The Rates at The Circus Hotel

"As for the rooms, they’re far more style savvy than one usually gets in this price bracket, mixing cheerily colorful walls (think orange, acqua or deep red, off-set by white), 1960s-esque furniture created by the hotel’s designer (Sandra Ernst) and homey bric-a-brac for an added dash of personality"

"Travelers seeking more creature comforts in the city center can check the Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof to the west, which also has a pool for only slightly higher rates"

"In two corner buildings on a busy intersection, it offers 60 airy, minimalist rooms, (truly) friendly service, clever touches such as iPods charged with a selection of Berlin music, a plush restaurant serving modern German fare and prices starting at around €70"

"This hostel, near Alexanderplatz, offers great value accommodation close to many of the city’s sights"

"Simply good value all-round"
