Great place to stay in Berlin, right in the center of town and well connected via public transportation. Also, very clean, great staff, and efficient check-in and check- out. Highly recommend this place!
The staff were great. Everything was clean and smooth sailing.
Even for a short trip, you’ll quickly get around and situated with nearby transit options.

Friendly staff, clean property, your location and comfy bed. Highly recommend. Downside was no privacy curtains and no power outlets in the bed... Otherwise a great stay
The staff were all kind and help me stay comfortably and have a good time in Berlin.
What caught my eye were the shower rooms and toilet because their cleanness was not enough for me.
Staff was amazing, rooms good and clean. Nice little bar downstairs. Literally a tram stop right out front and lots of bike and scooter options within meters.
Every time I stay at The Circus Hostel I have top notch service and care. The staff is so wonderful and so easygoing that it made our stay feel like hanging with old friends.
The bathrooms (2 stalls only for each sex) and the only shower in my area of the building was all gender and both were down a very long, windy set of corridors. NO cleaning facilities in the dorm room itself, not even a sink. Just 10 bunk beds lined up. My section of the hostel housed about 60 people. Both the limited bathrooms and the single shower were not even remotely acceptable for 60 people. I can't believe that these very limited personal cleaning facilities were acceptable under Berlin's Housing Codes. Great location, easily reachable by public transportation, but definitely noisy as there were places just outside open for 23 hours a day. The Staff was wonderful and tried to be helpful - but there were definitely limits. Would NOT recommend and would NOT stay there again. I was only there for one night (less than 15 hours) and would have moved if I were staying longer.
Almost everything was perfect with really nice and clean rooms/showers/toilets/lounge and comfy beds. The pillow provided was quite soft but still serviceable.

The staff is wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. I treated myself to a single room and had my own bathroom and a balcony with great views.
Very conveniently located, with the downside that it was exceedingly noisy at night. Room (slept in a shared dorm) was quite warm, and the bathroom facilities did not smell amazing, although they appeared clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and the building itself was quite nice, and I felt safe staying there.
Great location of Berlin, clean modern room, balcony for people watching. Only opportunity for improvement would be the temperature of the room (a little warm for sleeping).
