Heart Of Gold Hostel

The position is really nice, close to everything and the common space very big and comfortable. The only negative thing are the beds, which are extremely old, uncomfortable and super loud: I got up everytime someone was turning around. The guys at the reception are nice and helpful. In total I would recommend it, because it was one of the cheapest option you can get (or at least that I could find) and for the price it has many services (for example locks, coffee for free in the mall)

Nice hostel. Great location and the staff is super!

Pésima atención del recepcionista, no me dejó llevarle las maletas a mi mamá para su cierto, no me atendieron para comprar una cerveza y no me dejaron sacar mi ensalada por qué abría a las 8 el restaurante y yo solo quería sacar del refri la ensalada

It was great, laundromat would be nice

Its a nice hostel with good opportunities to meet new people, but the rooms feel like bare minimum and the kitchen was lacking

Küche muss umbedingt öfter geputzt werden und es braucht mehr Ablagemöglichkeiten bei den Pods. Pods zudem definitiv nicht Soundproof. Ansonsten gut.

Very good facilities and helpful staff. Chill atmosphere, great location.

De douches hadden veel schimmel en we zaten op de 4de verdieping en de eerste dagen deed de lift het niet wat erg vervelend was. Ook deed de enige oven in het hostel het niet. Verder was er in de keuken een koelkast waar je je boodschappen in kon bewaren als je je naam en de datum erop schreef, wij hebben 3 verschillende keren iets in deze koelkast gelegd en alle 3 de keren is het eruit gehaald.

+ Really nice staff who are always available to help + Spacious dorms with comfortable beds (in my experience) +Showers that work really well +Ideal location (right by a tram & metro stop) +Plenty of communal space but... -Kitchen utensils a bit limited -Expensive breakfast (10 euros) -Very limited privacy in the shared dorms i.e. no bed curtains (but this is fairly normal for hostels in my experience) -Lift broken -Could be cool to have some organised hostel events (unless I just hadn't noticed them) -No

good location, but facilities and the room weren't very clean. Also, the toilets/showers were absolutely filthy

Les mauvais points : Différents prix en fonction du jour de la semaine.. Pourquoi ? Pas top… Dans les sanitaires de l’espace capsules : - manque de papier toilette dans les wc - inondations après chaque douches Capsule : système d’ouverture avec carte ne fonctionne pas toujours (carte désactivée régulièrement..) Les bons points : La situation/le lieu Le personnel : sympa et aidant. Merci anyway :)

We only stayed one night but it was great! The staff were really nice and helpful. Comfy beds and the room was big. Easy to get here from Berlin Hbf. The kitchen however was a little too small and not too clean. But if we return to Berlin we will absolutely stay here again!

L'ostello è centralissimo, e il prezzo è davvero economico. I servizi non sono male, sala comune, caffè e tè sempre gratuiti, stanze pulite. Tuttavia il cortile dell'ostello è accessibile dalla strada e chiunque può entrare senza nessun controllo, e questo non mi è piaciuto. La cucina è orribile, sempre sporca e non c'è praticamente niente, piatti e utensili inesistenti, varie volte mi sono ritrovata a mangiare nelle tazze. Inoltre i letti SCRICCHIOLANO talmente tanto che è quasi impossibile dor

Bell'ostello in zona tranquilla e comoda. L'ingresso alle aree comuni (molto carine) è aperto e potrebbe entrare chiunque, nonostante ciò mi sono sempre sentita al sicuro, c'è sempre qualcuno in reception. Stanza semplice, spaziosa, bagno funzionale e pulito, asciugamani su richiesta. Letti purtroppo senza tendine e cuscini scomodi. Personale disponibile e gentile, caffè e the sempre a disposizione. Cucina piccola e poco attrezzata, un po' affollata e sporca negli orari di punta.

Good location

le nettoyage est un peu douteux mais beaucoup moins que ce que les commentaires précédents annonçaient l’auberge est très bien située (on se sent en sécurité dans le quartier) la terrasse et le bar offrent pas mal d’occasion de rencontrer du monde !

The only problem was the kitchen which had barely anything to cook with, everything else was very good, nothing to complain

kitchen has no utensils and is very difficult to cook, the Hostel should buy some more stuff. everything else was reareally good and the staff was really kind

Friendly personal. Capsules are a bit hot at nights, I don't recommend it if you are gonna stay there in summer. The plug in my capsule was not working, I've spoken to the others and they told me theirs were not working either. The personal was so nice and you can feel the nice atmosphere there. I can recommend it especially to solo travellers.

Ostello molto carino e il personale sempre disponibile

Trabalhadores muito simpáticos e prestáveis, casas de banho com muita privacidade e o ambiente era muito acolhedor

My partner and I stayed in the new built cube rooms. It was good for privacy and in theory however no ventilation and it’s extremely EXTREMELY hot. Buy a usb fan if you can before going or the staff should invest in some for hire. There was one staff member who was quite abrupt and rude however the main receptionist was a darling and very assisting. Kitchen facilities great however don’t cook sausages you get in trouble because smoke… would stay again but better in winter maybe.

Stayed for one night, was cheap however most of the staff were quite rude, the beds were old and made a loads of noise every time you moved. The kitchen was filthy and for somewhere that houses a lot of people it only had 4 hobs and 1 sink that were really dirty and had to queue for. We stayed in EastSeven hostel the 2 days before that, would recommend staying there instead.

Habitación 4 chicas y baño espaciosos pero mal gestionado, sucio, destartalado. El ascensor no funcionaba (4ºpiso), la bañera no traga agua, la manija de las ventanas rota. Nos despertaron a la 1 de la mañana por una confusión en la asignación de camas.

Very hot in the pods ! Had to end up leaving the doors open when sleeping because of how stuffy it gets. Kitchen is also very small considering the amount of people staying there. Other from that it’s an easy walk to Berlin and the people there were very nice.

Hostel was fine for the amount we paid for it, good location. The beds were incredibly creaky, the bedding wasn’t up to par and there was some weird stains all over our dorm floor that obviously hadn’t been cleaned properly. We had to wait ages to use the loo or shower, which were very dirty and smelled of strong urine. Staff were helpful and nice enough, we made do with what we had.

We stayed here as part of our backpacking trip through Europe. Really ideal location as was very central to the touristy parts. Bathrooms were always clean. The room itself was nice, however the bed wasn’t the comfiest. Not too noisy. Good vibes with the bar downstairs, we met loads of people here everyone was lovely and was easy to meet new people. Would recommend!

the pods where nice but could literally hear everything around you and beds squeezing made it hard to sleep. overall had a good time

Amazing place, very functional and clean single private room, good and comfortable bed (although pillow could have been better). Cozy and warm atmosphere, there was no crazy parties or mayhem. I felt very safe all the time. My room had a private shower and sink, but toilets were all shared. Staff did an amazing job in toilet cleaning! Staff was kind and friendly, very helpful. One thing I missed was a laundromat. Heart of Gold is a great place to stay in Berlin if you are on a budget.

Good hostel for a few nights. The staff was very friendly. The rooms are large. It's a bit noisy at night from the courtyard and the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner. But the price is okay: you get what you paid for.

We really loved this place, nice bathrooms, great with the kitchen and very friendly staff. We booked the pods in end of June, and it got quite hot during the night - wasn’t all too bad, but could be better. Also it wasn’t as soundproof as we hoped, but maybe we just had high hopes. All in all a very nice place

Staying in the capsules is ok if you're a cool sleeper but if you're a hot sleeper I'd potentially consider another option. The ventilation is very weak. Plus the only charging options are one USB A and one USB C, which if you have extra gear to charge, is vastly insufficient

La posizione é veramente ottimale in pochi minuti a piedi si raggiunge l'isola dei musei. La sala comune dell'ostello, il bar e il cortile interno favoriscono bene l'interazione anche tra viaggiatori solitari. La pulizia buona in camera, ma cucina fuori controllo. Poco fornita di utensili e spesso sporchi. Ci sono pochi piani per poggiate le cose e lo spazio é stretto. I bagni sono ben distribuiti tra i vari piani e puliti.

Not the cleanest rooms and bathrooms but great location and facilities

The bathroom and showers where super nasty, a lot of black mold on the floor and shower curtains

Lovely welcoming staff, very helpful with all needs. Nice location close to both the station and all parts of the city. Cleanliness of bathrooms was terrible, black mould all over the showers, temperature of the showers did not vary and stayed on for less than 10seconds, bathroom light was flickery and the toilet was falling off the wall. Rooms were nice but very hot and stuffy, and not well ventilated. Overall a lovely hostel but definitely needs some improvements around the bathroom areas

This hostel was nice and the staff were very accommodating. There were places to lock bags before or after one had formally checked in to a room, a bar one can get drinks at or take them into a patio area, and a youthful vibe and fun hangout culture. Travelers seemed pretty interested in playing cards or going out together at nights and the staff had helpful suggestions.

The location is very convinent for ppl to go to Musuem Island and train stations to transfer to other buildings or places, and the staffs are very nice to welcome new customers. I like the music style in the lounge-for ppl who don't want to go clubs or outside at night, However, sometimes someone who didn't live here will enter the lounge and make some noises in the campus at the ground floor. The facility is basic and usually the bed would make noises when ppl turn over themselves.

Pretty damn good

very clean, and you can leave your stuff lying around! so that’s awesome. also you can lwk have a private bathroom at times. only thing to consider is the cubes DONT HAVE VENTILATION or air-con, which means you might die of heat during the night, because of body heat or whatever. but for the safety and the semi-private bathroom, i’d still recommend it to friends.

Bathrooms were kinda gross but useable. One of the staff members was having a rough day when I was checking out and had a go at me for not bringing my sheets down which I had already put in the basket at the request of another staff member. Beds were comfy. Location is pretty good.

Good for the money they ask for, but needs some curtains for privacy and more cleanness in the bathrooms.

Honestly not what I expected- the bed was really not comfortable and I don’t think the rooms/bathrooms were cleaned in the two days I was there. My sheets were also dirty. They do have free tea and coffee and the people that work there are very nice and helpful but I think next time I would come back but I would would pay the extra for something nicer since the basic price really is the bare minimum

The hostel is very well located, with restaurants, bakeries, and tourist attractions nearby. The bathroom is questionable, with lots of mold. There's nothing to hang towels or clothes in the shower either. The bare minimum is found in the room (a bed and a locker). Each bed doesn't have an individual light or outlet, and there's nothing to hang clothes or dry towels on. Despite a few drawbacks, I recommend it.

okay nothing more

Globalement une adresse à recommander ! Juste quelques petits détails à la marge comme une literie "grinçante" et des petits déjeuners un peu chers. Sinon, l'emplacement est idéal pour des visites pédestres du coeur de Berlin Je reviendrai volontiers.

The whole place was kinda smelly and the bathrooms were quite dirty. The dorm was ok, but the beds didn’t have curtains and they made this loud noise every time you even slightly moved. Personally wouldn’t stay here again, but the location is good and the staff were really nice. So if you’re not gonna spend a lot of time at the hostel, this might be a good option.

Strittura nel complesso carina, abbiamo dormito in una camerata da 5 che mancava completamente di privacy(servirebbero quantomeno le tendine sui letti). le pulizie venivano effettuate solo 1 volta al giorno e questo rendeva i bagni, soprattutto al mattino, abbastanza sporchi. I phon non funzionano. Il personale comunque è gentilissimo e disponibile per ogni cosa. Da migliorare alcune cose ma se prenotate le capsule invece delle camerate credo sia meglio.

Heart of Gold Hostel in Berlin is a real gem for travelers! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer tips and recommendations for exploring the city. The common areas are perfect for socializing, with plenty of space to relax and meet fellow travelers. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.

Decent location with helpful staff. Found my dorm to be a little empty and with small lockers for my bag.
