Berlin: Backyard camping and indoor chalets for tourists

Where else would you find such a crazy idea, manifesting and screaming for success if not in Berlin? The neighbors of the most hip areas of Berlin are not that happy anymore with all those tourists that are invading their streets, making them feel like animals in a zoo. In trendy Neukölln, this might also become the case where the "Hüttenpalast" (hut palace) will open end of this month. The idea is so unique that you just want to go and have a look at it. At what?
At camping in the back yard or the indoor chalets.

The Hüttenpalast is a hostel that offers camping vans for 12 people for 30 EUR /night /person. If you prefer something a bit more civic you can also sleep next door int the hotel for 80 EUR /night /room. Chances are, that this will be another success in the area, but many fear that tourists looking for party will at the end not help the district to appear more civilised.
