Top Hotels Near Monastery Beach in Carmel from AU$168

"very quiet, clean uncomfortable place to stay steps away from restaurants and shops breakfast in the morning very friendly staff highly recommend"

"We didn't use the pool."

"I was on the first floor, so the ocean was certainly not in view, and there were multiple houses in front of this house-like hotel so I doubt there was much of a view on the second floor. The water is very hot. The floors were heated even the toilet seat was heated. The whole experience was very luxurious and clean. They provide you with everything you might need minus clothes so no worries if you forget your toothbrush or your loofah. The “front desk” was actually a bar where one of the staff was making us a drink while he checked us in and made restaurant recommendations. Breakfast options were light but filling enough to where you could have an early lunch in a few hours or second breakfast right away. You have full access to the mini fridge and snacks in the room at no additional charge. I like that they provide cake at 7 PM every day. The only con I could find is that the rooms are VERY close together so you will hear noises from people walking around upstairs or next-door or even in the lobby. Everyone was very mindful of being quiet at night, but there’s only so much you can do with noise of walking. This place is a house renovated into a hotel so you won’t find amenities such as pools, fitness centers, spas or anything of the sort. They do have fireplaces around the property with cozy seating areas of all sorts; and the bar of course. They have cafe style tables with outlets for charging near each one where you could comfortably work. I’d 100% stay again."

"Amazing ocean view and lobby. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff, especially Diego. There are lots of stairs to get everywhere on property and it’s not super easy to lug your bags but it is worth it and they have a bellman if you can’t manage it yourself. Absolutely beautiful property! "

"It was beautiful! Breathtaking ….Expensive but beautiful And breathtaking. check out was to early 10 am ! Late check out was 11 am was not to happy about that but other than that excellent trip . "

"Home was exactly as pictured. Very clean and decorated cute. Loved the outside area. "

"This place is so lovely! The staff was great, very helpful and welcoming. It’s centrally located to Carmel by the sea, Monterey and Big Sur. We got a renovated bathroom which was great. The bed was so comfortable. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony which we enjoyed. The little cabins look very nice and well kept. We hope to stay in one next time. Highly recommend this place. "

"We loved everything about our stay in Carmel. The house was incredibly located, charming and had everything one could need. We were there two weeks and could have stayed forever. The house is cozy and comfortable. It is even prettier than the pictures. Can't wait to go back!"

"We called ahead to avoid being put in a room we had stayed in before, where staff constantly walk past the window at the exact height of the bed. There are no top-down curtains, so this feels very intrusive. Guess what room we got? Yep. The same one. We have stayed here 3 times, and 2 of those have been terrible. Great location, but very poor layout, and the staff seems frustrated with their jobs, so not responsive to guests. "
