We stayed at this centrally located hotel in Salzberg, but our visit was spoiled by the man on the reception desk who was rude, arrogant and having a grump crisis. Is he always like this, and if so how does he get away with it? He gave us a room as if it was some priceless jewel and the room... more

A combination of a great location and a friendly staff made our stay at the Elefant spectacular. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable...still in 'old Salzburg' but within walking distance of the train station and all major attractions. The staff was extremely helpful and spot on about all dining and sight seeing recommendations. The breakfast provided by the Elefant... more

My husband and I both studied abroad for a semester in Salzburg years ago and wanted to relive the experience. Staying at the Hotel Elefant helped to make our trip! It's right off the main shopping street - the Getreidegasse - and in the heart of downtown. You can walk to ANY of the main destinations. The service was great... more

Just got back from staying at this hotel and it is a perfect location, right in the heart of the old town. We walked easily to EVERYTHING in old town. Walked to the Mirabell Gardens less than 10 mins. We stayed in a double room and it was perfect. They have nice bedding and pillows. The room is a good... more

I believe it was the... more

You could not find a more centrally located, yet quiet hotel or a friendlier more efficient staff. Our 5th floor room was spacious with a balcony and separate sitting room. We never had time to watch tv, but there was one in each room. We enjoyed staying ther so much, we opted for an extra night and were moved to... more

Staff were friendly and helpful and the included buffet breakfast was excellent, with a nice selection of hot and cold dishes. I... more

Hotel Elefant is in the middle of "Old Salzburg". Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff from the kitchen/waitstaff to the front desk. The breakfast was our best in Europe. The first morning, they ran out of orange juice. The kitchen staff squeezed fresh oranges for us and brought a whole pitcher! Rooms had air conditioning, comfortable beds, clean and pleasant... more

We picked the hotel based on its location and comments made by former guests. It delivered a memorable stay over our 4 day visit. The service provided was thorough and very helpful. We arrived before our room was ready(we were early) but our bags were immediately placed in the room and we adjourned to the restaurant for a light lunch.... more
