We had a wonderful stay in Berlin during the last weekend in Nov. 2009 with visits to both Christmas as well as cosy regular markets. The accommodation at the Elefant B&B was really enjoyable with a spacious room, delicious breakfast and a welcoming “being at home” atmosphere. After return to the room in the afternoon Christmas cookies, chocolate and fruit... more

Rainer and Ole were incredibly kind and welcoming. We felt at home at Pension Elefant which is very central and a cute place to stay. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone:) more

Stayed here during a short city break to Berlin. Reiner is lovely, helpful, informative and friendly. The accommodation is a little run down, they are rooms in a big, old apartment building. There are large wooden doors, high ceilings, lots of character, but in need of a little renovation. Our room was huge, clean and comfortable. The mini bar was... more

Rainer and Ole could not have been more helpful, they picked us up at the airport and took us to their lovely self catering apartment close to the guesthouse. The place was warm, very comfortable and so clean. We loved it. The appartment is only minutes walk from Berlin Zoo and Berlin's best shopping street. The guesthouse itself is only... more

We stayed with Ole and Ranier at the Pension Elephant in September, and my partner and I totally loved the place and Ole and Ranier!!! We stayed in one of the apartments around the corner and it was incredible for the money!! Anyone traveling to Berlin could never do better than staying here, and setting outside having a good German... more

My room was well-equiped and I felt it as my own room. The breakfast was absolutely excellent. It's actually a 3 star Pension. In my next trips to... more

Jumped out the plane at the Berlin Tegel airport, we experienced an unfriendly service at the airport and bus information counters. We then managed to get the city tour card. We got on the bus X9 to Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten. By using the instructions provided by Rainer and Ole in the booking email, we managed to find the pension on... more

Turned out to be a "fussball" tournament in Berlin that weekend, and also a holiday, so hotels were somewhat booked. Pension Elefant was full, but they hooked us up with a private apartment not far away, near Viktoria-Luise-Platz, which is a great little square with U-bahn, nice restaurants, bakery, and small grocery. Everything you need. The owners of Pension Elefant... more

For one more time it was so nice to stay there during my 5-days-vacation in Berlin. The pension makes you feel like home. The friendly and smiling owners in combination with the large, comfortable and clean rooms and all this in a beautiful quiet but very very central street of Berlin (the famous Kurfurstendamm and the historical KaDeWe are only... more
