“Excellent hospitality and great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We stayed at Pension Elefant during our two-and-half day visit to Berlin. The apartment is located near to KaDeWe and Wittenbergstrasse U-Bahn/S-Bahn station, which makes travelling in and around Berlin really easy and cheap. Due to the high parking fees in Berlin, we decided to leave our car in a no parking fee district just two blocks off of our pension. The whole two and a half days we did not use our car inside Berlin and this turned out to be the perfect decision. The owner's of the pension are super friendly and hospitable and will take care of all your wishes: hair dryer, late check-in, late check-out, paper bags for sandwiches. The rooms are spacious, very clean and offer amenities such as flat-TV, minibar, wardrobe and lots of indirect lighting. Breakfast was served by the two owners starting from 8/9 am until 11am. Due to our rather spontaneous and quick travel planning we only discovered upon arrival that the pension is located in the gay district of Berlin, which is also reflected in some decorations and magazines inside the rooms. Even though we were a little surprised, we had no problems whatsoever and the owner's cleared the room from the unwanted information material. If you are a regular couple maybe give them a call first and tell them, so they can adjust the room well in advance.

Room Tip: All rooms have rather high ceilings, which shouldn't come as a surprise since the entire apartme...

“Great Stay in Studio Apartment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed in a studio apartment owned by Pension Elefant just down the road from the actual bed and breakfast. The apartment was wonderful and the staff incredibly helpful!

The apartments are completely furnished and have many pamphlets for sight seeing in Berlin. Likewise, the owners were very interested in making my stay enjoyable and were very helpful in giving pointers of where to go and what to see.

Berlin is a very easy city to navigate. The apartment was about an hour walk to the Parliament and Brandenburg gate through the Tiergarten (a beautiful leafy section of central Berlin perfect for strolling). There is also an underground station right out the door for those who want to reach more distant places in the city. The location of the apartment was in a nice section of former West Berlin easily accessible from the airport for a reasonable cab fare.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel! The location was great, the apartment well-furnished and comfortably livable, and the owners were absolutely fantastic hosts!

We chose to stay at one of the apartments owned by Pension Elefant in Berlin and our 8-day-stay in Berlin was excellent. When we arrived in Berlin and came to the pension we're met by Reiner, one of the owners of the pension. He's the nicest person, so helpful and cheerful! The pension is situated in a great, leafy and quiet neighborhood, close to KaDeWe and the shopping area. The apartment we stayed in was just around the street. The apartment was super clean, with all the necessary facilities you might need! Coffee machine- which is a great idea for starting a day! All the necessary appliances in the kitchen, we haven't even had a need in a hair dryer we brought with us, cause there was a hair dryer in the apartment. Tv and dvd player is there, as well as Wifi connection. In short, the owners did our utmost best to make their guests feel at home! As I said the location is great, five min walk to Wittenbergplatz U-bahn station. The supermarket-Kaiser is near the U-bahn station to buy all the necessary things you may need during your stay. We really enjoyed our stay in Berlin, and I'd definitely recommend the Pension for your travels! Thanks Reiner and Ole!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Pension Elefant and were extremely satisfied with our stay. Our room was spacious and clean, and our hosts were very attentive to our needs as travelers. Great breakfast, great service, good location. A great place to stay during the Advent season and see the Christmas markets or visit museums.

“Alex & Peppe were here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

It was a wonderful experience staying in this warm and quiet place. The hosts are nice and friendly. The place is close to all the facilities and everything is easy to reach. The movida is there and all the best gay places are just around the corner (or just in front of the building!).
