Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin

I had a lovely stay at Heart of Gold Hostel. The place was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The rooms and common areas were tidy, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. What really stood out was the helpful and kind staff—they were always ready to assist with a smile, whether it was giving directions or recommending places to visit. It’s a great spot for travelers looking for comfort and good vibes. Would definitely come back!

Decent hostel in a nice location, good breakfast! It was very warm, especially in the capsules even with the door and window opened. Would have liked to be able to lock the capsule. Seemed like few bathrooms/toilet, but I never had to wait for them. I like the tea/coffee free of charge.

Stayed in a private room here. The price was decent. The area is nice and central with many things within walking distance. There is an S-bahn station and U-Bahn station near. The room was fairly clean but the beds weren’t super comfortable. It has a nice vibe with many backpackers around. Be careful of leaving too much in the fridge, left some beer in there and it got stolen.

My wife and I had to stay in Berlin for 2 days for work reasons at short notice. This hotel provided us with good accommodations. The price is fair and the location is excellent. There's garage parking available for €10 per night. Other than that, I have no other praise to offer. The hotel isn't exactly stellar, but it's not terrible either. It's sufficient in every way, and that's it. Overall a 3/5.

We booked a private double room for cheap. The hostel was pretty good for the price. The rooms and the bathrooms are clean and the staff is nice and available 24h. Even if there was some noise during the night it was easy to ignore due to the soundproofing of the rooms. The kitchen could be dirty often towards the evening, due to the possible presence of people coming from the outside. Only big complaint, please do something about the beds! They squeak so much that it actually drives you insane after a while. I recommend booking through the website!

I’ve stayed there 5 nights and got mixed feelings really. The common rooms are good, and so is the free tea and coffee. The kitchen is well equipped but would absolutely need more cleaning per day. The oven is broken. The staff was for the most part very nice people. The en-suite was appreciated with a proper shower. They are however cutting corners on some aspects that didn’t sit well with me. The elevator is broken and nobody was working on it that week, and so I had 4 floors to climb each time. My room 403 was equipped with some blinds that couldn’t be closed without tools. When I asked the general manager (or owner) to do it he basically told me off. The whole dorm was therefore awakened with the first ray of lights. The mattresses and pillows are of the cheapest quality possible - the pillows are made of granular material and literally disintegrate. When I asked to change mine I was given one with blood stains, and the mattress was equally full of dubious stain. If they cared more about the hygiene of the beddings, properly blocking light at night and repairing was is broken it would be great. As it is it’s good in common space and less good for sleeping. Also known that depending on which site you book the pictures are quite misleading. The capsules are not what you get by default in a dorm, they are a separate section.

we really liked the hostel and the people. it is very close to the center and alexanderplads. the only thing is that we had to open our cabin door because it was so warm. but otherwise it was pretty good. i wish they could be soundproof or something so you can’t hear the people coming and wandering around, we woke up more than once because of this.

I chose this place for a trip with my teenage son. The place is very friendly, and the staff is excellent. It's in a great location, centrally located, yet away from the hustle and bustle. Good transport access: tram (two stops to the main attractions, but walking is also ok), city train (S), and bus. There's a pleasant patio and a lobby where you can enjoy delicious coffee or tea for free. You can also purchase breakfast or store your luggage for free if needed. My son really liked this place. I recommend it for both long and short trips in Berlin!
