We received a very warm welcome from Ole and Rainer. They lent us a guide book and map of Berlin. Our room was quite spacious and homey--not like a hotel. Having the toilet/shower on the hall was never a problem. The breakfast was simple but good, and they accommodated our vegetarian/vegan diets. It was the only place we've ever been... more

The two hosts, Rainer and Ole, welcomed me so friendly that I had almost forgotten that I had been a bit nervous before coming to Berlin. I stayed 5 nights at the Elefant. My room had high ceilings and a tall window to the backyard, and very quiet and comfortable. I mostly liked the breakfast which started a little late... more

Late arrival no problem: we were welcomed with a big smile by the owners in the middle of the night. Rainer and Ole were very friendly and helpfull, sometimes it even felt they were a bit overattentive. We ve rented 2 of their rooms for 2 nights: our rooms were humoungous, clean and cosy. Once you arrive at understanding the... more

We stayed at the very comfortable apartment on Motzrasse, which is about 7 mins walk to Pension Elefant itself. My fiance and I simply loved the apartment. It is bright and airy, as well as stylishly furnished. The living room has a sofa double bed and another single bed. The bathroom is nicely laid out and it has a washing... more

While this is ok for a short stay, it appears a bit rundown in my opinion. While the location is quite good, the noise of the street really became bothersome after a few hours. The rooms were decorated nicely however the beds were as hard as a rock. Ouch. The owners were very nice and recommended some good locations however... more

This place is really nice, big open rooms and near the tube and shopping. Ole and Rainer are the most wonderful people, Rainer made breakfast to our family every morning and was very helpful concerning sightseeing and our comfort. We were the only ones staying at the pension at this time and enjoyed every minute. If we'll be back in... more

Rainer and Ole are fabulous. They are excellents hosts, helpful in every aspect and they provide a warm atmosphere. The Pension and the appartment are very well equipped. It is clean and cosy and the rates are well worth the money. Every day they bake their own fresh bread. Pension Elefant is located in the middle of everything. Almost all... more

Ditto on the great reviews others have written before me. Our charming hosts provided us with great tips of what to see and how best to get there, taking into consideration our limited time in the city. For me, cleanliness counts more than what an overnight place looks like. At Pension Elefant, not only were the facilities impeccably clean, but... more

My partner and I spent two wonderful nights at the Pension Elefant in September 08 and would/will stay there again when we go back to Berlin. The room was large and clean, the beds comfortable and with two bathrooms for the three bedrooms on our floor, I never had to wait to use it. The location is perfect too -... more
