Great Hotel to stay in Berlin / very centrall Rooms are great and super clean Walkwise you will reach Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain in about 10-15 Minutes Parking is convenient as well at the hotel

We recently stayed at The Circus Hotel in Berlin, taking two rooms for a short family trip. The experience was, in many respects, excellent. The location is ideal—central, with easy access to public transport and within walking distance of a huge variety of restaurants and shops. Service throughout was truly commendable. Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful at every turn. The hotel bar is a genuine highlight—stylish, welcoming, and well-stocked. We especially appreciated the honesty bar and terrace upstairs, which made for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon during our stay. Breakfast was another strong point, offering a good variety of quality options in a comfortable setting. The rooms themselves are well-sized, clean, and nicely appointed. However, there’s a major issue that any traveller should be aware of: there is no real air conditioning. What’s provided is what I would describe as a comfort cooling system—more symbolic than functional. During our stay, temperatures hovered around 25 °C during the day and 18 °C at night, yet the rooms remained unpleasantly warm. Both rooms had fans, and the windows had to be opened to let in any real cool air. It’s quite clear that the hotel expects guests to rely on the fans, which is not acceptable given the climate realities of Berlin summers. This significantly affected our comfort and sleep. For travel between late May and early October, I would strongly caution against booking unless you’re completely indifferent to room temperature. It’s unfortunate, because in almost every other respect, The Circus Hotel is a real gem. I genuinely wanted to love it, and in cooler months, I very likely would. But the absence of proper climate control is a deal-breaker in warmer weather, and it’s clear the hotel is aware of the issue—hence the fans in every room. Pros: • Excellent location • Superb service • Great breakfast • Fantastic bar and terrace • Generous room size Cons: • No air conditioning—only a weak cooling system and fans • Rooms become uncomfortably warm even in moderate summer temperatures Conclusion: A brilliant hotel during cooler seasons. But for summer stays, particularly with children or light sleepers, the lack of proper climate control unfortunately outweighs the many positives.

We stayed for four nights at the Sana Hotel in an apartment. The accommodation was very nice: clean, bright, and comfortable. The only downside was the hotel's wellness area (swimming pool, sauna, and hammam), which was unfortunately very difficult to enjoy. It quickly turns into what feels like a water park because many families come with their children and do not respect the rules. The children run, shout, dive, and jump into the pool, and the parents often do the same. It is impossible to enjoy this area, which is supposed to be peaceful and relaxing. Whether you're in the pool or lying on a sun lounger, you end up getting splashed every time someone jumps into the water. The rules are clearly displayed at the entrance to the wellness area, but there are no hotel staff present to ensure they are respected. The same applies to the rule stating that children are not allowed after 8:00 p.m. Unfortunately, there were children in the wellness area until 11:00 p.m. every evening during our stay. This is a real shame, as the wellness area is of little use if you are looking for peace and relaxation. ****** Wir haben vier Nächte im Sana Hotel in einem Apartment verbracht. Die Unterkunft war sehr gut: sauber, hell und komfortabel. Der einzige negative Punkt war der Wellnessbereich (Schwimmbad, Sauna und Hamam), der leider kaum nutzbar war. Er verwandelt sich schnell in ein regelrechtes Freizeitbad, da viele Familien mit ihren Kindern kommen und sich nicht an die Regeln halten. Die Kinder rennen, schreien, springen und tauchen ständig ins Becken, und auch viele Eltern verhalten sich genauso. Es ist unmöglich, diesen Bereich zu genießen, obwohl er eigentlich der Ruhe und Entspannung dienen soll. Egal, ob man im Wasser ist oder auf einer Liege liegt – bei jedem Sprung ins Becken wird man nass. Die Regeln sind am Eingang des Wellnessbereichs deutlich ausgeschildert, doch es gibt kein Hotelpersonal, das auf deren Einhaltung achtet. Dasselbe gilt für die Regel, dass Kindern der Zutritt nach 20:00 Uhr nicht mehr erlaubt ist. Leider befanden sich während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts jeden Abend bis 23:00 Uhr noch Kinder im Wellnessbereich. Das ist wirklich schade, denn wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, kann den Wellnessbereich kaum genießen.

Great hotel, a bit too far from the city centre. If you’re a tourist, you may consider something more convenient (about 40m away from centre by public transport)

Perfectly located — within easy walking distance to most major sights in Mitte like the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Philharmonic, and Checkpoint Charlie. For places a bit further out, there’s a train station right in front of the hotel, which makes getting around effortless. There’s even a dm grocery store just a minute’s walk away, which was super convenient. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with a full set of amenities provided from the start — something surprisingly rare in Europe. Overall, a very comfortable and well-thought-out stay. Highly recommend!

Booked this hotel for a trade show. All the rooms are quite small, but the location is truly excellent. There's a subway station right outside, and the U2 line goes directly to Messe Berlin without any transfers. About 700 meters away, there's a fantastic Chinese restaurant that I ended up eating at every day. The hotel is also in the city center; it's just a 15-minute walk to the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island. The breakfast restaurant, located under a dome, is beautiful and faces the German Cathedral.

Great location and well-equipped, including a small kitchenette (though no chef!). The best part was the air conditioning – it was a lifesaver during the heatwave. Excellent value for money. Self-check-in and check-out were convenient. It's right on the border between A and B zones for the subway, and it's only a ten-minute walk if you need to catch a train. There's a large mall nearby with a food court, supermarket, and DM, making it super easy to stock up on essentials. I felt quite safe, as the area is all residential.

The room was super clean. The hotel is centrally located. Walking distance from a shopping mall and the train station. We tried ordering room service but we didn’t have a way to do it and when we called reception they basically told us to just look in the room for the menu. We only had a breakfast one. Other than that, everything else was awesome.

No air conditioning! If you come in the summer during a heatwave, you'll want to die. However, the location is quite good, about an 8-10 minute walk from the train station, and the bus stop isn't far either.

Not our first time in this hotel. Love that everything is automated. Definitely, there is space to improve the acoustic isolation, especially if you have a room next to the road or next to an elevator. Probably coming back again here.
