The Circus Hostel

LikedGood location, comfortable beds and still felt like I had privacy in the dorm room

LikedThe girl at reception was really friendly and helpful. She spent a lot of time just trying to find me the lower berth I wanted. Excellent staff, nice environment and friendly vibe.

LikedThe staff was incredibly nice

DislikedThere are no curtains in the beds, which gives a good sense of privacy

LikedThe 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.

DislikedThe 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!

LikedEverything’s cleaned regularly and the staff is really friendly and helpful! Location is also great

DislikedIt would be comfier if they added curtains to the beds
