The Circus Hostel

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Not really. But in lieu of actuql acrobats, the fun loving and energetic staff made sure that a stay at The Circus Hostel in Athens had all the best bits of a night at the fair.
Every night comes with a group activity — I highly recommend the spirit tasting. It quickly becomes a debaucheries night out in Gazi.
Many hostels go cheap and skimp on these things, which will lose them a star or two on any review I write.
The rooms are fantastic, amenities clean and functional and the bed was the softest in all of Europe. This was collaborated by a number of other guests.
Drinks are cheap at reception, but laundry is expensive. Shop around on that one.
Can’t beat location at The Circus — Acropolis views from the rooftop and you’re in the heart of the city.
At slightly more than your average hostel, I’d recommend Circus as a bit of a treat if you’ve got a few euro to spare.

Great value and great atmosphere! Who wouldn’t love a place that gave you ticket for a free sample of craft beer? Yes, there is a brewery in the basement and it is great for socializing with other travelers. Stayed in a 8 person and 3 person dorms and both were very spacious. Each bed has it’s own mini locker with an outlet inside which was very nice. Beds were comfortable. Exterior noise was a bit loud because the hostel is located at a 5-​way intersection, but tolerable. Plenty of food nearby. There is a nice café with reasonable prices on the same floor as the lobby. In the mornings, this café offers a breakfast for 5 €, which I believe is worth the price (however you only get one drink, then water after; no free refills of coffee, tea, or juice). They also have huge lockers in the basement that you can use with a 10 € deposit. You can use them all day and when you return the keys you get your deposit back. Awesome right?! Definitely one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had and would undoubtedly return if ever in Berlin. And do the free tour offered in the morning, definitely worth your time.

Awesome hostel. Stayed here two non consecutive nights and ended up getting bumped to a 3 bed room second time as they were quite full. All beds had small locker, light, and outlet which was awesone. Clean! Very very clean. Towel for a € 1. Breakfast for € 5. Nice helpful staff. Take the free tour of Berlin the Alexander. He works with Brewers Berlin Tours and is an excellent funny Canadian tour guide who’s lived in Berlin quite a while and knows it like a local. They have a brewery in the basement with delicious beer. They are right next to multiple tram lines and the metro. Does make it a bit loud at times unfortunately. Nice coffee bar with a restaurant. Outdoor seating. Best hostel I have stayed at in europe. Also doesn’t have a lot of people who seem to old for hostels like some other places I’ve been to seem to have. And the people who stay here are quite friendly! Met lots of new friends

Hier kommt man gut unter, sauber, stylisch und die pure Lust am Leben der Backpacker, in jeder Ecke zu spüren

What a great place! There are a few minor points here and there where they can improve, but otherwise this is a very nice place at a very good price. I stayed in the hotel last year, but decided on the hostel this year. The Hostel private room with a shared bathroom is light years better than the hotel across the street. Read on.
I got a single room with shared bathroom. I was a little afraid before arriving that the bed would be on the short side. It has a head and foot rail, but I was delighted that it’s about 7 feet long. No problem there.
A couple of points:
1. It’s not evident that you need to rent a towel for € 1 at the desk. Westerners might waste time searching for them; I know I did.
2. There are no phones in the room. This is understandable as it’s a no frills place, but just a heads up to everyone in case this is important. The front desk was SUPER SUPER kind to come up and tell me I had a call from my work, though. That was amazing service.
3. Big problem: The doors slam loudly, including the door to your room. Going to sleep requires ear plugs for just this reason. If they could put some kind of rubber stop on the doors so they don’t make the very audible clack when they close, that would solve that problem. I understand they do this to make sure doors close, and lock, but that slam is all night, every night.
So a very few and minor things to be mindful of. I love that the rooms are fairly large, almost 18 feet long, and 7 feet wide. Built in desk, clothes bureau, in-​room safe.
The best compliment I can give them, however, and probably of unique importance to westerners, is the fan. Sitting atop the closet like an icon of gold was a little desk fan. I was overjoyed.
Last year (and you can read in my previous review of the hotel) I told the Hotel that I would pay dearly for the privilege of using a fan. Perhaps someone read that or the hostel is just run differently. Either way, that little fan makes an incredible difference, and was my new favorite child sitting on the desk.
I’m very, very happy the Hostel does not require a key card to keep the lights on. Their sister hotel across the way does however. This can be very dreadful for others sleeping in your room, and a bit of a pain.
My only suggestion is that they put a little sign in every room laying out the ground rules of how things work, such as the towels. I am an American, and for that I apologize, but I’m use to the way things work over in the western hemisphere, and feel a tad awkward in confessing I don’t know about small things like towels. A little sign or paper when I check in with frequently asked questions would be very kind.
The showers are a little small, what you might call dorm showers. They’re private and you have a door you can lock and all, but getting in and out of that tiny room might be uncomfortable for the newly arrived. However the showers and bathrooms were always clean.
Downstairs the staff is very nice, and they all speak great English. There’s a nice café called Catz and Mouse with a darn good burger, the front desk has stamps, phone cards, and drinks for purchase. Book sharing in the lobby, a nice front patio, postcards, and just a lots of little things that really make it convenient.
I love the Circus Hostel and I’m definitely a fan. I will probably never stay at the hotel again now that I’ve experienced the magic of the hostel’s private room with shared bathroom, but maybe next time I’ll splurge the extra euros for a private bathroom. This is a great place to stay.

–Great location
–Hostel is really really clean and stylish.
–Beds are comfortable
–Walking City Tours available right from the hostel
–Great breakfast area downstairs (Also, awesome English Breakfast across the street)
–Subway is a few steps away
–Staff is really friendly and extremely helpful.
Overall GREAT place if you’re backpacking through Europe. Perfect if you’re between the ages of 18-​late 20’s.

Spent 3 nights at the Circus Hostel while backpacking through Europe. The hostel was really new, neat, and clean. But I must say, it is the staff that makes this hostel one of the best that I’ve stayed at during my trip. The staff in this hostel were a great crew — friendly, knowledgeable — people who enjoy teaching guests all there is to know about Berlin’s history, culture, sights to see. I was lucky to meet Rene… truly the best receptionist I have ever encountered. He totally went beyond the job description of a receptionist. On top of that, all of the other receptionists I had the chance to interact with were equally reliable and educated. Any so-​called upper-​class hotel would be happy to have staff like that. I will definite return to this hostel when I visit Berlin again.
However, I must confess the random Hesselhoff thing was weird… whose idea was that?

Ein duchaus schön gestaltetes Hostel mit freundlichem Personal für einen günstigen Preis und zentral gelegen. Punktabzug für die Badezimmer auf dem Flur und die Sauberkeit die einfach hätte besser sein können.

Best hostel experience I’ve ever had. There’s a café /​bar upstairs that serves food and coffee, and there’s another bar connected to it downstairs. There’s an additional lounge area to sit around in the lobby, and it’s all very clean and comfy. The entire atmosphere was great for meeting people inside the hostel!
I stayed in a 4 person room with 3 other people. My room was pretty sweet because it had a balcony! Inside each room, there’s a small locker for your valuables (you can pick up a free lock at the front desk) with a charger inside, so you can charge your phone or computer while you go take a shower or something.
The bathrooms /​showers were wonderfully clean. I don’t know how new or old the building is, but it seemed pretty new because nothing was rusty or gross-​looking.
Finally, its location in Mitte off the Rosenthalerplatz station = PRIME! It’s right next to a bunch of boutiques, cafes, art galleries and restaurants. It’s walking distance from Alexanderplatz and even the Brandenburg Gate /​Holocaust Memorial /​other big sights.
Don’t hesitate to ask for any advice btw! It’s pricier than a normal hostel; definitely not a «backpacker» type of place in my opinion.

Stay here every year when i travel. Expensive option (why its 4 stars) but a solid experience +5 years now. Plus the have immortalized «The Hoff».
Great information available for free. Highly recommend one of the audio tours !!

I’ve had drinks at the bar here, and also eaten the brunch, so this is a review of those two aspects. The drinks are great, and the bar downstairs is pretty cool. However, I found the brunch to be a bit lackluster. For all the advertisement it gets, I’d expect the brunch to be more substantial than bread, cheese, tomatoes, and oatmeal. However, I’m aware that there are other great aspects to this hostel, as the other reviews mention. If I needed a hostel in Mitte, this would be at the top of my list.

My friend and I shared a twin room with the shared bath in the summer of 2012. The hostel is very conveniently located next to the U-​Bahn stop at Rosenthaler Platz. It is located near to several eating establishments, bars (including one in the basement of the hostel), and a laundry facility.
We arrived on a Wednesday, which is the night that the basement bar has a free keg of beer for all until it runs dry. There is a café on the main floor with a great breakfast special for 5 euro — coffee and a breakfast buffet with a combination of fruits, yogurt, cereals, breads, deli meats, hardboiled eggs, and cheeses. There are other menu options as well, but we enjoyed this one so much that indulged in it all three mornings that we were there. Thursdays are 2 euro pasta night.
Everyone who worked at Circus was friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is an inviting atmosphere to meet new people. There are yoga classes offered. The lobby has comfortable lounge seating and also an area with computers, though wifi is also free. DVD player rentals are available. Bike rentals are also offered. This is also a pick up site for daily walking tours.
I definitely felt safe when staying at this hostel — with regard to the area itself as well as the actual accommodation. There is secured elevator access to get to the rooms. There are safes in the room to keep your valuables locked up when not needed. The room was super nice — clearly recently remodeled — and the bedding was fresh. The windows opened, but when closed they greatly eliminated street sounds from below. The greatest drawback to this hostel were the thin walls. To our right, we could hear a man snoring quite audibly all three nights. On our left, two of the three nights we were disturbed by the noise of our much younger neighbors blasting Brittany Spears and talking loudly. If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs! If you’re a social butterfly that likes to be up at all hours, you’re likely to be in good company!

Circus Hostel is head and shoulders above the average hostel. To quote the beau, «This is the coolest dorm room *ever*.»
For the hotel experience, definitely go to the Circus Hotel across the street. To save a few euro and get to know your fellow travelers, the hostel is the place to be. Where else rents out iPads cheaply by the hour so you can surf the web on their complementary wi-​fi? For the budget-​conscious traveler who opted not to bring a tablet along, what a welcome choice! Every night has a different special in the downstairs bar or the adjacent café, like free gluhwine or all-​you-​can-​eat spaghetti. I wish we stayed for spaghetti night what with all the Italians who came through during our two-​night stay.
Service is fantastic, provided by upbeat, helpful people going out of their way to make sure you know the protocols (no curfew, bring your own towel or rent one for 1 €, free whatever downstairs) and the various specials. Free walking tours embark daily and all sorts of special activities are happening, so even a traveler who feels like a fish out of water can jump in for a few hours or a whole day trip.
Bright, modern colours and jagged geometric designs decorate each floor. Rooms are surprisingly spacious and laid out nicely with all the IKEA-​esque décor you could want. Large beds, combo coat-​rack and drawers, an in-​room safe (yes, it’s true! Lock up your valuables!), and extra space makes this the university experience you might have wished you had. We ended up splurging on a private room and ended up on the fourth floor with a view over the tiny courtyard, nothing to really speak about, but a convenient location near the elevator and not too close to either the men’s or ladies’ lavatory. All fixtures are exceedingly clean from the hallways to the showers, which are always the least attractive facet of hosteling in my opinion. Kudos for the design that lets you store your clothing and personal items on pegs outside of the shower area. No lack of hot water, either!
My one quibble that I won’t knock a half star off for: the walls are a bit thin so the parade of noisy 20-​somethings drunk from their binge on the party circuit will be loud. Doors get slammed pretty often.
But seriously, you wouldn’t realize this was a hostel by the neat and tidy layout. It really feels more like an apartment. Security at all levels prevents random entries: your room pass is necessary to access the elevator, choose a floor, open the floor lobby and hallway doors, and your room door. I felt completely safe at all times. The front desk is staffed ²⁴⁄₇ and the employees make a point to tell you to come down and ask for anything. Need to know where to buy socks at the last minute or where a laundrette is? Having trouble getting your wifi to work? They can help.
Also, Circus Hostel runs a blog with local events, recommended sites, and Berlin hotspots well worth reviewing.

Great hostel! Clean, fun atmosphere! The rooms are well maintained the staff was very friendly and helpful. I was in a room with lots of bunk beds and the view looked out of the street! The 5 euro breakfast is off the chain! All you can eat of good food! I will definately stay here when I come back to Berlin

best breakfast ever!
and plussss 5 euros and you can eat as much as you can!
go now!

We stayed for one night here and I wish we could have stayed longer. This hostel is very big so it allows for you to interact with a lot of people throughout the day. Service is amazing (I had to call the airport and they let me use their front desk phone). Rooms & bathrooms are super clean and there’s a lot of security to ensure that random people cannot walk into the hallways or your room.
There is a great basement bar for people to preparty before going out & a café attached to the hostel with cheap coffee prices. They have lockers to hold your belongings if you check in or check out early.

I don’t do this a lot in my reviews, but this place is FUKCING amazing! After backpacking for Europe for 23 days, there is no doubt in my mind that this was the Best one I stayed at.
I don’t even know where to begin.
Staff — wonderful and helpful. 4.5 star on the service.
Beds– comfortable, not bunked, and spacious. (I had a four bedroom, and I was actually very luck, I was given one with a balcony facing the street and their sister hotel.)
Rooms– Bright, fun, and clean. I honestly rank it between a hostel and a hotel room. It’s in a class of its own.
Wifi– Yes it was available to use.
Storage in room– They don’t have one big enough for a huge back pack, but they do have a locker in room that was big enough for me to store my laptop, phone and some other valuables.
Washroom: Clean, easier to use, shower was great. Hot and they had a separate space to hang your stuff.
Food: Not provided for free but for 5 Euros, the meals they provide is beyond amazing. Cheeses, hams, waffles, bread, boiled eggs, granolas of different sorts, fresh salads.
Hands down, best hostel I’ve stayed. And I would be absolutely crazy not to recommend this hostel. Please stay here, you will realize that this hostel is world class, and can’t be beat. Extremely secure as well. Not only do you have to use your key card for your room, you have to do it for the hallway and elevator.
At the end, and this is my first this is a six star place. Period.

super gepflegte Zimmer und einfach super zentral– ich kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen Leute. Letzten Monat hatten 2 Freundinnen aus Peru dort geschlafen und sie waren auch begeistert.

1A Hostel! — gewohnt spartanisch, aber top sauber und in Schuss
— kostenloses WiFi im ganzen Hostel
— gute Lage
— extrem (!) freundliches Personal
— nette Leute
— faire Zimmer-​Preise Kann man nur empfehlen.

ein cooles hotel aber sehr aufmukisch.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far. Fantastic location right outside a U-​bahn stop plus walking distance to many attractions such as Museum Island, Hackescher Markt, and the Berlin Wall Documentation Center. Even in the middle of the week, this place was full and it was so easy to meet people in the lobby, café, and bar. They run daily tours and happy hour specials. Facilities are spacious, clean, and well-​lit. There are about three levels of key card access (elevator, hall, and room, plus card entry after ohurs), so I felt that my luggage was really safe.

Gutes Hostel mit sauberen Zimmern, nettem Personal und guter Lage und das alles zu fairen Preisen.

After a horrific stay at Piccadilly Circus, Circus Hostel was on the other side of coin.
BEAUTIFUL. AWESOME. GREAT. CLEAN.
We stayed here for only 2 nights in a 10-​bed share dorm.
First off, the service is awesome! Free wi-​fi, great people working at the front desk, etc. It’s very convenient and located right next to the U-​Bahn station. Not only that! They have postcards and stamps and they would readily help you send the postcards out from there.
Secondly, it’s CLEAN. The washrooms and showers were totally awesome — you have your own stall for the showers for your own prviacy.
Thirdly, people are AWESOME. My roommates were awesome and nice, but you can tell that the other rooms were quite rowdy.
Lastly, the café and bar! The café is awesome for breakfast — all-​you-​can-​eat breakfast buffet for only 5 euros that had the healthiest food of all: muesli, granola, yogurt, eggs, great selection of bread, cheese, hams, etc. The bar is awesome as well — on Monday nights — they have a free keg for those who get there early. Not only that, they have a SHRINE of David Hasselhoff. I couldn’t get over that.
AWESOME place to stay. Definite recommend!

Yes! Friendly staff, great location affordable. I will return. The only reason didn’t put 5 stars was the noise. Not the people, but the SLAMMING of the doors shake the entire floor and the street noise can be a bit much. But, it’s such a lovely, happy, accommodating space. I highly recommend it.

My stay at the Circus Hostel was by far the best hostel experience I had in Europe. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the ambiance was welcoming and comfortable.
I stayed at the Circus Hostel for a solid 7 nights in late September 2008. It happened to be the same time as the Berlin marathon, so that definitely added a certain degree of fun/​craziness to the atmosphere. There was an eclectic mix of guests at the hostel, and by the end of my week there I had made a pretty nice little group of friends from around the world. It’s two years later, and we’re still in touch online.
I really liked the area that the hostel was in. The Rosenthaler Platz U-​Bahn station is right across the street, which makes transportation throughout the city a cinch. I was travelling solo, so it was nice to be able to get to the hostel easily from the airport without much hassle. There are various pub crawls/​walking tours that come through the Circus hostel to pick up guests, which is a great touch. Aside from that, the hostel is in a central location, close to restaurants, shops, and a must-​check-​out Sunday «Flohmarkt» (flea market).
I would love to visit Berlin again, and I will definitely stay at the Circus Hostel when I come back.

Super Hostel, ein ganz entfernter Kumpel war spontan in Berlin und hat sich mit seinen Freunden so lange da niedergelassen. Er war total zufrieden. Da sie so oder so nur wenige Tage in Deutschland unterwegs waren, kam laut Aussage richtiges Backpacker-​feeling auf… Die gute Kritik geb ich gern weiter an alle, die Berlin besuchen möchten!!!

Kann dieses Hostel uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Sowohl ebi Einzelzimmer-​Buchung als auch beim Appartment! Alles sauber, das Personal sehr nett und entgegenkommend. Haben auch immer gute Tipps, wie man während des Berlin-​Aufenthalts Geld sparen kann (ob nun Hilfe bei der Entscheidung, welche Museums-​Card es sein darf oder bei Bahntickets).

Das Hostel ist im großen und ganzen super, totales «Backpacker feeling» und die ist Lage ist perfekt. Das Hostel selbst ist sehr modern, nicht zu vergleichen mit einem ⁰⁸⁄₁₅ Hostel. Der Service an der Rezeption war super freundlich, wir waren mit einer gruppe da in einen 10er Zimmer. Das Zimmer war wie geleckt, man konnte kein bisschen Dreck oder ähnliches finden, meine Vermutung ist, die Putzfrauen konzentrieren sich dermassen auf die Arbeit, das die Putzfrau ganz wild ins Zimmer reinplatz, ohne jegliche Begrüßung, Mimik oder Gestik, es kam nichts. Bis auf die Begegnung mit der «Raumpflegerin» ist dieses ein Top & weiterempfehlendes Hostel.

Das Hostel an sich habe ich nicht besucht — aber dafür das fabelhafte «Café Circus», welches sich im EG, nur mit einer Glastür zur Rezeption des Hostels getrennt, befindet.
Es war ein verregneter, oller Tag und meine Begleitung und ich auf der Suche nach einer gemütlichen Lokation. Die zuvor ausgesuchten Cafés waren bereits rappelvoll.
Also trotteten wir Richtung Hackischen Markt zurück und kamen glücklicherweise an diesem chilligen Café vorbei.
Es befindet sich wie das Circus Hostel am Weinbergsweg 1a im EG.
Direkt vor der «Haustür» hält auch die Straßenbahn M8 (Haltestelle: Rosenthaler Platz) — oder man fährt mit der U-​Bahn (Haltestelle: Rosenthaler Platz).
Das Café ist sehr gemütlich, aber auch modern eingerichtet.
Mit chilligen Couchsitzgelegenheiten bzw. gepolsterten Hockern.
Es gibt eine kleine (2 Leutchen finden hier Platz) Musikecke — hier kann man seinen Ipod anschließen und mit großen Kopfhörern den Sound genießen=)
Ansonsten gibts auch Barhockersitzgelegenheiten.
Es gibt eine Bier — Happy Hour: 19:00 — 20:00 Uhr
Außerdem bekommt man hier leckere Snacks. Wie z.B. Nachos mit Käse und einer Schüssel Salsasauce = sehr gehaltvoll und sättigend für 3,80EUR.
Der Latte Macciato ist sehr lecker (pro Stück = 2,10EUR) und es gibt sogar 2 leckere Amarettini dazu =)
Cappuccino = 1EUR.
Der Kuchen sah selbstgebacken aus.
Das Café verfügt auch über einen Beamer — mit dem Fußballspiele und andere gemeinschaftliche Spezials übertragen werden.
Dadurch das, dass Hostel gleich nebenan ist — befindet man sich in netter internationaler Gesellschaft … es war sehr lustig =)
Die Toiletten findet man im Kellergeschoss (durch die Glastür, gegenüber der Rezeption — die Treppe runter). Sie sind sehr sauber.
Na denn viel Spaß — ich geh hier sicher noch öfter hin.
Wo findet man schon ein günstiges Café mitten in Mitte…

my friend and i stayed here for a couple nights a few weeks ago.
the receptionist was very friendly and spoke pretty good english. the rooms were cheap and i was surprised by the size of the hostel and by how quiet it was in the hallways. elevator a big plus but also totally needed. the rooms were the cleanest rooms i’ve ever seen in a hostel. and let me tell you… i’ve stayed in PLENTY of hostels before. hardwood floor. thumbs up. small locker right by the bed. big lockers in the basement. cheap internet.
all in all a pretty perfect hostel. when returning to berlin i’m gonna stay there again!

Das Circus finde ich total klasse. Für Leute die Berlin noch nicht kennen, reicht eigentlich nur ein Blick auf den Stadtplan, um festzustellen, dass die Lage optimal ist.
Ich kann über das Hostel nur positives berichten, die Zimmer sind sehr nett eingerichtet, es gibt verschiedene Angebote, wie man hier seine Übernachtung verbringen möchte, vom 8-​Bett-​Raum bis zum Apartment mit Balkon ist alles möglich.
Ich würde jederzeit wieder eine Übernachtung buchen, ich finde das ganze Hostel um einiges toller, wie viele andere Hotels, die ich bisher gesehen hab.

Ich habe in diesem Hostel eigentlich immer nur die Lobby gesehen. Eigentlich müsste ich eine Platin-​Kundenkarte haben bei den vielen Leuten, denen ich das Circus schon empfohlen habe.
Es waren einfach immer alle begeistert — von den Räumen, dem Service, den Preisen. Tja, und das habe ich einfach immer weiter gegeben. So wenig wie ich gern am rosenthler Platz wohnen wollen würde, halte ich es als Ausgangspunkt für einen Touristenausflug für perfekt!!!

Ich kann zum eigentlichen Hostel nichts sagen, aber zur angeschlossenen Kellerbar «Goldmans».
War mit anderen Couchsurfern dort, um den Eurovision Song Contest zu zelebrieren.
Die Atmosphäre war sehr angenehm, die Toiletten für ein Lokal dieser Kategorie ausgezeichnet.
Das Bier war recht günstig, das Personal freundlich.
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend, nicht nur, weil Lena gewann ;o).
Das Goldmans hat einen hervorragenden Rahmen geboten, ich komme gerne wieder.

Das Circus zählt zu den beliebtesten Hostels Berlins. Schon alleine die Lage, am Rosenthaler Platz in Mitte, überzeugt. Ich selber habe dort nicht genächtigt, allerdings schon einige von meinen Freunden, die alle nur Gutes berichten konnten. Die Räume sind alle sehr sauber und das Personal hilfsbereit und freundlich. Im hauseigenen Café lässt es sich sehr gut frühstücken, allerdings ist das nicht im Übernachtungspreis enthalten. Womit wir auch schon beim Thema wären, den Preisen. Dorms kann man ab 19 € buchen, nicht gerade ein Schnäppchen. Man bekommt viel Comfort, muss aber, wie gesagt, auch ein bisschen mehr bezahlen. Wem das egal ist, der kann mit gutem Gewissen dort buchen!

Eines der beliebtesten Hostels in Mitte!
Dort gibt es immer was zu feiern.
Mittwochs gibt es Karaōke in der Kellerbar.
Es sind internationale Angestellte, die Bock auf ihren Job haben, Dich durch die Stadt führen oder einfach nach Feierabend mit Dir noch ein Bierchen zwitschern.
Auch Nichtbewohner des Hostels können dort das Restaurant besuchen, ihren Laptop mitbringen, nette Musik im Café hören, oder abends mit den ausgelassenen Touries feiern!

Bin heute in besagtes Café im EG des Hostels gegangen und wurde von einem sehr «verhaltenen» jungen Mann empfangen. Abgesehen vom fehlenden Blickkontakt, hoffentlich lag‘s nicht an meinen exotischen Zügen, wurde mir im Gegensatz zu den anderen Gästen nicht der Happy-​hour-​Preis angerechnet, obwohl ich viertel nach zwei meine Bestellung aufgab. Schade, man weist ja von selbst ungern auf Rabatte hin.
Dafür gibt es keinerlei Punktabzug für die Hygiene, denn der junge Mann wirbelte die ganze Zeit mit dem Besen um mich herum. Den blonden Zopf zusammengebunden, wird der Gast wohl auch nie ein Haar von ihm in der Suppe finden.

The Best Hostel I have ever seen. Very nice rooms, everythings clean, cool Coffee bar and free WiFi — in the end it would also be a perfect 4-​star Hotel. Also check out the best Bars, alternative Clubs etc around. Thanks.

5 estrellas y mucho mas… Este famoso hostal se encarga de recibir al publico mas joven de toda europa!.. situado en el corazon de Mitte. buen servicio y precio razonable!.. Desde aqui puedes caminar y trasladarte hacia los puntos turisticos mas importante de berlin!..

Ich war extrem überrascht, wie sauber die Jugendherberge war! Ich habe mit so einem bisschen Dreck hier und da unterm Bett oder einfach auf dem Fußboden gerechnet. Nichts. Kein Dreck. Selbst, wenn man gesucht hätte, hätte man auf dem Doppelzimmer nichts finden können, vermutlich. Auch die Toiletten und Duschen, die wir mit 7 anderen Doppelzimmern teilen mussten, waren in einem absolut guten Zustand. Ich war positiv überrascht. Die Lage ich zudem einfach super, weil man quasi von der U– Bahn Station Rosenthaler Platz in die Jugendherberge hinein fällt. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut. Für 5 Euro konnte man soviel frühstücken, wie man wollte. Es gab Brot, Brötchen, Toast, Gemüse (Gurken, Tomaten etc.) und Obst (Ananas, Orangen etc.). Richtig viel Auswahl für eine Jugendherberge und sehr lecker!
Alles in allem wirklich empfehlenswert!

Je n’ai pas été dans l’hotel, seulement dans le bar qui se trouve au sous-​sol.
C’est un bar sympa, pas cher, où les clients de l’hotel viennent, ainsi que des personnes extérieur.
Un bar sympa donc pour prendre un verre et faire des rencontres d’étrangers en visite.

Ich war schon in einigen Hostels zu Gast, das Circus gehörte dabei eindeutig zu den Besten. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und sauber, das Personal freundlich und kompetent.
Dazu liegt es sehr verkehrsgünstig am Rosa-​Luxemburg-​Platz.

Top gelegen in Mitte und einfach zu erreichen mit den Öffentlichen. Siehe Online.
Gleich beim betreten spürst du diesen Backpacker und «ich habe mein MacBook überall dabei”-Flair. Fantastisch.
Der Übernachtungspreis ist erwartungsgemäß günstig. Weniger als 20Eur. Genau weiß ich das nicht mehr.
Die Zimmereinrichtung würde ich noch unter der Ikea-​Liga ansiedeln aber absolut ausreichend und bequem. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder sind sauber, wie das ganze Hostel überhaupt.
Im Foyer, in der Lounge oder im Eingangsbereich wie mans auch immer nennt, gibts gegen eine kleine Gebühr n Internetvoucher fürs Wlan oder die bereit stehenden PCs.
Frühstück und der gleichen muss natürlich extra gezahlt werden.
Empfehlenswert wenn man günstig in Berlin bleiben will.
