Such an unbelievable gem of a stay! Ever since I found them in 2024, to celebrate my first job, I have made it my mission to save up to come here once a year! I've been here 3 times now and since I stayed in different rooms each time, I feel very confident to leave an honest review(not requested or asked by staff) Pricing: Very reasonable for the area, cheap pet fee(only 30$ per night) and they welcome large dogs. They also price-match so always book directly with them. They are always quick to answer the phone or messages when booking! Even during off-season, our preferred time to go, there is plenty to do locally with their gorgeous beaches and greenery, and the Calla Lily Valley. Or even just relaxing in your cozy room and doing sunset beach walks. Rooms: Always extremely clean, no bugs, very spacious. Each room literally feels like it's own separate little cottage, with unique decorations and decor. Pictures attached Amenities/Features: Some have different amenities than others so always feel free to ask(my favorite is absolutely the one with heated floors and working fireplace during Winter)! We have always gotten at-least a fridge and microwave, in addition to the soaps, shampoos, conditioner, coffee and creamer. :) They have a vending machine on site for snacks.The tvs always have an HDMI port so if we don't want cable, we can hook up the laptop to watch movies or our game system to play some games! They also have tables/chairs to be able to work if you need to, plenty of outlets as well.They offer complimentary breakfast every morning! Nice spread of fruit, pastries, and yogurts along with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. I have been during very busy season and off seasons and they are always very well-stocked for their guests and have never seen them run out of breakfast items.They have a sauna and heated pool available as well, and an amazing view of the ocean on the top floor with some seating available if you want to sip your morning coffee and look out at the ocean. Parking has never once been an issue; even during their busy season plenty of parking. And they have a few out front for easy loading/unloading. The building itself is also so gorgeous and whimsical. Their garden is obviously tended to so lovingly and makes for such a peaceful walk. Location: It is less than 20 minute drive from the Bay area with more touristy things like boat/underwater tours, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and vintage/thrift shops. Tons of seafood place. Carmel has tons of pet-friendly shops and eateries so we prefer to be local and have gotten many amazing recommendations from staff along with a map for guidance. The beach is literally less than 15 minute walk from the hotel. Their are nearby parks for nice walks with you or your animal-companion and tons of gorgeous gardens and greeneries as well for pleasant scenery along the way. Staff: I usually have the pleasure of speaking with Carrie when booking and she is such an absolute delight. Always willing to price-match, is always of great help when booking or needing assistance in the room, and always happy to see me and my pup when we stop by and we love her cheeriness!Any worker we see has always been very kind and helpful, recommending local spots and eateries, or providing extra towels and blankets, always willing to give a lil' pet for the pup. They always do an amazing job cleaning and restocking the room or respecting our privacy when we put up the do not disturb sign. Overall, an absolutely great experience each time, and we can't recommend them enough. Me and Paddington can't wait to see you all again! read more

This is a gem of a hotel! I travel up the coast to go to Sades and visit Parker and the cool people I've met over the years going there ( sadly my last visit will be one of my last now that Sades has been forced to close due to tranny's/ transplant citizens who don't care about the legacy of the city taking over!!) But, the Hofsas House remains and it is one of those places, like Sades, that makes you feel welcome and that you are home away from home. The hotel is walking distance from town and has a homey vibe. Every room is different, many have private balconies, kitchens and others fireplaces. Highly recommend! read more

We would certainly stay here again, but we had conflicting feelings about this property. We loved the old world charm and the way it takes you back to the ways travel used to be. You truly feel like you could be back in the middle of the last century. However, that's also a bit of a problem. Things in our room felt like they had not been maintained very well. For example, there were no easy to access outlets or ports for our phones. With that said, it looked like some nearby rooms were being redone, so the improvements may be gradually rolling through the property. We loved the convenient location and the staff. BOTTOM LINE: I suspect this is one of the more enjoyable properties in town. It reflects life the Carmel way. Relax and enjoy the unique vibe. read more

I loved our stay here! I would say staying in this hotel was probably my favorite part of our visit to this town. We stayed in room 33 which I highly recommend requesting that room. It had a extra comfortable bed and a balcony that you can see out to the distant ocean on. Had a small separate kitchen are that was a bonus. And the doors... !!! The Dutch doors were perfect for us with our toddler but also wanting the sunshine and street views while we hung out. Walking distance to delicious restaurants and shops. We actually walked to Flahertys and back for dinner. The breakfast they have is nice and simple. Like I said we loved it and will be staying again in the future. read more

Hofsas house is an excellent location. We traveled with our dog. Our room was a basic room. So no fireplace, queen bed very small room. I commend the cleaning staff. They do a great job. The room is spotless. The only complaint is the smell of the cleaning products is not an appealing scent. I put out a box of baking soda that seemed to help or the scent eventually dissipated. It sounds like the other rooms may be larger and with fireplaces. The staff are helpful and welcoming. I'd stay in another room next time and explore the other options. The breakfast is adequate. If you want a good location to stay with your dog I recommend it. Explore the room options if you want a larger unit with a bigger bed. The rates are fair. read more

Very old and tired. We don't need anything fancy, but this place was dirty. Friendly service though.

We spent the weekend here at Hofsas house with our 2 little doggies and our stay was so pleasant! It isnt fancy at all but have such a cute vibe. The room was very clean.. staff was super friendly especially Guadalupe at the front desk was very helpful! only thing con is the fridge/microwave is in the bathroom lol We would definitely stay here again :) read more

We very much enjoyed our stay here! We stayed in a pet friendly room. It was pretty spacious, everything looked and felt super clean. We were lucky enough to have a mini fridge as well. We also enjoyed the location -- we were at the edge of downtown, so there wasn't that much traffic coming out of the hotel, but everything was in reasonable walking distance. Considering we came during Fourth of July and we explored outside of Carmel by the sea, we were able to find spots in the designated parking lot with no problem. A couple of cons: -we wished there was a microwave in the room -walls are SUPER thin! Other than that, this is definitely a hotel I would consider coming back to! read more

Absolutely adorable hotel!!!! Great location because it is walking distance from all the nearby businesses/cutest village and a 10min walk to the beach! We got a great room on the second floor with an amazing view!! The sunset was beautiful from there (and we even ate breakfast out there because it was such a lovely spot). I didn't give it 5 stars because I had a really hard time sleeping with it being such a "breeze friendly" atmosphere. I loved the cooler weather but it was cold at night (the blankets were warm enough). You freeze coming out of the shower (which the shower head is very low and there is no conditioner because it's included with the shampoo. But it smells good and their lotion smells great too). The water does heat up really fast though. The pillows were very thin but they do give you several. The hair dryer was excellent and very needed! The part I couldn't stand was the strong smell of cleaning supplies and what seemed like urine in the bathroom. It was overpowering whenever I stepped into the bathroom. However, the view was great and the half doors are very unique to Carmel and worked great for when we wanted a breeze to come in. Breakfast pastries were delicious and yogurt and bananas were needed. Their decorations are absolutely beautiful (including all the flowers and plants)!!! All the staff is so friendly too and helpful (when I needed water to refill my water bottle, they refilled it for me). read more

I adore this hotel. It has good reviews for a reason. Service: excellent; everyone was so nice and accommodating Room: very comfortable & I love the Dutch doors for the ocean breeze. Bed was great - slept well. Extra bonus for them being dog friendly so my fur baby could join us Location: sweet!! Right in town so we could walk to the bakery or restaurants as needed. Food: light breakfast included with your stay: variety of pastries, fruit, coffee and OJ; decent for being free Bottom line if you're looking for a cute hotel that's dog friendly, this is the spot. read more

Hofsas House - View from our room - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

A very cute and quaint European rustic cottage bed and breakfast hotel in Carmel! Location was on the edge of downtown Carmel - but still walkable distance to the center! I loved the pink aesthetic, very picturesque! Floors and stairs are a bit of a maze, but that adds to its charm. Walls are a bit thin, so sound is able to travel pretty well between your neighboring units. The furniture also also adorable - but they could use some refreshing and some serious deep cleaning. They also provide breakfast and coffee daily, which included Danishes, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and orange juice! Our room also had a fireplace and they provided starter logs as well, which was a nice bonus! There's also a microwave, coffee machine, mini fridge, utensils, and plates/bowls! read more

Recently stayed here for my birthday and felt it would be good to leave an honest review! Positives: The room was very clean. The pool is beautiful, the staff were very friendly, the view was gorgeous, they had shampoo and conditioner that smelled lovely, and the location is great as you are close to everything! Negatives: The smell in the room was so intense of bleach. We had to leave the door open for almost an hour to feel like we could breathe again. The room was also very outdated. The TV was small with no options for Netflix, the remote worked on and off, the microwave and fridge were in the bathroom??? There is a door that clearly leads to the room next to you that looks like it's just covered with thick cardboard so you hear EVERYTHING. We had a family next to us with kids (we LOVE children but did not have ours this weekend and wanted to relax) and they were yelling at 7am and it woke us up. The bed is very springy, the pillows were flat and again, the noise was a lot. The shower was also very small with no light and in the corner so you're pressed up against the wall. We would recommend staying here if you just need a quick place to go sleep and then leave the next day or if you don't mind noise/ little first world problems when you are at a hotel :) If you are looking for a more romantic, peaceful getaway, we would not recommend it. In the future if some upgrades were made, we would try again as we love good hospitality, it was just a little loud and outdated for us. read more

Always love the Hofsas House-staff hospitality clean rooms and walking distance to ocean avenue

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Rooms were comfortable, clean, and cute. Staff is great. Parking was good. The location is perfect...walking around town from here is a breeze. I liked the breakfast as well. The only minor thing is that the walls are pretty thin so you hear a lot from all sides. But other than that it's a great place to stay and I would absolutely stay again! read more

We are a family of four traveling with our dog, and we stayed at Hofsa's House 2 weeks ago. We stayed in the family suite. It was the cutest little cottage, with every amenity that you would need while you were away from home. They didn't miss a thing! It was light and bright with a cute Carmel style decor inside it was like our own private little Airbnb. It is also in the perfect location, a few streets away from the main street... So it is not too loud. The breakfast in the morning was very good, and the customer service is very good as well. when we return to Carmel, we will only be staying here! read more

Dog-friendly, cozy, family-owned inn with character. We stayed here recently and, while it was a little noisy right outside of our room in the mornings with housekeeping set up next door, we enjoyed our time here. The inn is in a convenient location to walk to the restaurants and shops in town. The continental breakfast each morning included fresh pastries from a local bakery, juice, yogurt, fruit, and a good pot of coffee which we brought back to our room to enjoy. The pool is small but good enough for my husband to swim some short laps. I especially loved how dog-friendly they are! They even gave us a collapsible water bowl that we brought with us for lovely walks along the beach. read more

It is one of the more unique & pleasant hotels to stay at with only a few minor inconveniences. Located at a quieter part of downtown, the Hofsas House resembles a fabled Dutch architecture from the 19th century, with wall murals to match. The main parking lot is located at the back of the building, this can be accessed via an entrance adjacent to the office. Entrance is narrow & has a precipitous drop that can be frightening or thrilling, depending on your cardiac conditions. If you missed this entrance like us, at the end of the hotel there is another hidden unmarked driveway, it's actually a 1-way exit for the main parking lot! There are also 4-5 spots directly in front of the hotel on San Carlos St, but those were usually taken. Additional street parking were plentiful nearby. The office/front lobby is small but has a cozy comfy atmosphere, with inviting couches & fire place. Here can be a cozy place to enjoy coffee or HH beverages during happier times. The lady at the office was very friendly and gave clear and precise instructions. We got an ocean view King room on 4th floor, there was no elevator. Luckily we only had to drag our dunnage up 1 flight of stairs as we parked on San Carlos. If you park at the main lot beneath you will have to scale several flights of stairs to reach the upper floors. Like most Carmel hotels, "ocean view" essentially meant a glimpse of the sea, but we knew that from past experiences. Our room didn't have a private balcony, but the view from the outside corridor was still lovely. We loved the plantation shutters on the windows as well as the unique Dutch door, it was the first time I have ever seen one. There was also a common area on our floor that serves as a sun deck, with outdoor tables & chairs to boot. It's a great place to sip your drinks while catching some virus-killing UV lights or just simply admiring the sunset. The reg king room was adequate though not spacious. Naturally the bed took up most of the room, an old fashion TV stand/dresser was a bit obstructive. Illumination was provided by 3 table lamps, they should consider recess lights to free up more precious counter space for guests. A small folding leaf table & 2 chairs served as the dining/work station. One of the leaf did not work and thus we had to eat our meals in a confined fashion. Again the table lamp prob needs to go. The bed itself has a relatively firm & comfy mattress. The pillows were a bit lumpy, thin and relatively small. You will prob need at least 2 of those per guests. Bathroom was quite interesting, it's where you will find a mini fridge, coffee maker, coffee mugs & wine glasses. The towels were of descent qualities & were artfully folded. A small wicker basket contained cute items such as shampoos, soaps, lotions, makeup removal wipes & small Purell sanitizing pads. Shower was hot and had good pressure, keep in mind we were there during slow times. The walk-in shower was pentangular and small, if you are 5'7" your head might hit the shower head, if your are 6'3" you will need to stoop once inside. The caddy area was tiny and can only hold bar soaps and small containers. Our room was located next to the stairs so there were the usual foot traffic noises. In the crack of dawn there were more street noises as the big garbage/recycle trucks announced their presence. I found this fairy consistent in Carmel regardless days of the week. Breakfast was prepaid for and amazingly they actually served it even during this COVID crisis. It consisted of basic pastries such as danish, juices, fruits (banana, apple and tangerines), Yoplait, a jug of piping hot coffee with packages of creamer and sugar. It wasn't great but I though it adequate and artfully arranged on a tray so you can carry it back to your room. Overall we quite relished the hospitalities and the uniqueness of Hofsas House, will def consider returning. read more

I was shocked to see some of the lower reviews for this inn! My fiancé and I tend to be a bit on the pickier side when picking our lodging and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! This was a last minute trip for us and we didn't want to break the bank on lodging so the price point here was perfect for us. The inn was incredibly convenient to the wineries in Carmel valley and it was very cute with a German theme that we found adorable. The staff was very helpful at check in and there is plenty of parking in the back which was very convenient for us. Bed was comfy, room was clean and had a large balcony that we enjoyed sitting out on. They are also dog friendly! My favorite part of the room was that the bathroom had heated floors! That was such a nice surprise and did not go unnoticed! We will definitely be back for our next quick trip to the wineries :) read more

We planned a last minute getaway to Carmel and I found this place on Yelp. They offered and gave me the 10% discount advertised on Yelp. Everyone at the front counter was super friendly! We booked the poolside room with single queen bed. The room was cute. The pool is heated! Everything is in walking distance which we loved. We had no trouble with parking on the property so we didn't need to find parking on the street. The only warning is that it is such an intimate place that we could hear everything from our room but we were hardly in the room so it did not bother us, especially for the low price we paid! Breakfast is complimentary and just needs to be picked up in the morning from the front office. It was filling. Everyone was very friendly. read more

The pink buildings and decals at Hofsas are adorable. The pool is clean and warm, the thermostat in the bedroom worked well, and the bathroom floor was heated. Our room was large and had a wonderful view, and there was even a little kitchen with a fridge and table to sit at. But traffic noise was loud at times, as was noise from the room overhead. And as is all too often the case at hotels, garbage morning--on Thursday when we were there--was difficult to sleep through. read more

Hofsas House is a cheerful, family & dog friendly place to stay in Carmel-By-The Sea. We were warmly greeted at check-in and found an easy parking spot on the property. The hotel employees were all very nice from the front desk staff to housekeeping. We were very happy with our room. It had a view, was bright, comfortable and very clean. The kitchen and dining table was a great perk. We enjoyed the heated pool, dry sauna and continental breakfast. The potted plants throughout the property was a nice touch. Our bathroom had recently been remodeled and was very clean. The decor style reminded me of my Grandparent's, so it was a nice change to stay in a place that didn't have the same modern gray decor as everywhere else. I highly recommend the Hofsas House and we will stay here again next time we are in Carmel. read more

PAPER.THIN.WALLS! Awoke this morning thinking it was noon (checkout time) by how loud it was outside with people walking on the floor right by our door, car alarms going off, and our neighboring guest speaking very loudly on the phone. Turns out it's only 8 AM. Besides that, the room is comfortable. The floors in the bathroom are heated. It meets the necessities for a spontaneous stay in Carmel for the night. Ocean ave is a 6 min downhill walk which is the Main Street with all the restaurants and cute shops. read more

This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We got an ocean view room and us waiting a clean and small but well appointed room. The customer service , especially from Fernando, was exceptional. read more

I can only provide the highest possible recommendation for this wonderful facility. Their professional staff was, on every level, fully accommodating in all respects. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have every intention to return on an annual basis. I will not hesitate to reference the Hofsas House to anyone in need of hotel recommendations at Carmel-by-the-Sea, California,. read more

We stayed here for a post birthday weekend getaway and we had a great time. The room is spacious and cIean. But the buy in for me is the vintage, shabby chic feel, plus the fireplace and the dutch door add more character to it. The bathroom seems newly renovated and the pressure of the water on the shower heard is astounding! It was refreshingly strong that I immediately felt clean even without scrubbing! The room also comes with a mini refrigerator and microwave to store and heat your leftovers up! It's roughly a 5-min walk to carmel downtown, it's so close to everything yet quiet and peaceful, I was able to get a good night's sleep. Customer service is good, requests are mostly accommodated. The price I would say is the most affordable compared to the other inns in the area but still not at all cheap. Parking is ample and free! Win! So why only 4/5 stars if I seemed to really enjoy the place? It was because I was under the assumption that the room comes with an ocean view, with the price we paid. But it would be good to ask for an upgrade since there is no additional fee. Our room is situated at the far end, which felt like no one had really stayed there since the extra comforter smelled dusty. The booking came with a free continental breakfast: mostly pastries and fresh fruit. However the coffee was sad, it was diluted. And since coffee is life, for me, I had to have my caffeine fox somewhere else. Overall, I would still recommend this place, but remember ask or request first, if you would like to have the ocean view! read more

Where do I start? We came to Carmel with our pup and this was the perfect location! We rented out Cottage #8. It was perfect. A wonderful fireplace, fridge, microwave and heated bathroom floors!!

Thank you Hofsas House. read more

Stayed here for a weekend while visiting Carmel. The price was very appropriate! Very cute! The room was a lot bigger than I thought which was great! The place is also a short walking distance to town. We did not have problem with parking whenever we got back around 3/4pm. A problem I had while here was that the staff on duty when we checked in said they don't deliver breakfast even though I saw numerous time online that they said they do deliver. Wasn't sure about that but it wasn't a big problem. The walls are thin here. Our upstairs neighbors were relatives of Big Foot or something but man did they stomp. Our next door neighbor had a lot of fun on the bed the first night we were there if you know what I mean. The next day, a family checked in next door and between the kids crying and the parents lecturing them, I'm surprised I got any sleep. A suggestion I have for the hotel is possibly invest in some window curtains! It was very bright at night even with our blinds closed. Overall, the staff were super friendly! Next time I'm back, I'll ask to get a room at the very top and possibly in the corner since the walls are so thin. read more

We came for Valentine's Day and our anniversary, after reading this was a romantic stay for couples. It was anything but, and we checked out early. This felt like a grandma's house that hasn't been updated in 40 years. Pros: location, pool and sauna. Included breakfast consisted of pastries and coffee and fresh fruit. The toiletries seemed okay. Cons: there's no a/c or air circulation of any kind in the rooms, so covid-19 can easily spread between guests, though the rooms did look very clean. The shower was too small height wise, and I'm only 5'8. I had to squat down to get my face wet, forget about washing my hair. The shower head/handle and the water pipes also pulled out of the wall and felt like they were going to break. The room was non-smoking, and a cigarette was behind the nightstand. Everything was super old. The room definitely needs an update. For being here for our anniversary, it was kinda awful. The bed sucked, the pillows were completely flat and the sheets were thin and itchy, there was one towel each and they were quite thin, and the shower is meant for apparently very short people. The TV was tiny and as big as my home computer monitor. You have to walk your breakfast tray down a steep driveway and it seemed very impractical if you're caring coffee and mugs. this place is completely not ADA accessible as there's no other route and lots of steep steps. Older folks who need assistance, do not stay here. I nearly tripped and fell several times myself. Overall, this feels like a dated roadside motel that I'd pay $50 or so for, but for being ranked as one of the best spots of Carmel and spending $200/night, I expected much much more. I wish the experience were better, but we left truly disappointed. read more

This is not the hotel you bring your 6'4 boyfriend to. I could barely fit into the shower, and I am a compact lady. I am not sure how my boyfriend contorted himself to fit his limbs into that tiny box. This is the smallest shower I have ever seen. Previous reviewers were not exaggerating. The room was simple and acceptable. The bed was comfortable enough, although it did feel a little worn. I thought the placement of the refrigerator in the bathroom was a little strange. The walls are super thin, so you will hear everything and everyone will hear you. I would also recommend a better ventilation system. Pros: Ample Parking and only a short walk to downtown I appreciated the charm of the hotel, and I loved the location. However, I was a little underwhelmed by this experience. Yes, this hotel is affordable and convenient. But, if you are looking to impress your companion, this might not be your selection. read more

Carmel is a place I never get tired of going to because it reminds me of Princeton NJ, where I grew up, if Princeton NJ was on a hill, (it's mostly flat). Always things to do, even during Covid, Breakfast is still served, you grab a basket and take it back to your room. Rooms are a bit pricey it being winter time but people are pleasant and they have a sauna and a heated pool! Room was very clean, not there for the TV but it was fine. Things to do in the area-Go down towards the beach, take a right and a left and follow the road onwards to 17 Mile, it's about $10.50 but you can get that taken off your restaurant stay (if you order out, things may be different with the lockdown). Well worth a couple of hours and the drive is peaceful and scenic, I love the beaches. On the way back we went to Pfeiffer Beach which is EXTREMELY rare to get in (weekdays easier), it's a long drive down a 1 lane road, with cars in both directions, but ...SUBARU! woo hoo lol. Always enjoy the hotel and the people here, great walks at night too, dog friendly too! (There's an understandable fee just incase your dog doesn't behave themselves which always seems to happen when they're not at home). read more

Honestly one of the cutest hotels I stayed at ,went this past weekend and truly enjoyed my stay. It was clean and the customer service was amazing.

Super cute and great service and convenient to everything. Thank you Hofsas House Hotel for great experience read more

I love visiting beautiful Carmel. I was recently there to meet two college friends to celebrate a milestone birthday together. Our experience at the Hofsas House could not have been more wonderful! The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable. And everyone at the hotel is tremendously kind and gracious and helpful. The owner of this family-owned hotel was so gracious and welcoming to us. I had to change my reservation via telephone, and Fernando went out of his way to very kindly and efficiently help me with everything. Staying here was such a delightful and positive experience for all of us in our party. I look forward to bringing my husband to stay here next time we are in Carmel. What a true gem this hotel is! read more

I've stayed here twice in the past year and couldn't recommend enough! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The Dutch doors and overall antique vibe of the building and decor are adorable. I have found the beds to be very comfortable and breakfast is light but adequate. Don't expect the modern amenities of upscale hotels, but come here to relax and be cozy. Additionally, it's walking distance to everything in Carmel-by-the-Sea and has plenty of parking in the lot and nearby streets. read more

This hotel is old and dirty and disgusting. Listen to the bad reviews, they are right.

I've literally been staying here my whole life. When I was a kid my family would stay here once a year. As an adult, I try to get back every two years or so. It's a simple, clean hotel with friendly staff. The king room with private balcony is my favorite. But if you are traveling with family or a larger group their two room family suites are great, too. Walkable to everything in Carmel. Don't forget to try their coffee, juice, and pastries in the morning. read more

5 stars for these guys! Had an absolute wonderful stay, wish I would have stayed for more than a night but I was just passing through. From the check in to the check out everything was super smooth.

Will definitely be back to Carmel and will definitely be staying here. read more
