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.

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).

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.

I stayed in a 6-bed dorm, which was surprisingly clean and comfortable. Every day, I saw the staff cleaning the hallways, toilets, and showers, which really stood out. The bed and pillow were soft and cozy, and there were hot and cold showers available at all times. What I absolutely loved was how it was situated in the center of everything. The tram is literally five steps from the front door, and the subway is right across the street. There’s food everywhere — left and right — and the lobby has such a chic, welcoming vibe.

Nothing really that ruined my stay. But a little upgrade with bidet sprays in the toilets won’t hurt 😅

Check-in was easy, and reception is occupied 24/7. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was pretty clean for hostel-standards. Nice design and interior, with some lovely details and unique ideas. It's nice that they provide lockers in the dorms. The additional locker-room in the basement is well thought-out. The hostel-location is great and very walkable, with good access to public transport. It's a good option for 1-3 nights, but I don't think that the price is justified in any way.

Towels cost 3€ extra, which is insane, considering the overall high price. Suitable locks for the dorm-lockers cost also extra, and many lockers need some maintenance. Overall too expensive.

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!!

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 rooms can be stuffy and hot, especially since there’s no air conditioning

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.

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.
