great room size - but looking dated and fitments very home made - pool too cold to swim in - breakfast a long walk and miserly. more

Our family of 4 enjoyed our overnight stay at the Hofsas. the staff was friendly and very nice. The family suite was spacious and fairly quiet. Trying to negotiate the maze of stairs, walkways, etc. was amusing & we eventually got the hang of it. The beds were comfortable, fireplace was a nice touch, bathrooms were clean, etc. The towels... more

I called Hofsas House directly for an 84th birthday celebration. 4 adults, and one dog. I was explicit that we did not want any stairs due to two elderly mature travelers with bad knees. When I learned that they did not have elevators, I was told they had a cottage. We were assured the cottage had access that did not... more

Anyone who's been to Carmel knows it's a resort-like village for higher-end vacationeers. The Hofsas House Hotel proves that there are still establishments willing to cater to this clientele (not downgrade their service) at a reasonable price - so their money can be spent on the lavish dinners, Coach Bags, and Pebble Beach Golfing. First and foremost, the staff at... more

This is a great place to stay in Carmel. I have stayed at Hofsa's house several times over the last few years, and really like it. The location can't be beat: Hofsa's House is about a two-minute walk from Ocean Street, near the shopping and restaurants there, but it is not close enough to get the ambient noise from that... more

I prefer a simple, clean, comfortable hotel to a pretentious "5 star establishment". Hofsas House offered a huge 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with 1 king + 2 queen beds, at a very reasonable price. Perfect for me, my wife, 2 grown children and our 2 dogs. Some of the other reviewers complained about cleanliness, but our rooms were very... more

We needed a two-bedroom suite with two bathrooms to accommodate my mother and a disabled spouse. Hofsas House provided us with the perfect suite. There was a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and sink. The fireplace added charm to the two very large rooms. The bath areas included a dressing area outside of the bathrooms. We enjoyed the quiet in our... more

You have to know by the prices that this isn't the fanciest hotel in Carmel. If you're going for a honeymoon or some other big event, this may not be place for you. But for value-minded travelers, this hotel is an absolute dream. We've stayed there twice and had large, clean rooms with comfortable beds. The last time we stayed,... more

We stayed at several pet-friendly hotels on our way up the California coast. Nearly all failed to disappoint - except this one. For $185/night we stayed in a dilapidated, drafty room. It was so bad that all we could do was laugh. The drain in the bathroom was clogged. The water ran almost yellow; I didn't even fill the dog's... more
