Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin

Ich habe dort den Netzteil meiner Kamera vergessen und sie haben es gefunden und für mich 2 Wochen benalten. Heute habe ich es abgeholt. Ich bin dankbar.

Ich wurde freundlich empfangen und konnte mein Gepäck bis zum definitiven Check-in mit einem Schloss im Warteraum befestigen. Die Reception ist 24/7 bedient. Im Gang zum Zimmer roch es stark nach indischen Düften. Die Zimmer sind sehr ringhörig, man hört die Personen auf dem selben Stock herumlaufen. Ab 22.00 halten sich alle an die streng geforderte Nachtruhe. In meinem Einzelzimmer hatte ich eine sauber Dusche und ein sauberes Waschbecken. Das metallige IKEA BEtt war eher unbequem und quitschend, die Kisen waren total alt und die Füllung in einzelne Flocken zerfallen. Das Bett muss selber bezogen werden. Die Bettwäsche war nicht wie angekündigt auf dem Bett, ich musste diese in der Reception verlangen. Sie wurde mir darauf hin ins ZImmer gebracht. Gute Lage, für das GEbotene eher genug teuer. Für EUR 5.00 gibt es Frühstück, habe ich jedoch nicht ausprobiert. Kaffee und Tee gibt es immer kostenlos!

Great place,great people,great 3 days spent here

Excellent

Location was the best thing. Right in the centre, next to the New Synagogue, it’s within walking distance (about 10-minute walk) to anything in Berlin Centre, such as Alexanderplatz or Reichstag. It was a nice and calm place. The staff there were really friendly, always helping you in case of needing it. We were originally five, but due to personal reasons, one of the friends couldn’t make it, so when we informed the staff about this situation, they were completely ok with it (obviously they didn’t give the money back, but it was understandable as we informed on the day we got there). Breakfast is ok, worth it for 5€, as it’s a buffet, and you can eat as much food as you want, but it did lack a bit of choice to be honest, it included bread, jam, butter, cereals, yogurt, fruit and some orange juice. Although whenever you wanted you could have free coffee, tea, or water throughout the day, which was very generous. They have a happy hour which everyone really enjoyed! The WiFi works great, and kitchen facilities are good! The room was clean, bed sheets and towels provided, and quite spacious. But be aware cleaning staff do enter throughout the day, which we were not informed about and really didn’t want them to. The bathroom facilities were not bad, but could have been better, as the two showers next to our bedroom didn’t work, so we had to go over to the other side, but they were clean, which is the main thing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
