About
The Circus Hotel
The Circus Hotel occupies a converted building on Rosenthalerstrasse in Berlin's lively Mitte district. The 62 rooms mix contemporary design with playful, hand-painted wall art, and the public spaces carry the same creative energy. Guests can use the sun terrace, garden and leisure/TV room, and the hotel's bike hire makes exploring the city on two wheels easy.
Everything runs smoothly from arrival to departure: the 24-hour reception, key card access, luggage storage and laundry services cover the practical side, while the coffee shop, bar and restaurant keep you fed. The hotel is fully non-smoking and does not accept pets. Paid parking is available on site.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower than other categories — Guest ratings for the restaurant and bar are positive but slightly less glowing than the hotel's location or service, and one review found breakfast expensive for the portion.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Paid parking — Parking is available on site but comes at an extra cost, which may add to the bill for drivers.
- Rooms can be on a main road — The hotel sits on Rosenthalerstrasse, and while one reviewer found it quiet, street noise may affect some rooms.

8.6Verified guest“The room was beautifully designed and the staff from check-in to check-out, including the restaurant and bar teams, were very friendly.”
8.6Verified guest“The service throughout my stay was excellent.”
8.6Verified guest“The digital heating made it easy to get the room temperature right. The rooms are creative with interesting painted walls. Free Wi-Fi worked well across the property. The train station at Rosenthalerplatz is right next to the hotel and a few stops from most attractions, though you may need a change coming from the main station. Taxi from the main station cost about €10, and €20 to Tegel airport.”
8.6Verified guest“Modern, quirky decor. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for seeing the rest of the city.”
8.6Verified guest“Every member of staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was contemporary, spotless and well placed for the main sights. Food and drink in the bar and restaurant were good quality and fairly priced.”
8.6Verified guest“Everything was brilliant from the welcome to check-out. The junior suite was clean, roomy, comfortable and warm even though it was -10°C outside. All staff were genuinely friendly. The bar and restaurant were excellent value. Breakfast was good but a little pricey for what you get. I liked the DIY tea bag idea. Overall, a highly recommended eco-friendly hotel.”
