Circo Hostel

Asuncion

We stayed in a 4 people dorm. However, since we were the only ones in the room, it was like booking a double room, which was pretty nice.
The breakfast is basic but comforting.
The location is great.
Staff is very helpful.
Overall, a good choice.

Central and ok considering the price

I came for two nights and i ended up staying for tree weeks at circo. The hostel is very clean and modern. It has a perfect chill out room and staff is very nice. Sure the breakfast isn't a continental one but breakfast is poorly in all over south America. I would definitely recommend people to stay

Great hostel!

New hostel, comfortable beds, clean outside showers and toilets. Quite dark inside though.There is an awesome train cemetary on the grounds, definitely worth a visit! Also a good place for cat and dog lovers...the kitten lies on your lap whilst you have (a basic but decent) breakfast. Nice sound-proof chill out area and computers with a good internet connection. The staff was friendly but not particularly helpful....then again, we didnt really ask much information and there was a bit of a language barrier. All in all, a more than decent place to stay at a reasonable price.

comfortable stay in asuncion

Circo Hostel was a nice place to stay at. The building and its surroundings are a attraction in it self: there is a train cemmetery in the back yard.

The hostel has only dormitory rooms (4, 6 or 10 beds). We were in the 6 bed and this room was clean. In the 4 bed there were cob webs, as described in the other review. Overall my impression is that this is a clean hostel. The sanitary was kept clean very well. Indeed the toilets are semi outside, but this hasn´t been a problem for me, for it is only 10 centimeters away from the reception area.

Staff were very nice, the location is perfect (1 minute walking distance from the plaza, close to restaurants, the bus agency booking office). Indeed there are some poor people in this area but they wouldn´t even hurt a fly.

Things I disliked: you have to put the sheets on your bed yourself and the price does´t include a towel. There are sad things.

It isn´t cheap, but this seems to be a Paraguayan thing. Compared to other Paraguayan hostels the price is fair. We paid 50.000 guarani per person, per night, breakfast included (as described in the other review). Price on arrival.

Average to good

We stayed here last week when we got to Asuncion. From the pictures,it looked quirky, fun and clean. When we arrived, we were shown to a room by a nice receptionist who said she spoke English but  who actually couldnt (not too much of a problem as I speak a bit of Spanish). 
BEDS: Big, with good sized lockers underneath. Sad to say that there was a piece of mice poop on the ledge beside my bed and the walls were covered in cobwebs the size of hammocks. 
BREAKFAST: One bread roll, one packet of butter and one packet of Doce de Leche. To drink, coffe or juice - which had tiny ants floating in it. (when pointed out to the receptionist, she merely poured it down the drain and didnt even apologise.)
FACILITIES: Internet is good, the communal room is OK, again, filthy (ie dusty etc) and there is a ?7inch screen tele with cable which doesnt plug in. Next to a really poor area of Asuncion so is apparantly one of the areas to avoid but we never had a problem. One thing that creeped me out was the old man (cleaner) who would sit outside the shower whilst you were in it (theres a big glass panel). LOCKED toilets outside which was quite scary during the night and annoying to have to keep finding the key when bursting to use the loo!
STAFF: Nice, little bit reserved.   
OVERALL: The hostel was like a ghost town. Its placed on site for the old train station so its quite dark and eerie. The only other people in he hostel were two young lads who told us they were leaving the hostel that night. After that, there was just myself and my boyfriend. Needless to say, we moved on quite quickly.
Would we stay there again? Not even if it were free.
