We had a very enjoyable stay at the Elephant Hotel in Weimar. Our suites were spacious, well designed and clean, the furniture and decorations on a high standard. Service was top and staff was very attentive, friendly and quick. We had dinner at the Elephantenkeller, which was very nice - food was great and service as well - and breakfast... More

This higher-end hotel is centrally located right on the Market Platz, adjacent to the Town Hall and not far from the Tourist Information Office. Rooms are very nice. Hotel staff speaks very good English and are very helpful. There is Wi-Fi available for a fee, but it is not very reliable sometimes. The downstairs restaurant is very good and features... More

Beautiful hotel, spacious modern room (with new, firm mattress), generous buffet breakfast and amazing historical pieces and artwork throughout the property. All of this conveniently situated in the heart of the city, within easy walking distance to the old city center and parks. The staff was friendly and helpful. When there was a short delay in finding our reservation, they... More

Absolutely superlative welcome and hospitality,...both in the hotel and Kellar. ...even remembered my name, without being ingratiating! Awesome setting and ambiance...spacious and airy accommodation...considerate and dedicated staff. Sorry I had not visited before, and certainly wish to go back for at least several days...or even live here! As a blue badge holder, my parking charge was, of course, waived,...as in... More

I have stayed at the Elephant many times and it has been great each time. Starwood members are treated very well with upgrades. Located on the main town square everything is a short walk away in this charming village/city. Try to get the breakfast package and you will not be disappointed. Service is fast and efficient. On my first visit... More

Nice modern hotel. Rooms are large with a sitting area. Bathrooms large and well appointed. Front desk staff very helpful. Located right on the town square so great location to explore. Charge for Internet which drives me crazy in the fancy hotels that you are already paying a good amount for the rooms. Had lunch in the restaurant and it... More

This 300 year old hotel is decorated in a very modern, yet tasteful style. The rooms are beautiful, large and very confortable. The location, well, what can I say, is where it needs to be. The restaurant is excellent and the bar/lounge is pretty and fun. Breakfast is out of this world, especially their omellets. Staff is genuine and makes... More

The hotel is attractive inside and out, but a little more thought for guests would make a big difference. The room was big with lots of storage space and windows opening over the outdoor section of the restaurant. The problem with that is that 5:45am is the hour someone chose to drag the tables and chairs into place for the... More

We stayed here recently and I would recommend a visit a visit to Weimar and if you are a westerner going to Weimar then chances are you are a history or culture buff and then I would highly recommend Elephant because of it's great location and interesting history. Statues of Alma Mahler and Walter Gropius are on the front balcony... More

We had a very pleasant stay at the Elephant in Weimar. The hotel has a proud history as a cultural centre in the city of Goethe and Schiller; but it was also a Nazi base during WW2. Both facts are the subject of a lobby display. As a hotel today, it is centrally situated, has charming staff and very comfortable... More
