    Pros +

    • As a solo traveller it was really good. Spacious rooms with good privacy on beds and big mirrors. Pillows are amazing. It was clean on the rooms, big Windows with a view and that we can fully open, which is rare. Place is cozy and staff really friendly and helpful.Great location, close to the center and everything.
    • The location is really good, and the staff is friendly. The free lockers are really convenient and helpful!
    • All the staff were really friendly and nice, rooms were big enough for 8 people, you can easily socialise at the bar downstairs

    Cons -

    • There is definitly something wrong with the toilets : never really clean (all of them). I would be so much better with a kitchen and a laundry. To take the stairs you have to go trough the elevator so it’s sometimes really long to wait for it.
    • The noise from the Stadtbahn is a bit loud if your bed is next to a window.
    • Lockers were kinda small, be aware if u have big luggage

    Great location, fun vibes, great bar and activities offered. Very social, great for young people!

    Very smelly and facilities were not great compared to other hostels

    5NataliaPosted on: 2-11-2026

    I wasn't too impressed. The hostel is really clean and really well furnished, but this is the only good thing at all my stay.

    The location is not that good as they advertise, constant traffic issues, noise from outside, almost 0 shared space, the general atmosphere isn't hostel-like, I mean not too much events, hanging out, meeting with people, no kitchen at all, a tinny lobby and that's it.

    9AlbertoPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Very well located, close to restaurants, convenience stores and the subway is a few meters away. The room was spacious and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was good too.I would stay here again!

    There were very noisy guests. I guess it is to be expected from a hostal, though! Nothing to blame on the staff.

    Amazing things: location,cleanliness,beds,atmosphere,people,personnelsCaution: there is no shampoo in bathroom so you need to bring it. You need to bring a long-headed padlock. Don't forget to bring a slipper for bathroom.

    No free towel, room was smelling

    7TigiPosted on: 2-7-2026

    The staff is super kind and helpful (Thanks Liza!!)Breakfast is nice, normal European Rooms are good, good bedsGreat Location

    The coffee is horrible (sorry, is true)There's not much space to be, Like a lounge areaPricy Bad communication with Booking, not sure from where, I believe Booking because staff there was super helpful, which lead to an horrible final experience.They removed my stuff without consent and warning (which could have lead to broken belongings) and broke my locker. But they fixed the problem

    It's in a good location and it's mostly clean.

    There isn't much of a vibe. Nobody is really talking to each other. Also, the toilets outside the rooms are not that clean and very far away from some rooms. In my room, there were a lot of guys who had very smelly feet and smelly shoes. I got a headache from the bad air, plus I felt like vomiting in the night from the bad air. But it was too cold outside to air the room properly.I would not recommend it. They have a bar in the basement where everyone is just staring at their phones.

    Beautiful hostel in great location with very friendly staff! Clean and comfortable rooms. Definitely recommend for stays in Berlin.

    Location, room, staff, and the truly awesome origin backstory of how the Circus came to be.

    No kitchen access. Had to make do with small paper cups for hot drinks at night.

    10CatrionaPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The common space downstairs was great too, and there seemed lots of events for people who want them. The location was very accessible, a tram stop right outside and only 10 mins to a train station so perfect for going to the rest of the city though the neighbourhood itself is lovely. Also, I was able to switch rooms really easily when I injured my arm and needed a lower bunk, so that was a plus, they are very accommodating. Bathrooms are cleaned pretty regularly, and the shower rooms have spacious cubicles for all your things. And just the general vibe is relaxing, this was my first of many hostels on a long trip and they’ve really set the bar.

    When I arrived I was going to put my bags in the storage room until check in, but the guy at the desk said they had a room available right then for me to use however he didn’t mention anything about it being extra payment and I was charged 14€ at check out. I was perfectly happy to have just stored my bags, so I was a bit put out by that, maybe I should have known but it would be good if staff could mention that before they book you in instead of dong it automatically. That was the only issue I had with the whole stay though, the rest was great :)

    Staff very friendly, huge and organized hostel, good touristic spot, many places are walkable from the hostel.

    I was hoping that there would be a kitchen in the hostel.

    This hostel is a walking distance from central Berlin, tram and U-Bahn stops are very close. A really nice city skyline view on the higher floors. Very friendly and helpful staff. VERY good value for money. Some activities for the guests. Pleasant character of the place. My new favourite hostel in Berlin.
