Heart Of Gold Hostel

Good value and in a great location

the staff was lovely, and has a grate location, definitely coming here again

The hostel was fine enough to stay , the staff was helpful. I had booked a private capsule but the charging place ( type C ) . Reception said they send someone to fix it, but the type C charging was still not working.

Very nice hostel in the center of Berlin, close to the most important places in the walking distance. Bathrooms are clean and there’s a kitchen to use. Free tea and coffee 24h per day is a nice thing. Beds don’t have curtains which is a drawback.

I stayed for 7 days. It was so good except that the mixed rooms you never know who you’re with as a girl there are men who tend to be touchy. Just mske sure you stand your ground and/or just don’t speak to the men so freely or they can take advantage. But overall the staff were so good… it’s a good place close to everything. As a girl, don’t be too friendly with men. Would definitely come again.

Pretty good value for money. Difficult to sleep at night because of people talking loudly and street noise. It would be good to have some none-smoking tables in the yard. Breakfast just OK.

nice place with very practical guest kitchen and friendly staff.

Paid 100 dollars for 3 days basically just for a comfy bed and an ok location close to main attractions. The room and bathroom stayed dirty even though they’d come in to change the trash. The toilet was dirty, mold(?) on the shower curtain, no soap or paper towels, and the shower drain was clogged so the floor would have puddles of water everywhere. Which would b ok if they’d actually come in and clean, but the entire 3 days I stayed it was disgusting.

Needs to be cleaned properly, also the sheets were dirty.

low cost accomodation, 30 mins from central station. worth to try. however, manage your expectation. your sleep might be distrubed a lot and they dont have doors for their bathroom.

It was very busy. The staff we’re friendly and helpful but definitely overwhelmed and a bit unprofessional. Not the most clean but enough so. I’d say if you are sensitive to cleanliness to pick somewhere else. Great location, everywhere is walkable but it’s not in the middle. Minimal guest kitchen not super well stocked or taken care of. Good big refrigerators for guests to use.

best vegan breakfast i have ever seen in a hostel

It was a nice inexpensive and convenient place to stay. The only concern I had was the slippery shower floor because the granite tile was dangerous-even with just wet feet (actually fell hard on my right side because of this and they were only able to offer ice packs).

La habitación estaba muy sucia y los colchones eran muy incómodos. En mi cama no había ningún enchufe y tuve la mala suerte de tener compañeros y compañeras de habitación muy sucios y que roncaban mucho, se me hizo casi imposible poder descansar bien.

Nice and clean. Staff was friendly.

Mi experiencia de una mediana/larga estancia en el Hostal Heart of Gold ha sido bastante agradable, por no decir increíble.Me ha encantado la cercanía y naturalidad del Staff para tratar con los clientes, es un sitio bastante bien ubicado, tranquilo y perfecto para relacionarse y conocer a gente internacional...He de decir que no tengo nada negativo que comentar , excepto que el jabón de manos de los baños , a veces no va ???? o está vacío ???? y que las camas chirrían una barbaridad..

Single rooms are only capsules, not really rooms. Bathroom facilities are minimal. Sinks have no mirrors.

Well Done

it was good in general

ok not great

Si volviera a Berlín repetiría sin duda, la ubicación perfecta (a 20mins a pie o menos de los sitios turísticos y a 1min de tranvía y metro), tiene cocina (con microondas y nevera) y taquillas gratis y el personal encantador y paciente.

This is an excellent and affordable hostel with almost all facilities. The rooms are spacious and include lockers. Guests can either bring their own padlock or get one from the reception for a €10 refundable deposit. Bed linen is also provided for a €10 refundable deposit. The location is perfect, surrounded by many restaurants and grocery stores. There is a very nice bar and sitting lounge. The only downside is the unorganized kitchen, which needs some attention. Highly recommended.

The sleeping capsules offered some privacy but weren't completely soundproof. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The common area was cozy. The kitchen lacked basic amenities.

Was very good for everything except the bathroom would flood whenever you took a shower.

Die "private capsules", wie man sie aus andern Häusern kennt/schätzt, entpuppten sich in diesem Hostel als freistehende, in Holzplatten gefasste Doppelstockbetten. In einem Dorm mit über 30 Personen! - In dem zusätzlich auch "normale" Betten standen, es war folglich laut. In den Kapseln war jede Bewegung der Person im oberen Bett hörbar, und die Kapsel war dazu dreckig (fleckige Matraze, fusselige Ritzen...). Das Bad war sauber und es gab warmes Wasser - eine Erleichterung an der Stelle.

Prima hostel. De locatie is goed. Onze kamer was vrij warm, zelfs in februari. Zou het niet aanraden in de zomer hier. Keuken was vrij klein en het was vaak dus ook druk. De bedden kraakten wel maar niet veel last van gehad. Hostel zelf is niet zo gezellig op de kamer dus je moet het echt doen voor de locatie.

In de capsules lag je echt lekker allen het leek op de foto’s dat de capsules een andere kamer was dan de mega dorm maar t was allemaal in dezelfde ruimte

I wouldn’t stay here unless you have to. Or are in a private room. The bunks have no curtains or any privacy or light blocking. If people are coming and going all night you won’t get much sleep. You have to make your own bed so people turn the lights on when they check in to the room. The doors and lockers are loud too. I think it would be fine if you were just in town to party and didn’t care about sleeping. But the hostel didnt do anything to create community for partying or getting to know others either.

Fin lokation. Noget dyr morgenmad. 10€, og kun Vegansk pålæg. Kapslerne, som vi sov i var sjove at prøve.

bis auf eine kleine Sache hat mir nix gefehlt. In der App und beim einchecken wurde nicht kommuniziert, wie mit der benutzten Wäsche zu verfahren ist. Das handhabt auch jedes Hostel anders. Dadurch hätte ich fast meine Bahn verpasst.

L’auberge était très bien située avec de grands dortoirs. Les salles de bain étaient aussi grandes et pratiques mais un peu sales cependant. Le personnel était agréable et serviable. Le gros bémol reste la cuisine qui n’est pas du tout adaptée à une auberge aussi grande car trop petite et en manque d’équipements (seulement 4 plaques de cuissons, très peu d’assiettes ou de couverts).

AVOID. No idea why this hostel has such good reviews. No curtains in any of the rooms so no idea how people sleep and you have to walk through many of the dorms to get to the other rooms probably disturbing the poor guest too. I stayed in a ‘pod’ and while it kept out the light it was very stuffy and claustrophobic. It would be unbearable in the summer. The hostel was run down in general and the kitchen was small and broken down. AVOID
