We had an okay stay at the BW Hotel Elefant. It is right in the main pedestrian district. There is nearby parking which is about a 5 minute walk away. Some of the less than stellar experiences include automatic water in the bathroom sink. Unless you had your hands right under and close to the faucet, it did not turn... More

I was reminded I needed to write a review when going through my photos and finding a grainy picture of dust on a lampshade. I had wanted to take more but as my stay at this hotel was part of a birthday surprise I thought it would seem ungrateful, but there was loads of built in dirt in our small... More

An excellent hotel, location could not be better, in the middle of old town, staff were amazing, they went above and beyond, food in the restaurant was very good (try their soups). We cannot say enough about our stay here. More

This location right in the middle of hte old town, is perfect for sightseeing. Our room was small, but nicely laid out and not cramped at all.Beds comfortable with good linens. Bathroom was a good size, with excellent water pressure. Minor nitpick...towels are kind of small, and not particularly thick. Everything was clean. The included breakfast buffet was fine, though...

Small (31 room) hotel in the heart of Old Town Salzburg. Good-sized room with comfortable bed. Adequate breakfast with typical array of items on the serving line. Price was quite reasonable. Staff was courteous and accommodating. About a 15 minute walk from RR Station. We are one baggers so we could manipulate the cobble stones, but suggest a bus from... More

Just returned from a stay with friends. The hotel is well furnished and extremely clean. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was very nice. Despite being in the centre of the city I didn`t hear a noise all night long and there certainly wasn`t any room-to-room noise even though the hotel was full. There is... More

We would definitely recommend Hotel Elefant. From this location, my wife and I could easily walk to all the attractions throughout the old town and across the river in the new town. We were very happy with our room (quiet, clean, spacious and nicely decorated). The breakfast buffet was very good and staff were friendly and helpful. The WiFi was... More

Spent 3 nights here in a triple room which was actually a double bed and double sofa bed. There was plenty of room even with the sofa bed, with this only being a sofa the room would have been huge! The location couldn't have been better; right in the heart of the Old Town. There was a separate entry area... More

This is really the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Bad service, room with no view, dirty sheets, tiny filthy bathrooms, stupid receptionists and no one available who is on duty! Please try to avoid this hotel - there are only better ones in Salzburg! I will never stay there again! Waist of money and definitely not suitable if... More
