Expert reviews
“The name Hüttenpalast – which translates loosely as ‘hut palace’ –gives some idea of what to expect from Berlin’s most idiosyncratic accommodation option. It’s a former vacuum cleaner factory in the hip Neukölln district and offers ‘rooms’ in a range of converted vintage caravans and repurposed huts in an indoor setting among fake grass and fairy-lit silver birches.”

Fabulous
It is a lovely idea that the rooms are from camper vans. The bathrooms vere amazingly clean all the time.
You could hear all the other people and it was quite difficult to ventilate the room. In summer it must be extremely hot in there

We stayed in a separate family room. The kids loved the bunk beds and added touches like individual reading lamps and charging points. Very friendly staff and fantastic breakfast. Spacious room with good facilities. Safe and secure location in good proximity to transport and restaurants etc.

In February it was nice and quiet and a lovely central position at a good price. Nice and clean.
Well thought out and very friendly staff
The pillow was not nice and the mattress was a bit too thin for me.

Excellent stay in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Berlin. Highly recommended.
Very large, spacious and clean room - larger than I had anticipated - and well stocked. The team were exceptionally friendly, welcoming and hospitable, flexible with check-in and check-out. Excellent location, local and around the best bars, cafes and restaurants.

Great location, will certainly want to stay in a camper next time!
The bathroom smelled quite bad as we arrived, it got better during the stay though!

Well designed interior, always clean bathroom, comfortable, clean bed and caravan. It was easy to find and get in. The location is good as well, we usually went by foot everywhere, but buses and underground are in a walking distance, airport is not too far. There were a lot of bars and shops nearby.

Wonderful hostel in a good area
It's my first time to staying in hostel and it was absolutely wonderful choice! Great concept, friendly stuff, clean and comfortable bed, quite place. Wonderful little garden. Close to cool bars and metro station. Definitely will recommend this place to my friends.

Clean, spacious rooms in the middle of Neukölln; minimal though friendly staffing
Overall, very clean, spacious, and quiet in Berlin. Very convenient and good value if you want to be in Kreuzberg/Neukölln. I stayed in one of the private hotel rooms, which was nice and well-appointed, but much less charming than the cabins and caravans (which don't have private baths). It was a little tricky for me to figure out the heat, but once I did, the room was toasty. Good coffee (senseo system) in the room. No TV but I couldn't care less. Bathroom: the water pressure was strong and hot water was very hot - the bathroom was excellent other than one issue mentioned below. There is a very nice-looking little garden, but the weather was cold and largely rainy while I was there. The few staff I had contact with were friendly and helpful.
I found it a little odd that the small shower stall had neither door nor curtain - the area of the bathroom just outside the stall got very wet. The bed was firm - a bit hard for me, but that's better than too soft. The main reason I give it less than a perfect rating is the limited check-in and reception hours. No on-site service beyond 9am-6pm, and late check-in is only possible until 10pm. (Early check-out is fine.) That did require me to choose an earlier and more expensive flight than I would have liked. This is clear on their website but it wasn't on Booking.com - so actually I blame Booking.com for this more than the hotel. (They did mention it immediately when I made the booking. If it had been a big problem for me, I could have canceled with no charge.) Late check-in was very easy with advance notice.

Best solo stay ever! Safe, nice, clean and cute :)
Amazing venue! Cutest ho(s)tel I've ever stayed. Very welcoming staff, feels like coming home :) Everything was very neat and clean. One of the cleanest ho(s)tels i've been to!
Matrasses are a little hard for my personal liking, but thats literally the only thing I could think off!

a lovely little camping experience
the caravans
the lack of soundproofing (privacy)
18 October 2023
It was a fun adventure in a great location with very little privacy. Very creative concept. Beautiful shared spaces.
It was in a great neighborhood. It was unpretentious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The common areas of huttenpalast were quite lovely.
I did not fully appreciate how quiet I would have to be because the campers are all close together and very open. There was visual privacy, but no audio privacy. I also did not realize how short the beds would be.

A fun cosy indoor caravan stay!
A brilliant unique idea! Cosy caravans but not exposed to the outdoor weather. Communal areas indoors and out with free tea and coffee.
Location was a in a grimy inner city area But U-Bahns a short walk away.

Funky, fun, and affordable stay in a great location with great staff.
Great location, nice staff, very cool, unique stay. Has cool areas inside and outside to hang and make friends with other travelers. There's a cafe attached with good coffee and food with nice vibes. Close to public transit.
Bed was small, but that's to be expected when you stay in a little camper. You definitely need earplugs if you're a light sleeper because you can hear people walking to the bathroom, zipping up bags, and snoring (also to be expected in a hostel setting).

We had a very good time and would come back any time!
The room and bathroom were very clean. The welcome was exceptionally friendly and we loved the inner courtyard where you can have breakfast or a wine in the evening.
Nothing.

Overall, my wife and l enjoyed our stay. Staff, helped us with local knowledge.
The staff were very helpful, and nice. The garden was a lovely area to hang out in. Very quiet at night, good nights sleep. A very eclectic neighbourhood. Lots of cafes and bars to choose from. Very close to the subway, easy to get around.
If there was more room to place your toiletries on the vanity in the bathroom.

Amazing location, nice cafe attached to the hostel, very clean, lots of natural light, and private! Exceeded expectations and fantastic value for money! Easy check in/out and well located less than 10-minute walk from Hermanplatz.
