Can't really say. They were quite rude in answering inquiries so decided not to push through. I still got charged though. Oh well. Perhaps not suited for me.

First time solo travelling and staying at a hostel and im so happy I chose the Circus. Super convenient location (right across from trams and subway) so getting there from the airport was the easiest thing ever! Friendly staff and nice clean rooms, beds were so big and comfortable and the shared toilets/showers were always looking and smelling clean. Chilled atmosphere and they host daily nightly activities to help you mingle with our travellers. Overall I loved this place and would 100% stay again next time I visit 😊💕

This was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, at this price, it's unbeatable. They have free lockers, which are hardly available in any European countries at the moment. And they have multiple toilets and they are really clean. And if I talk about the location it is unbelievable, just outside of the hostel. It’s 10/10

Every day, there are events you can attend to meet more people. They also have a great public area where everyone can use a laptop, which is quite good. However, I stayed for five days, and on the first day, my locker broke. They promised they would fix it the next day, but they didn't. So, I had to put my suitcase in the basement for the other four days. (The basement has a secure, automatic luggage storage system with individual cabinets, which is good.) Overall, it was a good experience to stay there!

Very good location. It's a 2min walk from the station. The staff were very helpful and friendly. This is a well kept Hostel. There were cleaners there on a daily basis. The 8 bed dorm I slept in was clean and comfortable. The only downside in the room is the plug socket by your bed, it's behind a small shelf with a door and you can't shut it when you charge your phone. The breakfast is a buffet for roughly €10 but is not worth paying, you get some bread, cheese, ham, apple slices, yoghurt and muesli. There are better offerings in some of the local bakeries. There is a bar downstairs that serves the beer that is brewed on-site, this was a nice touch. Overall it was a very pleasant place to stay.

I really enjoyed staying in The Circus Hostel. The location was great. I could easily access to main tourist places and also to central train station. I’d like to stay here next time:)

As soon as w you walk in, you know this accommodation has a vibe! The luggage super cool, easy to operate, and free! They even have showers if somebody strolls up stinky before they can check-in. The room was good and the shared bathroom was better than I expected to be honest. The cafe attached had a great meal called ‘The Local’. They even had a guide where to watch matches since I was in town for the 2025 European cup! The only downside was my window faced the courtyard where they sort everyone’s beer bottles in the morning from the night before.

One of my favorite hostels because the beds are cozy and offer a bit of privacy. The design of the whole place is very modern and nice. You can store your luggage for free in the cellar with a modern and secure system. There is also somewhat of a mini-shrine of David Hasselhoff in that cellar and in the beds themselves- that cracks me up every time I stay there ;)
They are environmentally conscious and sell you glass bottles of water, which I think is great and tastes better. It’s superclean.
Across the street you have „Späti“. It’s paradise for people with allergies: there is a gluten free bakery close by that will make your dreams come true. Also, the pizzeria „Lovebirds“ offers a killer gluten free pizza. In St. Oberholz you can sit all day with excellent internet, in good company and work with your computer.
It’s right at a metro station ( Rosenthaler Platz ) and you can go directly and quick to the Alexanderplatz (radio tower).

It was a convenient location with the U-Bahn and tram station right in front of it, a lot of restaurants nearby too. The room looked clean but had a constant smell of wet clothes that were not drying, not sure if it was from some else’s clothes, just very unpleasant. Other than that the shower and toilets were clean, and the staff was super helpful to provide 1-time body wash since I forgot to bring my own.
