Excellent accommodation with an unbeatable location. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms and showers were spotless. The café next door, where breakfast is served, has varied and very delicious options. The bar below, where they serve locally produced beer, is a great space for drinks and socializing. Special shout out to Renee, who runs the bar and plays international music so we all feel like we belong.

We hesitated a little bit before choosing a hostel since we are not that young anymore. We were in Germany to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. But we like young peoples and lively places so we booked a studio on the 5th floor.  …

I recently stayed at Circus Hostel in Berlin to celebrate my birthday, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the entire place was. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for travelers.The location couldn't be better—just a stone's throw from the metro, which made exploring the city super convenient. The hostel also offers a fantastic range of events and guided tours, which added so much fun to my trip. I loved how the staff was always eager to help, and their friendliness made me feel right at home.I appreciated the private lockers for security, and the lounge area was a great place to relax and meet fellow travelers. Plus, the on-site café served delicious food and drinks at very affordable prices.Overall, Circus Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to experience Berlin in a comfortable and enjoyable setting. I’ll definitely be back!

Great experience with your own apartment as a penthouse on the roof of the hostel.Everything was super clean and well equipped, better than some holiday apartments!The location is optimal.The louder, young people tend to be on the lower floors :) upstairs it was wonderfully private and quiet.Only criticism: heating cannot be regulated, pillows are too high and hard!But I would definitely book again☺️
