VERY NICE!! everything went well!! although they dont have kitchen, you have to go across the street to the other hostel they cooperate with to borrow the kitchen. It's quite inconvenient! the price is cheap if u have free breakfast (stay more than 3 nights i think) staffs are good, wifi is good (but only in the lobby)

Stayed in the mega dorm over new years, was very clean and suprisingly quiet. The showers were amazing! The bar area was great and didnt mind you drinking your own drinks bought from the supermarket in there. All staff we lovely. The perfect place to stay in an amazing city.

we've booked for nye, which normaly is a very busy holiday, but we had a great time there. great staff and great ambient. we could really feel like staying at the hostel drinkings beers at a long day walking around the city despite sleeping at a 36 bed dorm, i never had to wait to shower, and the bathroom was pretty clean. the breakfast had lots of options, and they had tea, water and coffee available all day for the guests, for free! i would only require for cheaper pubcrawls

Should have Wifi in the room. The security doesnt seem to be good. The main door for the female hostel building can be open to everyone and sometimes the 2nd door to the female hostel is open too. I dont feel very safe sometimes.

Near to Museum Island, best to rent a bike outside a hotel to see the city, which is near to the hostel as well. 4 bed dorm is great, the bunk bed is the most comortable one I have ever tried among the hostels!!

It was very good hostel in exellent location. It took only 20 minutes to get there from airport and it was walking distance away of the centrum. Breakfast was good and I got good help at staff when asking how to go different places. I would gladdly recomment that hostel to my friends.

Great stay at Heart of Gold! Staff were great and very helpful! Location was great as easy to find! Bar/lounge area was really cool with cheap drinks! Good atmosphere overall! I am a hostel manager myself and everything was great! Cheers Heart of Gold! If I'm ever in Berlin again I will stay here again!

A comfortable lounge area, has loads of pamphlets and helpful staff. Free breakfast was top notch! I felt very secure, key card required to get anywhere. Luggage storage was a tad lack-luster, most the lockers were broken, but I left my bag in an unlocked locker and it was fine. Location was great, very close to the train station as well as many sites. Bunks were secure, beds weren't bad. Showers on 1st floor were big, but gave off a sulfuric smell sometimes.

Great atmosphere, really fun bar in the reception area. annoying that there is only wifi in the reception, front desk people could have been a little more informed/helpful, TERRIBLE lighting in the rooms, bathrooms smelled sometimes. clean rooms, and really big rooms was really nice!
