EuroCheapo
"The Creatif Hotel Elephant is a big old beast of a hotel, a bright orange place with colorful touches located about a block north of the station." Full review

The location, five minutes by foot north of the train station, lacks excitement, but it’s unquestionably convenient for those using the station (and Ubahn and Sbahn), and it avoids the sketchy scene that lies “south of the station”.

DK Eyewitness
"This five-star hotel has been created behind the historic façade of a former postal building: an elegant setting for banquets and conferences, accommodating up to 750 participants."
Star Service
"The hotel brags that every corner is a "masterpiece of contemporary design." And with its multilevel lobby enthralled in a very Prince-like purple light, this attitude is clear from the moment you walk in." Full review

The Oktoberfest’s Theresienwiese station is one U-Bahn stop away – to avoid the proverbial sardine-like trains and platforms, it’s a much more pleasant 10-minute walk.
