Stayed here for 2 nights and found it very comfortable. Friendly, welcoming staff. Perfectly clean. Very nice breakfast room (why are breakfast rooms in hotels usually so awful?). And a perfect location. The only downside, as others have pointed out, is that the room I had was a bit small. more

We have just returned from a very enjoyable 3 night stay in the Hotel Elefant. The location could not have been better and I would return here for this reason. The room we had on the third floor was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was adequate for our needs with cereals, fresh fruit salad, a variety of breads and... more

This hotel is in a great location. The hotel is clean and the staff are good. The rooms are poor and the bed is worse. Breakfast is best avoided. There is no bar and the restaurant closes early and is not accommodating. more

We went there just for one night and we wanted something in the middle of things. It was far beyond what we expected. Nice and gentle reception clerks, wonderful bedroom, and excellent location. The only bad thing was the very low (almost japanese-style) bed. more

The central location of this hotel on an atmospheric old street close to so much that we wanted to see and do really enhanced our trip. At the end of the street is the attractive Rathaus (town hall) clock tower, which meant that navigating back to the hotel was easy! The hotel was quite quiet when we stayed. Our room... more

I didn't like this hotel at all! The rooms are build around a central "courtyard" that is about 1.5 square meters. As a consequence the rooms are dark and dismal, to such a degree that my husband had to practically climb out of the window to see the weather!! Even with all lights on I was unable to read a... more

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights early January. I was surprised to find this hotel was in the Altstadt, just around the corner from Getriedegasse. Everything was a short walk away and it was very convenient. When we arrived at the hotel the room they had allocated for us on the top floor had no power and they... more

We spent Christmas 2007 here and it was perfect. Before we arrived, we emailed the hotel with queries and requests for bookings. Herr Mertel & herr Weigl responded quickly and efficiently and everything was done as requested. These two gentlemen were efficient and helpful throughout our visit and made several really helpful suggestions. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.... more

Had a three night stay in this charming old family type hotel. Got to Salzburg by train, then took the #3 bus and got off at Rathaus Platz, from there a two minute walk to the hotel. Splendid room, with a small fridge and a nice ACL flat screen TV, very quiet on the top floor. Internet access in the... more

We just returned from a Christmas trip to Vienna and Salzburg. The Hotel Elefant is located in the center of the old town section. The location was wonderful. All of the churches and main historic attractions were within easy walking distance. This area is full of restaurants and upscale shopping. In our view, staying in this area really made the... more
