“With air conditioning would be 5 star for us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013

We stayed here for one night during our drive around this particular area of the former GDR. The hotel fronts the Market square, but we entered into the parking lot which is around the corner on the north side of the hotel. Check in was very quick, the clerk spoke excellent English and was very friendly and pleasant. Due to... More

“Mix of 1938 traditional architecture by Hitler favourite Hermann Giesler, a bit of Art Deco and tons of Neo Deco.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

Great hotel. Not cheap. No swimming pool. Fantastic breakfast. Good beds. Worth a visit because of a detailed exhibit about the history of the hotel. 400 years and they're very honest about the more delicate years, such as the construction of a new hotel in retro style, ordered by Hitler, and the period of the DDR when it was an...

Located right at the town centre within walking distance to all historic buildings, parking is €15 at the back of the building, room is furnished with Bauhaus style furniture, bed is very comfortable and all common rooms are so elegantly furnished.

“Cultural Germany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2013

The Hotel Elephant is a relic from the old days. Located at the main square, it was used by the upper echelons of government during the 30' s and 40's. Close by are the homes of various music masters, as well as the palace of the local ruler in older times. It survived virtually unsacthed from the war and is... More

“Wunderbar! Highly recommended deluxe hotel in the heart of beautiful Weimar”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2013 via mobile

Hotel Elephant is THE place to stay when visiting Weimar. Perfect location, room 228 is amazing and the team went above and beyond despite having a very full house due to a convention. Cannot wait to return again soon!

“Fantastic Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2013

The location of this hotel is second to none, right in the dead centre of town and walking distance to all the main attractions. The rooms are modern, tastefully furnished and huge by european standards. The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant is also well worth a visit. Would definately stay here again in a heart beat.

“Old European class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2013

Great hotel. Great food. Beautiful garden. Nice and helpful service. Lovely town. The only complain, and a small one, may be the bathroom because I expected something more classy and dicretly high-tech with no, well, bathroom smell inviting me whem I opened the door. I would come back anyway.

We stayed two nights here during Christmas market time and we were very pleased.
