    Maybe the showers can include a separation, like a curtain, to prevent clothes from getting wet.

    The ubication of the hostel is strategically perfect. Close to tourist and public places like restaurants and pubs. The Picture of David Hasselhoff improved the decoration of the beds 🖤. It was clean, beautiful, and secure. I enjoyed my days there. I'll come back again!

    Absolutely incredible hostel - great vibe and detail

    Absolutely incredible apartment on 5th floor - beats a lot of hotels. Spotlessly clean and modern. Quirky touches all appreciated (David Hasselhoff Museum!) . Brewery in basement (you get a free taster voucher on check in). Clearly the owners have given this all a lot of thought to make it a very nice hostel indeed and the detail did not go unnoticed. We came to and fro off a cycling tour and used the locker rooms downstairs - free and secure. We will stay again, have no doubt. We loved it, thank you.

    Stuff was super nice, location is good in terms of accessibility of restaurants and coffee shops + any activity & museums are not far. For it's price place is great. They even gave card as free beer for the bar. Clean rooms and shower. Only one - it's outside noise, but again for this price I really recommend. Will return

    The only thing I would say is they could have had a microwave or something like many others but there was plenty of food options close by so not the worst thing in the world

    Great hostel with a great bar and really easy to meet people.

    Large, clean rooms with comfortable beds. Good sized lockers in the rooms and luggage storage available. Easy check-in and check out.

    Best Location in Berlin, incredible stay, clean spaces
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There was not a noise warning when booking my room. The 10 people shared room was noisy even with the windows closed because of the tram outside and ambulances. However, it was impossible to keep windows closed because it is necessary to have airflow, especially in a room with 10 beds. I would have liked to know this in advance and consider it when choosing the room. The front desk provided me with earplugs (Thank you!)

    I loved the location, it was perfect. Tons of great restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, and thrift stores are just a few steps away. The staff was marvelously helpful and friendly. The hostel has a coffee shop and a small bar that allows you to be productive and have a good time on the terrace if you are working on projects. Shared spaces like showers and bathrooms were always clean. Kudos to the bartender who was so fun to chat with on my last day. You have to try the beer!

    The bedroom has a strange smell, the breakfast has limited coffee for person and everyday is the same food.

    The hostel is a very nice place to stay. Beside the ubahn and sbahn, easy to go everywhere. The breakfast is good and the bedroom is very huge, you won’t feel tight. The bathroom are very clean and the shower is so good.

    I didn't like that room doesn't have direct access to toilets. Toilets could be modernized. Also it's not that easy to meet new people.

    Room was spacious, clean and nice. Although windows are a bit low. Location is great. A lot of good restaurants near.

    As soon as you open the windows there is a lot of noise coming in and there is no air conditioning. Even so, I stayed there in march and the temp inside was perfect! I was very unlucky with my roomates. In my room there was someone who stank terribly, but they were so kind to change my room. Too bad the second night I was sleeping next to a human jet engine lol. Of course this has nothing to do with the place, but just keep in mind that you will have to adjust, on the plus side you will meet so many friendly and interesting people.

    Absolutely loved the place. The location is amazing and the facilities as well. The staff is really kind and helpful. There are so many bathrooms you will always find one free.

    The breakfast could be a little wider in terms of options for people. I am celiac and noticed that there was not much available for me so opted for breakfast near the Hostel instead. Also the lift does take a while to get you up and down to rooms and reception etc so just use the stairs!

    The Circus was located quite well for a tourist visiting the city as it doesn't take long to get to main tourist areas and there is quite a lot of good food places so close by. We used public transport and there is both an underground and tram station right next to the hostel which is great for female travellers. The private room was a great idea for myself and my friend as we paid a good price for the 2 of us and had some privacy with no disturbances which is well needed on a trip with many locations (just know that it is a shared bathroom which is not an issue as they are really nice!). The staff were fantastic and the hostel puts a load of effort into organising trips and excursions for guests so be sure to look out at reception or speak to the staff.
