Open 24 hours, no curfew, no lockout, credit card accepted, pool table, open all year, centrally located, and with super friendly staff. The Heart of Gold is named after the spaceship in the novel Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and is just as wacky and wonderful as its moniker suggests.

They serve a rather excellent all you can eat buffet breakfast each morning for the bargain price of €3, and are also a daily pickup point for the legendary Brewer's Berlin Walking Tours.

Meaning that when you eventually rumble out of bed someone will already be there waiting to take you around the city and fill your head with interesting stuff.

Price examples
6 bed dorm for 17 euro per night per person
7 bed dorm for 14 euro per night per person

Why is it a good choice for a budget traveller?
