The best parts of Hofsas House were their people and their location. Everyone we dealt with from the owner to the housekeepers was as nice as possible, and the many restaurants, shops, and galleries in Carmel were walkable from the hotel.

Hofsa house gave me a very lovely, quiet room with beautiful furniture. It’s easy to walk to town. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

We were a party of 3--2 grandparents & a "child" aged 14, who is 6'2" (you DID ask the age), and were assured that our room "sleeps 3" but it did NOT. We had to change to an adjacent room & have a foldaway bed delivered...but if that had not been available, we'd be up the proverbial creek!

It is definitely decorated in a specific period. It is not "modern" but we felt that added to the charm. We got an oceanfront room with a fireplace. They provided the duraflame log for burning. We watched the sunset from our room. It was a little spendy (it is Carmel), but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice, clean quiet rooms! Very nice staff! Great location, short walk to restaurants and shops. Beach is a nice 10-15 minute walk (downhill)....coming back was a little bit of an uphill walk. Love the area!

There were several plugs that weren’t functioning in the room. It’s an old building but extremely charming and comfortable. I was a bit disappointed that the plugs weren’t working I stay here often and never had a problem before.

It was a cute hotel and 15 minutes walking distance from the beach. Beds and sheets are old but it was clean. No need to pay extra for sea view because it's far distance. Overall, my husband and I had a good stay

Great little find in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Near many shops and restaurants. It's a steal of a deal considering the price... Surrounded by many MUCH more expensive options. Even has a little kitchen with a microwave, full size fridge-freezer, and a dining table for two. If you want to spend a few days in the Carmel area, this would be a great place to rest your head!

Our stay at the Hofsas House Hotel was great! Staff was friendly,kind and helpful. They gave us a map of the restraunts, shops, and historical places near by which was super helpful. The pool was great, and we enjoyed the heated swimming pool. The sauna was also super nice and relaxing. Our room was great and came with a mini fridge for all our beverages and snacks. This hotel has so many great restraunts near by which re all short walk away. Beware though it’s hard to find parking, especially in the evening so I’d recommend getting there earlier. Overall our stay was great!

This hotel is like a throw back to the 1950's-1960's. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. It is VERY convenient to downtown Carmel - you can walk easily to almost anywhere you want to go. Some of the less that positive thoughts - We were surprised by the bathroom where the countertop was extremely low and the mattress was sub par (lumpy).

Unfortunately our shower handle was broken and didn’t work so we couldn’t bathe during our one night stand. We ask for a credit or something as a result of the shower, and they said they could not issue a credit because we pre-paid with Expedia. Very disappointing.

The agent who check me in that night forgot the roll away bed that I requested, I been waiting in the room and finally my son come to the office and the office was closed. My room is exactly next to the office. I guess he was in a rush to go home. The lady in the Am shift make sure I did not get charge for the rollaway bed. Breakfast could be better for the price you pay.
