“Hüttenpalast” is not a mountain hut offering Swiss delicacies but a hostel and restaurant by Silke Lorenzen and Sarah Vollmer. The duo turned the ground floor of a Neukölln backyard loft into a one-of-a-kind hostel where you lodge in old caravans or little huts and share the dooryard and bathroom with other guests. On the first floor there are the “regular” rooms with enclosed bathrooms. The backyard terrace overlooking their green garden and the restaurant facing the street offering breakfast and daily lunch menus are not exclusive for hostel guests. During my flying visit I had a “Spaghetti Lentil Bolognese” (veggie) which was yummy. And by the way, Hüttenpalast can be rented for events too. So in case you’re looking for a place to party and a place for your friends to sleep in one, here you go: they can hit the hay right away. Prices single booking 40€, double booking 60€.
