Lock in a great price for Hotel Elefant – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything was as described, very comfortable bed, good shower, spacious room ( double deluxe) quiet, good breakfast, central to everything. Staff very helpful

Patricia, United Kingdom

Elegant hotel in the heart of Salzburg, staff very helpful, love the local environment.

Russell, United States of America

Perfectly located within the downtown walking area. Elefant has a reastaurant that seems to be popular amongst residents and non-residents alike. We, too, enjoyed a lunch on the terrace. The breakfast was moderate.

Jaana, Finland

Good location! Our room was refurbished and had a little bit smell but not enough to effect comfortable sensation . It was quiet as well. The restaurant of hotel elephant serviced traditional Austrian food.The staff of reception was smart and very kindly to let us leave our luggage the day we checked out ，thank you.

Lillianyin, China

We just loved everyone and everything about the hotel!!!

Very very friendly and helpful staff! Great breakfast. Most guests are in their 60s+, which shows that it is a high end, classy, and respectful hotel. Well known hotel in the old town. Very convenient to everywhere! Highly recommended overall!

William, United States of America

The hotel was beautiful, lovely spacious rooms, the elephant theme ran throughout the hotel, loved the curtains, easy to find, location ideal, being only minutes walk from everything including Mozarts birthplace, we had a room on floor 5, so had a view over the rooftops of Salzburg castle, nothing was too much trouble for the receptionists

Mark, United Kingdom

Perfect location in old town to walk to most sites and very close to bus stops.

눉At breakfast, staff only cleared plates after you left table so ended up with a pile whilst you were sitting there in between courses. Not a personal service. Our room was comfortable and clean, but both room and bathroom could do with updating for the cost.
