The Circus Hostel

One of my favorite hostels because the beds are cozy and offer a bit of privacy. The design of the whole place is very modern and nice. You can store your luggage for free in the cellar with a modern and secure system. There is also somewhat of a mini-shrine of David Hasselhoff in that cellar and in the beds themselves- that cracks me up every time I stay there ;) They are environmentally conscious and sell you glass bottles of water, which I think is great and tastes better. It’s superclean. Across the street you have „Späti“. It’s paradise for people with allergies: there is a gluten free bakery close by that will make your dreams come true. Also, the pizzeria „Lovebirds“ offers a killer gluten free pizza. In St. Oberholz you can sit all day with excellent internet, in good company and work with your computer. It’s right at a metro station ( Rosenthaler Platz ) and you can go directly and quick to the Alexanderplatz (radio tower).

It was a convenient location with the U-Bahn and tram station right in front of it, a lot of restaurants nearby too. The room looked clean but had a constant smell of wet clothes that were not drying, not sure if it was from some else’s clothes, just very unpleasant. Other than that the shower and toilets were clean, and the staff was super helpful to provide 1-time body wash since I forgot to bring my own.
