife. Handy to the underground and easy to reach from airport. Rooms are pretty sterile, but have everything you need. Staff were really friendly.

In a city filled with incredible hostels, Circus stands as the best. The rooms are bright and spacy with high ceilings, and very clean. The table in the middle of all the rooms is convenient for drinking with your roomies or eating food, surfing the free internet, etc. There are cheap beers at reception for when you check in, at...
