We stayed here may 2013 as I wanted to stay somewhere with character. I was happy that it delivered everything I was hoping for. The staff were excellent and very welcoming. We arrived very early but we were still able to check straight in. Nothing was a problem. Our room while quite small was very nice and comfortable. It was... More

I have mixed feelings about out stay at the Hotel Elefant, people were friendly, location is great. It is in a no vehicle zone but taxis can unload you right at the door. The building itself is very old, been there 700 years so you know the halls and foyer are dated. They have done pretty well with the rooms.... More

Stayed here with some friends. Very happy overall though some rooms were quite small for the price. Decent breakfast. Location though is hard to beat and the women who work at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Less so the older gentlemen.

Great location right in the centre of Salzburg. Very helpful staff lovely rooms with separate seating area and English TV channels. The room had separate Wc and bathrooms and a very good shower. The bed was really comfy. Breakfast was great plenty of everything and the service was really quick. I wish we had stayed here longer as it was... More

We stayed one night at Hotel Elefant in early April as a family of 4 (2 kids ages 6 and 4). This is a lovely hotel with a lot of charm, history and wonderful concierge service by Stefanie. She gave us great recommendations for restaurants (both as a couple and as a family) and found us a babysitter - all... More

Rooms are small but clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant on site serves tasty food. As you step out the front door you are right in the heart of the bustle and charm of the old city. Perfect location and close to everything you want to see.

What a great place to stay in Salzburg. Right in the heart of old Salzburg, the Elefant is clean, friendly and spacious, something not often found in Europe. Easy walk to lots of places to eat and shop. Bus and taxi are easy and inexpensive. The complimentary breakfast was very good with a nice selection, attended by two clean cut,... More

Rooms are clean, breakfast is great, and the service staff are friendly. We travelled with my family and had a wonderful stay, partly because the location is right in the heart of the Old portion of the city. It's a bit of a hike from the train station, but we were able to do it by taking it slow with... More

We took a quick side trip on our recent european vacation and wanted to stay in a location where walking was the best option. This hotel was right in the heart of Old Town and we loved everything about it. It definitely had a european feel to it and the rooms were not large, but so quaint. Bathrooms were good... More

We stayed here for three nights on a city break. The hotel is beautiful in a very understated way; our superior room was large and comfortable and the breakfast room and breakfast were fantastic. The best thing is undoubtedly the location, right in the middle of the Old Town with bus stops and Tomeselli's virtually next door. My only slight... More
