Heart Of Gold Hostel

habían ratones en la entrada, colchones muy finos que se sentían las tablas al acostarte, el locker se podía abrir por más que le pudieses candado. Y los puntos positivos son ubicación y cerveza barata

Location was very good but bathrooms and kitchen were gross

Great staff and location. The capsules are isolated, dark and quiet but a bit creaky.

Pros: Cheap, great location, some staff were friendly and helpful cons: At around 22:30 a guy came into the room saying that I was in his bed, turned out the guy in the bunk beneath me wasn't supposed to be in the room - im not sure whose fault it was but it didnt give a good impression on security or organisation The pillows were basically disintegrated and the linen felt cheap but I guess you get what you pay for? Some staff weren't very enthusiastic when I needed help and didn't explain much

very good

we both really enjoyed our stay here. Although short, we felt immediately welcomed by the hostels team. We played card games in kitchen with Hannah and Sam who were lovely! neither of us have ever been to a hostel with such an amazing atmosphere which is created by a team. it is so nice to be with people our age!! will definitely be visiting again. Thank you again - from Georgia & Kitty

Decent location & nice staff. I thought the bathroom/shower facilities were rather basic.

Ok personal.ok.ok

Bei uns hat es im Zimmer mies gestunken trotzdem, dass wir konstant gelüftet haben. Ansonsten war es aber gut. Für soziale Aktivitäten gibt es bessere Hostels

First hostel experience and overall it was very good. Pleasant and helpful staff. One even let me use his phone to contact my banks in America as my bank cards were not working, nor was my phone (God bless him extra). Capsule was a decent size, had C and USB charging ports, a light with a dimmer switch and a mirror in it. Guests were pretty respectful with regards to noise in the sleeping area. Great cleaning staff. Great location!!! Close to many spots I wanted to check out.

The capsule beds made a lot of noises. The blanket and pillow were so bad it seemed that they were picked up from a dumpster and put to use in this hostel (I have a picture and video). The hostel dorm where these capsules were placed, were not clean. The bathrooms and toilets were not clean.

Agréable Rien d'extraordinaire

good cheap one night stay. staff were lovely, room was clean. weird thing with the payment and the deposit to hostelworld not counted?

I went there with my wife and stayed 4 nights. the staff super nice with a great attitude. however the hostal is in very bad conditions. in our room there was a broken bed in use, we received torn sheets and the pillows were in very bad conditions, bathrooms are not very cleaned and had a bad smell, the kitchen was dirty all the time and pots and pans have been in use for thousands of years. I think you can have something better for a couple of euros, we didn't enjoy Berlín because of the hostel

Good value and in a great location

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

best vegan breakfast i have ever seen in a hostel

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.

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

ok not great

it was good in general

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.

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.

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

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
