Hostelworld says:

Heart of Gold Hostel is located just off Friedrichstrasse, a short walk to Alexanderplatz, Museum Island, Brandenburg Gate and the Bundestag. This hostel has spacious and clean rooms and a common room which is 'great for meeting other travellers with a game of pool and cheap beers', according to Hostelworld guests, who also say they'd recommend it to friends. We like their colourful and unique murals.

  • Heart of Gold Hostel says

    We were really inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when we created this hostel. There's a real 'Don't Panic!' backpacker/party atmosphere here. We're in walking distance of almost all sights, like the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Jewish Synagoge, Museums Island, Checkpoint Charlie and more. The famous former artists' squat (now artists' studios) Kunsthaus Tacheles is just 500m from us!
    For fun around here we've got a pool table, happy hour in the summer in our beer garden and movies on the big screen in the winter.
    Most of our guests are aged 18 to 27 and we cater to people with special needs or disabilities.

    Hostel with a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme; awesome! Dorms are cheap, spacious (seriously, you get a massive room and if you're lucky, a single bed) and comfy. Breakfast is a little pricey for what you get, but free towels makes up for it. Cheap beer at the bar, comfy armchairs and a big outdoor area. Great value.
