The Circus Hostel

Since 2001 we’ve been standing proud on Rosenthaler Platz, the mothership of The Circus overlooking one of Berlin’s busiest squares. You’ll find us in the heart of a lively nightlife and cultural scene in the centre of Berlin and within walking distance of many of the city’s famous sights. There’s always something going on thanks to our regular programme of tours and events to help you experience the best of Berlin, and not only do we have our own microbrewery producing excellent craft beer but The Circus Hostel is also home to the one and only Hoff Museum, dedicated to the man himself.

One of the Best!

Reviewed By csberry86

Situated at U-Bahn Rosenthaler. You can catch a train from Brandenberg Airport which costs €3.50 and be there within 45mins. Online check-in enabled smoother check-in at desk. Towels are a €1 to rent. They also have a fridge whereby you can purchase drinks. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm which we fortunately had to ourselves. Bunk beds are well built, providing privacy and a shelf with USB points and light. Showers and toilets are separate but clean and functional. Amazing water pressure! Basement bar has cool vibes with great beer and cocktails. Only complaint: the cafe/breakfast area. It’s open to general public which may provide difficulty when queueing or getting a seat. Breakfast was good value for €5.

Great hotel and service

Reviewed By Poliorkitis96

As a hotel, it is VFM. I was there for 4 nights and my stay was nice. I liked the room decoration, as it was something out of the ordinary. The room was clean, and the breakfast, even though it didn't offer cooked food, it had a lot of variety and worth its money. In addition, it has a public kitchen, where you can cook your own food. The hotel staff was very kind and fun to hang out with. Also, very helpful regarding the places to visit and the the public transportation options. The hotel is located near the railway station of Altona, which is great as you have easy access to public transportation. All in all, I enjoyed my stay there and, if I visit Hamburg again, I would like to stay there again.

Me and my friends stayed in a dorm for 8 people. The room was with bugs, ants and an awfull smell. We maid a complaint in the receiption and the only thing they did in the day after was remove the garbage. One of my friends had to vomit because she was very sensitive to the smell. We complaint again in the second day and they told us that they didn't cleaned the rooms before we arrive because there wasn't a house keeping. Not a good experience at all.

Euro Youth Hotel

The Euro Youth Hostel in Munich enjoys a great location just 100m from the main station and a few minutes from the pedestrainized city center. The hostel is housed in a beautiful old building but has modern amenities (eg free wifi in all areas). Some of the biggest attaractions of the hostel are the fantastic international atmosphere at the lively hostel bar, the friendly, helpful and multilingual staff and the bright, clean and spacious rooms.

Best hostel in Munich!

Reviewed By FlowerGypsy85

I stayed at a couple of different locations in Munich and this was by far the best one in terms of cost, cleanliness, location, WiFi, friendliness, facilities, etc. so much so that I ended up staying here a few times over a period of two months. The WiFi was amazing, I had 0 problems and I was able to work from my private room. They also have incredible facilities (5 euro laundry, 5.95 breakfast with eggs, ham, cheese, fruit, coffee, etc.), a bar, etc. The place was spotless and best of all, all of the staff were super friendly, helpful, and always there to answer questions. The city centre is 10 minutes away, and the main train station is less than 5 minutes away where you can find lots of supermarkets, etc. Definitely one of the best hostels I've been to in a long time. Cheers guys!
