Elephants by their very nature are large, the Best Western Elefant is not, especially the room we stayed in (306), and in particular the bathroom. To be fair it is an old building, so very quaint. Still, with so much to see and do in Salzburg, you hopefully won't spend much time in your hotel room. The dining room is... More

We stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary and what everyone else has already said in their reviews about location is true. It's hard to imagine a place more in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Salzburg. Driving in cost us an extra hour (no kidding!) just to find the way in to drop off our bags. Our... More

We really enjoyed this hotel. Salzburg was our least favorite town on this Europe trip (too commercialized), but we still walked the whole town, and we really enjoyed this hotel. Our room was lovely, great bathroom/shower, nice toiletries, lots of towels, very clean. The common room for using the internet was wonderful, and the breakfast and breakfast room were also... More

This was the perfect hotel for a magical Christmas in Salzburg. Perfect location, great staff, warm and comfortable beds, bountiful delicious breakfast. The room we had was so tiny one person had to climb over the bed to get to the other side but it really didn't matter since every comfort was addressed. Loved all the energy saving features like...

We didn't stay at this hotel when we were in Salzburg over the holidays, however we did have Christmas Eve dinner reservations here (or so we thought) booked by the hotel we were staying at. However, after arriving at our scheduled time for dinner we discovered that the reservation was never made by our hotel. Of course, every place in... More

We took the train from Vienna and arrived in Salzburg Hbf (central train station). At the station tourist office we were told to catch bus NO. 3,5 or 6 from stand B/C; get off after the bridge and walked to the hotel. We also picked up a copy of the city map...We got off at the stop after the bridge... More

A lovely hotel with character, situated in the historic pedestrianized (apart from taxis) area of Salzburg. The room was excellent, with a small lobby as you entered, a sitting area with chairs, coffee table & TV & then the sleeping area. The room was compact but tastefully furnished. The bathroom & toilet were separated, always useful. Our two windows faced... More

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
