The staff were friendly & funny, they felt authentic, people whom just be themselves and not care what people think; which I enjoyed as it gave the place more personality. The location is the best o could have stayed in, central to all the museums, clubs and restaurants, travel etc: Staff were fluent in English which eased my stay
There was no air con, there was breakfast included but I didn’t feel for me that there was much options available. The toilets are shared with a lot of people who don’t look after it while they stay, so often the floor was soaked and smelt (this isn’t anything bad in the property but maybe something in place to help keep it clean would help)

Communal kitchen which actually strives to accommodate multiple guests AND, yes, staff actively routinely clear out the refrigerators and trash bins so the space remains clean and inviting. Good Wifi for my purposes. Able to leave luggage for safe-keeping. Free coffee & tea (and water) in the lobby throughout the day. Relatively uncomplicated check-in.
Overly chatty employees; whistling is something that ought never be done on the job around others. It's an annoying activity to everyone but the whistler.

I loved the main lobby/lounge area. It was very cozy, and after a long night, it was a perfect place to spend a few minutes chatting with friends before they left for their own places. My room was quite alright, and I liked the graffiti on the wall. The kitchen was a nice edition and it was not very clear going to the rooms wich made me feel same in return.
I would have preferred a bathroom attached to the room itself and a hanger to hang my clothes on instead of just leaving them in the sink. Someone also stole my body wash, and sleeping was difficult due to snoring, but that isn't really the place's fault.

Location is great. Quite place. The common area is very cozy. The room was clean.
The room was huge and there were 38 beds. I didn't expect that many. if you click on photo gallery, you'll see rooms with 6 beds, so as I expected. And only 1 bathroom for women. Creaking beds.

The location was good, in the center, close to Tram station The breakfast was buffet, they had a lot of vegan options The garden was amazing, people could eat there or just hang out ( a little bit sad that they close it that early)
The pillow was awful, it was nothing similar to a pillow The bed and sheets were comfy but couldn't sleep that well because of the quality The person that helped me with my check in was very rude, he was rushing me and didn't give more information about the place Personally i didn't like that all the rooms are mixed, i suggest to give the option if someone prefers a female bedroom I was lucky because in my room we all happened to be girls but as a solo traveling girl, it may be comfortable for us to be sure about the bedroom

Great hostel - in the heart of Berlin in walking distance to many of sightseeings, also easy to get from the airport with s9, - has special spirit: so nice music playing in the lobby, the stuff is friendly and always there for you, - the breakfast is simple but enough not to feel hungry teel the evening, - there is a kitchen as well where you can cook and fridges to leave food (don't forget to put the note with your room and date of departure), - absolutely safe, - tea and coffee is free, - definitely fits for travelers, who want to discover the city. I didn't have high expectations about the room but it was cosy and had everything I needed,, the bed was also nice, the only thing is that it makes sound tracking for every your movement, but I was fine with it. It's nice that there is a shower and wash stand in the room, toilet in the common area was also okay.

I had a single room and I liked that you can regulate heating and there are shower and sink in the room. Nice lounge near reception. Breakfast was not bad - you can make sandwiches and have milk with cereals.
For this price you get the cheapest furniture, bed sheets and pillow. It was noisy almost all the time, people were talking in the corridor, drying hair and you can hear it all regardless of day/night time. One day ladies who were serving breakfast were rude with me for no reason and tried to convince me that I don’t have breakfast included and I won’t have that. Luckily the receptionist fixed the situation quickly.

-Highly recommended -Very clean (Lobby,Rooms and bathroom) every thing is clean and tidy 🔥🔥🔥 - Hostel nearest all the historical places in Berlin and there is a Merto nearest the hostel 3 Min walk. - there is a supermarket nearest the hostel
- Mixed rooms ( Boys & Girls ) at the same room - Staff need to be smiling person ( need some training about that This recommendation for Managment only. To be honest the guy I meet him in the first day during my check - in he is energetic and smiling unfortunately this the only one I saw him smiling 😞

Top notch location and you could walk anywhere (almost), or catch public transport easy enough. A free tea/coffee at any time was particularly good. It did a breakfast which was not exciting but was adequate for the day. They just about ticked each box of available essentials. I prefer that than finding a place to eat out each morning. Staff were pleasant and helpful. A good atmosphere here of transient people, many young (others did appear to be out of their comfort zone here). Music was played all day, which was lower during the day and ramped up in the evening, which gave it a clubby feel as the lights went low too. Music was mostly modern music of many styles. I was OK with this, but if you prefer softer music, you wouldn't spend too much time in that area and would be up in your room.
They could have (more?) separated toilets from the showers, as people were in the shower for "ages" in the morning and all I wanted was a quick pee. The pillow was not what I would call a pillow, but sufficed. The room was dark and very difficult to read as the bed light was not working. Not that it's a bad thing - but it did have a few people there who seem to be using the communal seating area as an office. I was having breakfast next to a guy who seemed to be having a business "telephone" discussion and after I returned from a day out they were still there in the same place (every day I was there too) - Just to let you know of the vibe here really.

Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin: A Solid Stay Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently stayed at Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin and had a pleasant experience overall. The hostel's location was convenient, putting me within easy reach of popular attractions and public transportation. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea. While I didn't have any major issues, I thought the rooms could have been a bit more spacious. Pros: * Great location * Clean facilities * Free coffee and tea Cons: * Rooms could be more spacious Overall, I would recommend Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin to budget-conscious travelers looking for a comfortable and affordable stay in Berlin.
