Used to stay in the grand Sacher in the other side of the river, but the Elefant is in a much better location, obviously neither grand not luxurious but for the price more than worth it! Fantastic staff & breakfast, small rooms but try to upgrade and you'll have a fantastic stay! More

Very nice hotel in the old town. You can reach the funicular to the castle and even other side of the river in less than 5 minutes. There were a couple things keeping it from a truly great hotel, but at the price, its well worth it and i would highly recommend it. More

We chose this hotel based on price and location. Salzburg is a very touristy city which means all of the hotels in the old town are quite expensive. We thought staying in old town would put us closest to all of the sights and charm of Salzburg. Hotel elefant looked like it had been recently updated (new flat screen tvs... More

The only cons I have: my room and bed were tiny, and also there is only 1 small elevator for the whole hotel. Another tip: do not go to the hotel restaurant. It... More

Charming old hotel in the old town. Good staff. Nice rooms. Hard to drive to (bollards etc) but city car park not far away. Would go again. More

The perfect location - right in old town. The building and furniture was a little old, but the friendly staff, great breakfast, and very clean bathroom - with a TUB!- made this a great stay. I would definitely choose this hotel again! They will also let you drive into downtown to drop off bags, but after trying the squeeze through... More

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Elefant for a couple of nights just before Christmas. The hotel is located just in the heart of the Salzburg Old Town. 5 min walking distance to the big Car park in the Monchberg (if you don't have to carry a lot of luggage). The city airport is only 4 km away... More
