La ubicación y la atención!
Location is great. Room was large enough for a family of 3 or 4. Good hotel.
Don't pay extra for city view. The buildings are so close to each other, so there isn't much of a view. Staff was ok. The initial guy didn't inform us about the free public transportation pass that all hotels provide you. Thank goodness I happen to read about it on google ahead of time by coincidence. When I asked the other receptionist the next day he seemed super irritated that the first guy didn't provide it and kept on hounding on it. I don't know, just made me feel a little edgy. Overall, I think friendliness was ok. Austrians aren't known for there bubbly personalities, so I would say, staff wasn't unfriendly, but could improve a little. Just some minor things to note.
sehr gute Lage in der Altstadt, Bett sehr bequem, Räumlichkeiten sehr großzügig geschnitten
Es ist schade, dass man die Gästekarte für kostenlose Nutzung des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs nicht beim Check in automatisch erhält, sondern erst am nächsten Morgen auf Nachfrage.
Location, modern room and friendly / helpful staff
Camera molto spaziosa ed elegante. Perfetta per 4 persone. Dotata di tutti i comfort. Bagno ampio e confortevole. Posizione centralissima. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Niente. Tutto oltre le aspettative
Sehr höfliche und gut ausgebildete Mitarbeiter:innen! Profis am Werk!
Cleanness and location
There was no facilities in the rooms
酒店位置很好,就在老城中,走路去公交车站大概4分钟。
酒店大楼年代较久,电梯较小,部分房间需要乘坐2次电梯。
המיקום
When we arrived at the hotel, we were surprised to discover that reaching the room required climbing stairs. Only after I explained that I was with an elderly woman was a solution found and we were moved to a room with elevator access. It was unpleasant that we had to argue about it. The mattress in the bed was very old, sunken, we woke up at night due to discomfort. The sheet had annoying fabric balls and had to be replaced, the towels were very old, thin and worn, the soap in the shower ran out, they didn't replace it and we had to take soap in a glass from the one above the sink. The hallways had an old smell of a place that wasn't ventilated enough. The receptionists didn't explain to us and didn't give us the vouchers for public transportation in the city on the day of arrival, I learned about this from one of the guests and only on the second day, when I contacted the receptionist, did he give me the vouchers. When it comes to a benefit for hotel guests, I expect to receive it on the day of arrival.
L'albergo è centrale, pulito, confortevole
per oltre 400 euro a notte non mi è piaciuto il soffitto basso (sottotetto) e il rumore continuo di un ventilatore (non il mio) tutta la notte
Sehr nettes Personal. Leider das Restaurant hat um 23 Uhr keinen warmen Tee oder Kakao anbieten können weil die Kaffee Maschinen waren schon sauber. Wasser zum Tee könnte nur aus der Leitung kommen. Außergewöhnliche Aussage des jungen Personal. Schade.Sonst Hotel ist nur bestens zu bewerten!
Die Lage ist top, auch das Frühstück war wunderbar (sehr nettes Ambiente)
Das Zimmer war sehr klein man hatte neben dem Bett kaum Platz sich umzudrehen, auch das Bad war sehr eng mit quasi keinen Abstellflächen. Es roch am Beginn feucht - muffelig. Durch das einschalten der Klimaanlage besserte sich der Geruch.
A beautiful hotel immaculate with lovely staff and fantastic location situated in the centre of town
I don’t have any complaints at all.
Styl, Lage, Comfort und das nette Personal
The hotel is right in the old town of Salzburg, perfectly located for the festival, even if you need help walking. Rooms are very clean with no carpets: good if you have allergies. If needed, make sure to ask for accessible room, as some of the rooms require passing stairs.
Central
Location, very helpful staff. It had its own restaurant as well.
Room was small but as a solo traveller- I managed.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und reichhaltig. Ich habe nichts vermisst. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist super.
Location it’s in the downtown.
It’s far from the parking so you need to walk with your luggage for 10-15 minutes which is difficult. If your room has a city view then you have to change elevators to reach your room and it’s confusing and if you have a baby with stroller it’s another level of difficulties.
Ótima localização, bem no centro histórico. Atrações muito perto podendo ser feito os percursos a pé. Quarto espaçoso para uma família com 4 pessoas. Quarto climatizado e bem limpo. Funcionários atenciosos.
alles perfekt
Die Kleiderhaken im Kasten: Stange zu hoch, Aufhängen der Kleidungstücke schwieirig
Spacious and comfortable rooms. Excellent and helpful staff. Great location.
It was perfect !
Gute Lage, Ausstattung war gut.
Zimmer zu eng- man fiel quasi ins Bett, wenn man zur Tür reinkam. War sehr eng. Dafür war der Preis doch recht hoch.
Incredible Location in the city centre, within walking distance from all the main central attractions. Clean hotel, great for a short city stay
n/a
Anmält matallergi för frukosten i förväg- mycket begränsade möjligheter att äta. Vårt rum låg långt bort- svårt att orientera sig.
Die Lage ist absolut top
Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Zwischen Wand und Fußende Bett waren max 20 cm um zum Fenster bzw zur anderen bettseite zu gelangen. Nur im seitlichen gehen möglich. Die Duschwand war ausgehängt und man konnte sie daher nicht schließen. Für den Preis von rund 300 Euro doch eher Sub Standard.
親切です。コンセントをお借りしたり、荷物を預かってくださったり、とても助かりました。エアコンがあり酷暑でも快適です。私は耳が遠く英語もあまり聞き取れませんが、私のようなつたない英語でも、一所懸命話を聞いてくださり安心しました。ホテル内でも迷っていたら、ベッドメイキング中のスタッフさんが、優しく案内してくださいました。本当にありがとうございました。
The room was modern and very comfortable -staff was super nice too! The hotel was nicer than I expected, not bad value at all for the money during that period in Salzburg. Location is fantastic and I felt very well there!
AC was not 18 degrees :) I was quite warm in the room....
יקום מצוין מאד
Perfekt beliggenhet og flott hotell

Sehr schönes Hotel, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt! Nettes, hilfsbereites Personal und hervorragende Küche! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Einfach alles, ein sehe geschmackvoll ausgestattetes Hotel
Fällt mir nix ein
posizione fantastica. stanza grande. se dovessimo tornare a salisburgo sicuramente prenoteremo di nuovo l’hotel elefant
nulla da criticare
Sehr freundlich
Very well located hotel with friendly staff. My inner courtyard room was quiet and spacious.
Nothing!
The location was wonderful. The room was big and everything was comfortable.
The older man at reception was very short and unclear about confusing directions to get to the room. Other guests felt the same. Rooms were in two attached buildings with two elevators and two sets of stairs to get to the room. He also said, "I don't know about the marionette theater, or stairs there, just Google it. I'm working", like I was bothering him!? I had to ask for a town map. He was very rude. I found the marionette theater, near the river. (But the small marionette Museum is two rooms at the top of the mountain, in the castle.) It was a fabulous performance for all ages, of The Sound of Music. Excellent puppet performance! Cheering audience! 🤩
Sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption, die Lage ist super, mitten im Zentrum
Location
Personal on reception
Quarto amplo, colchões excelentes, tudo novo.
Pouca iluminação no quarto. Para acessar o 3o. andar foi preciso trocar de elevador no 1o.andar e subir um trecho de escada .
Tea/coffee making facilities would have been nice. Most other hotels provide this facility.
It was in a great location right near Mozart’s birthplace and the main shopping street. The room was nice and the bed so comfy. I slept great. There is a nice little restaurant right downstairs. We took a hop on hop off tour and just fell in love with the city. We went to a Mozart dinner concert at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium. Highly recommend it.
Amazing location, charming old building, friendly staff, very clean, great breakfast.
Mattress in room 422 is hard and sunken.
Location
No washcloths, no hotpot or coffee maker or bottled watee
Great location in the heart of the Old Town and close to lots of attractions.
There was a bad smell in the elevator.
Great location went for nephew wedding
Fabulous location. Great charm. Excellent dining.
The walk up to the room wasn’t easy - two lifts plus dragging luggage up some stairs.
Very comfortable, exceptionally clean, welcoming and warm reception staff, perfect location. We loved it here and will recommend.
Nothing- it was perfect.
One of the staff is not helpful. We checked into the hotel around maybe noon. We have 3 rooms for my travel group. It's hot in my room so one of the key cards was left in the slot to let the air conditioner run while we went out exploring the town. When we came back around 3:00 pm and found out the room was still not cooling down. So I talked to the staff at the front desk about it and he told us to leave the key card in the slot to let the air conditioner keep running. Of course I told him what I did and he said he will check it. At this time I asked him, will he get to the room to check while we're gone. He said yes. So we left and came back around 8:30 pm or so. The room was still not cooling down. So I stopped by the front desk again. The same staff was still on duty as my first time talking to (I didn't know his name). He said why I let him know this late of the time. I said I told him earlier and followed his instructions and he didn't tell me what's the latest time to tell him. He said I told him too late at the time of the day. He showed that he would not do anything about it. We exchanged the same saying a couple times and then he said I was yelling at him. I said I was not yelling but he needed to do something that he promised he would check if the room was cooling down. And the other 2 rooms were fine and much cooler. Finally he offered to exchange another room without any additional charges. In my opinion, this staff was unprofessional.
Muy buena ubicación. Cerca de todo lo queríamos visitar. Buenos medios de comunicación. Restaurantes para elegir. Muchos negocios parra comprar porque está casi en la calle principal.
Muy caro para lo que es el hotel, subimos en ascensor con las valijas pero despues tuvimos que bajar 4 escalones. La habitacion daba a un aire y luz y no se veia ni el cielo, era bastante chica y el baño aceptable. El desayuno pobre , muy mala la escasa pastelería. La entrada al hotel es mínima, casi ni se ve, supongo que la achicaeron a expensas del restaurante, muy
Guys at front desk were so helpful. Very clean. Good AC. Nice shower. Good cafe
Required two elevators to reach room.
המיקום יוצא מכלל.צוות מצויין.תודה מיוחדת לקלאוס ,פקיד קבלה שעזר לי מאוד.שכחתי את הטלפון הנייד שלי האחת החנויות הקרובות והצליח ליתר אותו ואף הציע להביא לי אותו בעצמו.תודה מיוחדת לקלאוס על העזרה ועל הרגישות שלו. ( אני נכה ומתהלכת עם הליכון) .כמו כן תודה גם למוחמד ולשאר צוות המלון.
Location is more than perfect. Right in the heart of the historic city center and just beside Mozart's house. Room is nice and clean.
Nothing
Grotesquely overpriced, only marginally clean, dark room with low ceilings, no streaming services. The floors are NOT hardwood as advertised, they’re vinyl. The kind of hotel where you wear slippers in the room because it feels unclean. Sorry to criticize a family run hotel but it’s like a roadside motel at best with a 4-star price.
Die Lage ist perfekt! Freundliches Personal
Böden im Zimmer waren nicht absolut sauber. Dass der hintere Eingang nur einseitig Benutzbar ist
Konumu harika salzburgun göbeğinde muhteşem bi deneyimdi
Merdiven sistemi çok karışıktı sadece ama yine de tabelalarla bulunabiliyordu
Great location. Very clean.
Excelent location. Good vibe.
Localizacao boa pra quem esta sem carro e sem malas porque o acesso é complicado
Do acesso pra carro e dentro do hotel muito confuso, pega 2 elevadores, sobe e desce escadas.. denovo quem estiver com malas é complicado . O estacionamento é super longe. O banheiro minúsculo
Fantastic location, AC climate control was fantastic during the heatwave, nice light duvet, big shower and strong water pressure
Way too overpriced. €150 mid week for 1 person, before main season and no breakfast and not even a kettle!! Very small room. Quite tricky to find room (involved steps, corridors and two different elevators so definitely not ideal for anyone above 65). No conditioner or moisturiser which one might expect in a 4 star hotel. 25 euros for breakfast also seems steep.
Location was great, very clean.
Room key had to be reset twice. Shower head was broken. They offered us another room but we didn't want to be on a different floor from our teens staying in the room next door. We asked to have someone come look at it but they never did. Not a big deal as we were only there for the night.
Great friendly staff. Room was nice. A bit small for us (4 people) but still clean and quiet.
Would have preferred a larger room for the 4 of us.
Hotel Elefant was in a good location, right in the heart of Old Town. Great location recommendations from Manfred, who was great. The restaurant downstairs was always bustling and busy, and it felt like staying in the soul of Salzburg. A short walk to everything you need was super convenient. It's a serviceable hotel room. You're paying for the location and the comfort of having everything on your doorstep. The room is nice, has everything you need with no extra frills.
Zentral gelegen, Klimaanlage!!!! :-)
Der Weg zum Zimmer war kompliziert zu merken, da alles sehr verwinkelt ist mit Stiegen und mehreren Liften. Eine Kaffeemaschine im Zimmer wäre nett gewesen.
Beautiful old property that occupies floors across a few buildings, but with modern renovated rooms. The staff were so kind and it felt like a family business. The air conditioning worked perfectly during the middle of a heat wave. Location is perfect, right where you want to be in the heart of the old city, literally on the same block as Mozart birth house. While “Hotel Elefant Family Business” is technically listed separately on Booking.com (an expansion of the business into a nearby, yet internally connected, building), it is functionally the same interconnected property with the same high qualify of room, so apply all the great reviews and details from the “Hotel Elefant “ It took us longer to lock down our hotel in Salzburg then the rest of the trip and we weren’t quite as excited about the listing, but that was our mistake, as it was fantastic!
Very helpful & friendly staff!
Zentrale Lage Altstadt Adapter Steckdosen an Reception vorhanden

👍👍👍
Ik heb in het Hotel niet ontbeten, de locatie was perfect!
Til prisen kunne værelset have været med udsigt eller mod gade og ikke mod lille gård.
lidt labyrintisk adgang uden klar skiltning fra reception til værelse
L'hotel è una ottima struttura centralissima e comunque silenziosa. Ho già soggiornato più volte da loro e sicuramente lo terrò in considerazione per futuri soggiorni a Salisburgo
Clean, quiet and pleasant room. Excellent location in Old Town.
Definitely the location, we didn’t know it would be in the middle of all the shops and churches. We loved the hotel staff and amenities and were pleased with the room. There were three adults in our party and we had plenty of room and were quite comfortable. The previous reviews were spot on, this is a fantastic hotel!
Nothing!
Location and slippers
Shower area was a bit tight
The location of this hotel is fantastic, right in the heart of old town Salzburg. The staff was very friendly and informative throughout our stay. The room was very quiet too. The room was extremely comfortable with a great bed and nice bathroom. We had a refrigerator which was nice. Our seating area and closets were ample and we were able to spread out. it was extremely clean and modern. The staff is extremely responsive and helpful. We loved being able to walk everywhere to pick up tours or to just visit the fortress. What a gem this place is! I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I liked everything.
The location was great with parking close by and discounted by the hotel. Rooms are large and bathrooms too. Breakfast was good with a reasonable selection.
On a couple of occasions we were made to feel unwelcome when sitting outside at the hotel on the table and chairs, even though we explained we were residents. There are multiple lifts to access your room which can be confusing however it’s a few buildings joined together so I guess that’s to be expected.
Very friendly and professional staff and perfect location
I like that as well established, you could tell that the staff really knows what they’re doing in hospitality and the accommodation is beautiful!

Really beautiful quaint hotel in Old Market Square area of the city. Quiet streets at night and vibrant during the day. Walking distance to all that you want to see and do in Salzburg
Location was great— everything was wonderful!
Luggage racks would have helped. A more powerful hairdryer.
Super Lage, Freundliches Personal, tolles Frühstück
Auf den ersten Blick schien alles ordentlich und sauber, doch der Blick auf dem Waschtisch in das Papp-Schächtelchen (in welchem sich wohl mal Reisenecessaire oder kleine Hygieneartikwl befunden haben 🤔 ? - die waren nicht mehr drin) ekelte mich: Schimmel in der Schachtel. An der Rezeption zeigte ich abends diese Schachtel. Eine sehr junge Frau sagte mir nur: "Ich gebe es weiter...." Und der Fernseher in diesem Souterrainzimmer hing auf dem schmalen Durchgang ins Badezimmer immer im Weg. Für große Leute ungeeignet. Ansonsten war alles in Ordnung
Amenities in the room were very nice.
Our room was in a different building to the reception and it was not completely accessible without stairs. Also, the staff did not bring our bags to our room and called us to say they left it in front of the lift so we had to go get it ourselves!
The Location is the best you can getvin Salzburg.
No tea or coffee facilities in the room. Not even a mini bar. Nothing was provided in the rooms. Would of been nice to have a coffee in our room while getting ready to head out for the day.
Amazing location!! excellent beds, clean & great staff . Would stay here again if I return!
Great location very clean
Odd omissions like no coffee or hot water in the room. 1 skimpy towel per person
Great Location. Very well updated and spotlessly clean!
Beds were a bit hard.
