Reviews of Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin

14 December 2010 Megan would recommend this property

Liked: Within walking distance to Brandenburg Gate, Gerdarmenmarkt, Museum Island etc. Also very close to two train stations. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even gave me breakfast for free. Dorms were toasty warm even though it was very cold outside, spacious and had plenty of lockers. Dorms are a mix of bunks and single beds which I liked because climbing a ladder after a big night out in Berlin is challenging! No eating or drinking in the rooms, but that's ok because you can do it in the bar downstairs, even allowed to bring in drinks you've bought elsewhere. Also love free wifi! Was also able to easily meet other travelers in the bar.

Disliked: Showers turns off after every 20 seconds.

03 December 2010 Paloma would recommend this property

Liked: The location is fantastic and the breakfast in the morning was reaaaaaally nice! There is hot water everytime and the shower is very powerful. There is a nice bar at night (and is far from the dorms, so people who want to sleep don't hear anything at all!) Definetelly, was the best hostel I have ever been!!!

Disliked: The key card wasn't working very well and I didn't like the fact of having 2 showers together in the ladies bathroom. It would give us more privice if they were separeted. I also think that the bathrooms of the mega dorm could be cleaned more often (sometimes the drain was blocked and the water flood)

Disliked: next to an abandoned lot, obnoxious visitors in the mega dorms - don't stay in the mega dorms if you can help it!

Liked: Great Location and breakfast was good

Disliked: Strange layout of room, we booked a 14 bed but they are all joined so it was much bigger and noiser than it should have been. also meant sharing bathrooms with more people. also there was no lock on the shower doors with one of the showers in the girls was a double so showered in panic that somebody mite jump in beside me.

Disliked: Very slow staff and reception

18 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel had a bar, this made it easy to meet people and provided somewhere to relax without going out. The decor was fun and modern, definitely aimed at a younger crowd. It was close to the city centre as well as bars and eateries on Orianenburgerstrasse.

Disliked: The staff were not overly helpful - they didn't rush to help us and did not inform us that there were not sheets on our beds on the first night. The showers were fine on the first day, but unclean on the second day due to the large amount of people using them and a blocked plughole!

17 September 2010

Liked: Close to sights, clubs, bars et cetera

Disliked: Some members of staff were very helpful, others however were not. Staff smoking indoors, while guest can not. Staff ignored us for some time to drink beer, and others were generally dismissive.
