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.”

The room was very clean and well equipped (coffee machine and coffee, kettle, tea bags, hair dryer, extra pillows and blanket). Staff was exceptionally friendly.

Unique place, wonderful people, best breakfast ever!
Hüttenpalast is a wonderful place, run by wonderful people! We had one of the loft rooms, which was spacious, airy, and beautifully designed - simplicity and elegance rather than chintz and velour! Very clean and everything worked perfectly, palatial wet room, and even an espresso machine. The main body of the hotel is of course the ‘Hüttenpalast ‚ a large hall with different vintage caravans and a couple of huts, all vintage chic and cosy sleeping arrangements, surrounded by plants and various benches, French doors opening to the garden where guest can sit whenever the weather allows. We chose the loft rooms, because we wanted a private bathroom. The ‘huts’ and caravans share a couple of bathrooms. We did hanker after staying in one of them next time, though, they looked so cosy and charming! Breakfast is a feast! Overnight oats with many different toppings, organic yogurt , fabulous sourdough bread, jams, Nutella, salami, cheeses, fruits, juices, freshly brewed coffee and loose leaf tea! Even a waffle maker with little jars of ready made batter for making your own waffle! Staff can’t do enough for you, offering more of anything, cheerful, friendly, and chatty - but only if you want to. No empty servility here, just people doing their job with love and care. The complex Hüttenpalast is in comprises artist’s studios and ordinary flats, so although reception is only open until 6 pm, it feels very safe, because people live around you. They will make arrangements if you arrive later, and you get keys once you are there. The area is very multicultural and young, a proper, lived-in quarter. Lots and lots of different restaurants, take-aways , with food from all over the world and in any budget, small shops, and late-night kiosks. My daughter and I both felt safe walking around, and the public transport options are fab, clean, frequent, on time, and cheap!
Better pillows! They were a bit flat and bumpy.

Very good
The concept is amazing! Location is super easy too (easy access to bars, food, public transport) The communication with the staff was flawless, and they were very helpful and flexible to assist you.
I just wish they had some sink or fridge in the communal area, but this one, the cafe of the hotel was super helpful to allow us store our cheese for a bit. The main problem will be the floor, it makes noises no matter how lightly one walks on it. Light sleeper should have earplugs handy, maybe play some white noise in the cabin to help reduce the impact.

Can't wait to come back and send my friends along :)
I loved staying at this special place! The owner(s) waited for me even though I did not expect this and was ready for a quick staff check-in. Throughout my stay, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and made for any taste or need ;) Simply loved this little home gem for travellers in the middle of wild Berlin!

Fabulous
It's a unique and cozy experience
The caravans are in a shared space. Eventhough each one offers an intimate space, it isn't soundproof, so you could still hear some caughs at night etc.

Fabulous
the staff was extremely nice and really accommodating! everything was as described, clean and comfortable. would definitely stay here again!
the only thing that was a bit of a hassle was that we were a bit confused when we ordered food since the 24/7 entrance is a bit tricky but even that was mostly our fault since we didn't ask the staff

Great quirky stay
Stayed in the little silver camper. Was very comfortable and aesthetically beautiful. The shared facilities were clean and spacious. There are separate male and female toilet/shower rooms. There was a kettle and coffee /tea making facilities and water. There were board games, books and information pamphlets for local attractions. The courtyard was a lovely space also.
It’s a shared space, noises can carry quite a lot. Even with noise cancelling headphones on.

A wonderful stay: I didn't know a camper could be so comfortable. Clean, inviting common areas, and regularly cleaned bathrooms. Everyone there was pleasant to interact with. Location is unparalleled, close to transit, nightlife, and amazing food.

Quirky but fun place to stay
It looks strange but it works really well - I stayed in one of the cabins and it was incredibly comfortable and very quiet. Shared toilet/showers are very clean. Arrangements to get in and out of the block are straightforward, while It's in an interesting area with lots of little bars. The staff are great.
It is a little bit eerie visiting the bathroom during the night and hearing your neighbours snoring! You get used to it, though!

Very clean, quirky space with friendly staff
Quirky fitout and very friendly staff - Sylvia was welcoming and provided all the info about the facilities. Also, like a lot of the reviews, bathrooms and bedding were fresh and clean and that also was very welcome.
It's not a negative so much as a comment: it needed a bit of effort to find the first time around.

Brilliant stay, would absolutely recommend to a friend.
We loved the big personality of the communal spaces both inside and outside. The hosts were all really friendly and helpful, as were the staff in the cafe where we had brilliant breakfasts on both mornings of our trip. Our cabin was cosy and private, but it was also fun to sit 'outside' at our bistro table.
Sharing a shower and toilet area is never ideal... But at least it was all very clean and tidy.

We loved the hotel and will return another time.
We loved the whole concept and the surrounding area. The staff was very welcoming, service minded and attentive. The whole place was very tidy and clean. The terrasse full of flowering plants and so charming.
Would be lovely with breakfast included.

Adorable hostel with lovel staff!
The receptionist was so lovely and the caravans are adorable. There was a surprisingly comfortable amount of space and the available tea and water in the outside communal area are a really nice touch. There were people in three other caravans but we never came across them in the shower space / bathrooms so it felt a lot more private than most hostels too.
The mattress is very thin and the pillows are uncomfortable. the issue isn’t enough to have prevented us from sleeping but it did slightly reduce the cosiness.

It was charmingly decorated and very clean.
No sound isolation whatsoever, noise waking us at night repeatedly, even though the other guests were not a loud crowd.

I was enchanted by the atmosphere and comfort of the place.
The place was very clean and comfortable, as I was travelling alone it was great to be in a very friendly environment. I stayed in wooden house inside but there were another two people staying, which made me feel safe. The atmosphere was very nice, I would even say you feel like at home. There is possiblility to make yourself coffee and tea, but you can also order food and drink. The patio is cosy and pretty. The bed was very comfortable. I recommend this place.
all was good

Highly recommended for one or two people looking for nice and cozy camp-like place in the centre of Berlin
This place has a unique style and character! This small yet very cozy cabins for sleep are just perfect: as if you live in a camp or smth like that. The garden is beautiful and full of light. The owner is a very nice person passionate about her work. And her dog is just a cutie <3

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

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.

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.
