the only draw back was that they messed up our reservation. we reserved thru email, and they didnt have a room available. other then that, clean, helpful, friendly staff. good environment. more

I stayed in this hostel for one night. Had originally booked for 2 nights, at 45 euros per night (this I think would have gotten me a very decent room in many other hostels in berlin), but had to check out the following day as I was very disappointed with the place. This was despite its very good reviews in... more

We stayed at Heart of Gold for one night in a six person room. The hostel is clean, secure lockers are provided in every room and the location is unbeatable. It was within walking distance of many of the things we wanted to see, including Museum Isle. Even the bathrooms are nice. The staff was helpful and bilingual (a huge... more

Very cool hostel in Berlin. Lots of backpackers and young travelers seem to stay here...and it's themed after 'hitchhickers guide to the galaxy." They have a fun reception area, with tons of info on Berlin, a pool table, large screen TV to watch soccer, and most important - a bar! The rooms are decent, brought my own sheets which was... more

Many reviews have been coming down hard on this place for being too loud or not clean enough. Well here's the deal; this is a HOSTEL not a HOTEL. As a hostel, I feel Heart of Gold was more than adequate and for the price you pay, is a great deal! As a mid 20's traveler on a budget and... more

Great, clean rooms, pleanty of clean toilets, cheap and everyone is friendly. I went here with my best friend and we stayed almost a week, we loved it! Breakfast id quite good, the internet is quite cheap and not normally much of a wait to get on the computors, drinks were prices fairly and we loved our stay!! more

The room was hardly what we paid for, compared to other Berlin hostels. The room was depressing with really misleading pictures in thr homepage, altough the place was clean one of our beds was full of stains. There has got to be a really stingy person behind all this as well, as the private rooms had no toilets and all... more

The Heart of Gold is a great hostel. As long as you know you are booking budget accomodation then you should not be disappointed. I can't comment on the dorm rooms as we had booked an ensuite twin room. The only negative about the whole experience was finding out that ensuite rooms have a private shower and sink, but no... more
