I spend 4 nights in this hostel, in a shared big dorm and it was a really nice stay! Bedrooms and toilets always clean, good breakfest from 8-12 o'clock (a nice time). It just can be a problem if you don't like to sleep in the same bedroom with strangers..

Wonderful themed hostel in a great location. Really good staff and atmosphere to the place. Also, ask about the walking tours which set off from the hostel; they'll give you a great introduction to the city. Would very much recommend both highly.

The hostel is very nice and clean, the people are very nice and the location is great, but we had a major problem. We paid extra for a room with a shower, and the shower leaked every night and no one fixed it although we complained every single night! On the first night our shower leaked and we couldn't fix...

The price is very cheap considering how central this hostel is. Its pretty basic and the rooms are very small, but if you're on a budget and want something central then this is your place! We walked nearly everywhere and there were cafe's nearby for breakfast. Most of the tourist places are very close - museum island, bradenburg gate and... More

I´ve stayed only one night. The guy that checked me in was really really rude and unpolite. The hostel is a hole building, with little rooms in it, that feels like prision. The amount of people circulating are huge, and the ambient is very cold. They charge you for using the computer downstairs (thou you get free wifi), and the... More

Travelling with my friend to Berlin for ITB. We planned to leave on Sunday, the last day of ITB. But my friend became very sick after around noon so we had to postpone our train ride and find a place to stay. I remembered "Heart of Gold" from a stay in 2010. Here I found on a cold winter day...

A very clean, nice hostel, and extremely cheap too. Stayed a total of 3 nights. Located in the city center, so you never had to do much walking to get to Berlin's main attractions. The hostel staff was friendly and gave us good recommendations of places to eat. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed in the "Heart of Gold" Hostel for 2 nights and this is what I think: The Price for one Night is too High for a Hostel. Even at February I payed a lot (not a high touristic time in Berlin) I reserved in the Internet a bed in a 4-Bed Room but when I got there, they put... More
