    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.

    We were 6 people in a dormitory so in the morning, the room needed some fresh air badly as we couldn't leave the windows open due to the weather. I think there could be some better ventilation system in such a small room with so many people sleeping. But it was not really bad, it is just something that could be improved.

    The location was great. The staff were really helpful and nice. Breakfast was great. I had some time before taking my train back and there was a possibility to store my luggage for free very comfortably in a locker room. I enjoyed my stay. Pleasant. Nice atmosphere.

    The road facing rooms can get quite noisy from the traffic and people on the street if you open the windows for ventilation, else it is quite soundproof

    Clean and spacious rooms. The toilets are clean too and the heated water comes on fast. There’re plenty of cafes and restaurants all around the hostel.

    The pillow was too big and soft. The outlet was in a little cupboard inside the bunk bed and I had to keep it open whilst charging which was very uncomfortable as there was little space to lie down. It was claustrophobic.

    I was in a 8 bed room. It was spacious and the bed was comfortable except the pillow. The staff was very friendly.

    You need to pay to have a padlock. Change this guys, charge more to stay at the bedroom and include the facilities.

    The price is very good!

    These are tiny things, but you could only get free tea or coffee when the cafe was closed in the early afternoon as we didn’t pay for breakfast which is a shame. It’d be nice to have a kettle in the private rooms. Also the sound proofing to the other rooms/corridor isn’t great.

    Super comfy bed, friendly staff, excellent location with the U Bahn right outside, and the whole design was very clean and stylish. It was exactly what we needed!

    The only thing that wasn’t bad, but could be better was the mattress.

    I loved staying at The Circus. The hostel is clean, comfortable, very well decorated. THE BEST hostel bathroom and showers I’ve ever experienced. The staff is great. The cafe and the bar amazing! So worth the money and the time.

    Everything was great. If I’m being picky, it took longer than expected to check out as there was only one staff member on, but that’s about it.

    Bed was really comfortable for a hostel, the whole building was really funky vibes and I loved the David Hasselhoff exhibit downstairs.

    The showers were being cleaned at peak times, so you had to go furher the corridor to find available showers. But really not a big deal, as because of it everthing was clean all the time.

    The showers were very well designed. The beds were very comfortable and the room was super spacious with large mirrors. Great space for phone charging and easy access to personal things next to the bed.
