“Needs to work on matress”

We were overall happy with hotel. Location was great. Buffet was fabulous. But the mattresses were limp - the twin beds pushed together for my husband and me had matresses that differed in depth by two inches and had little support. Pillows were really skimpy too, and I generally like a skimpy pillow. Had to use two just to keep your head elevated 2 inches.

“Such a nice place and couldn't be in a better location. Would stay here again if in Salzburg”

Iris on the front desk was so friendly and accommodating and spoke perfect english. The other fellows were also very nice. This place is a half block off the main pedestrian street but is very quiet. We booked a king room to ensure we had lots of room and we were not disappointed. The breakfast was great and had everything you could want (eggs, bacon, yoghurt, juice, croissants, breads, jams, cereal selections, and others), was a lovely large room with very friendly staff. We were there for 4 days and found all the places to see very walkable. A very nice compact little city with lots of little things going on which can be experienced simply by walking around. Don't forget to see some of the city area accross the bridge on your way to the Mozart-Wohnhaus and Mirabell Gardens. Just walking around investigating and finding places was a pleasure including along the river bank. Some good places we ate or snacked at were: Konditorie Furst for coffe & pastry (also home of first Mozart Ball), Stern Biergarten, Cafe Getreidegasse, Nordsee which had surprisingly good seafood for a type of self-serve place. The hotel restaurant itself was also quite good. We really liked the beers in Austria which says a lot when my wife also enjoyed them.

“Fantastic experience”

Great location in the heart of Salzburg's old town district. Lots of cafe's and restaurants within walking distance. There's great shopping both name brand and souvenir. It's just a short taxi ride to Salzburg's main train station. The room was smaller in size but the furnishings were nice and it was clean. The front desk and breakfast staff were extremely helpful in all matters.

“I just recommended Hotel Elefant to my best friend”

Hotel Elefant is an excellent place to stay in Salzburg. From the location, to the room comforts, the service, etc., you can't beat it. Iris, at the front desk could not have been more helpful. It is an excellent value. If I have the opportunity to visit Salzburg again, I know where I'll be staying.

“not for the disabled”

picked hotel because it is in the old city....but its difficult to get to and the car has to be parked a long way from the hotel

“salzburg gem”

My wife and 12 year old daughter stayed in this hotel for a three day visit to Salzburg. Excellent location in the Old Town. Easy walking access to the Salz River, University Platz, Dom, and Fortress. Well maintained. Great front desk. Excellent hot breakfast. Would stay in hotel on our next trip.

“A Hidden Gem”

The Hotel Elefant is a wonderful little boutique hotel right in the center of the old town in Salzburg. You can walk to everything. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and provided good advice for local restaurants and things to see and do. Don't forget to ask them about how it came to be call Hotel Elefant because it's a great story. Highly recommend it.

“This hotel is attractive, very comfortable and relaxing and conveniently located.”

I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Our room was very comfortable as well as attractive and the hotel interior is also very good looking. Excellent location in the heart of the "Alt Stadt." The breakfast offered many choices in the European style plus some American choices. The staff was extremely helpful answering our questions and giving us good direction. I will recommend this hotel. Also enjoyed a lovely dinner in the hotel dining room our first night in Salzburg.

“Look no further.”

Hotel Elefant was excellent. The location is perfect and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The room was very nice and had a great bathroom. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and the food was above average. The breakfast every morning was excellent as well.
