It doesn't have to be a 5-star hotel to make a stay a pleasure. With incredible commitment, the staff at the "Elefant" made a weekend event at a class reunion an experience. Thank you very much

This hotel is located in the center of Schwerin, just a few steps from the imposing castle. The breakfast was good, the employees were very helpful, but the single room was a bit too cramped.

The entire celebration went smoothly and we couldn't have imagined a better place for this special day.The food is particularly noteworthy. For a buffet it was really outstanding - every guest was thrilled by the quality and variety of the food. The organization and communication with the hotel was also excellent. All agreements were implemented without any problems and the team was always friendly and helpful.The price-performance ratio was also exceptionally good. We are completely satisfied and can only warmly recommend the Hotel Elefant for any celebration. A big thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable wedding!
