I love the charm of Carmel. The Hofsas House is one of them. It's located at the quiet end of town, short walk to shops and restaurants, the beach, short drive to Point Lobos, Big Sur and Monterey. We had a girlfriend weekend, Hofsas House was able to accommodate all three of us in one large family room with one... More

This hotel certainly has character, as it is painted bright pink with what appears to be Swiss motifs, and it is fairly reasonably priced. But - it is not much fun dragging suitcases up 2 or 3 flights of stairs to the communal verandah and then a medium-sized room which was none too clean. There was mould in the shower... More

Yes, there are hotel rooms in the heart of Carmel for under $100! Of course not during the summer or on a holiday, but we were here on a Monday midOctober & paid $95 for a lovely room for 2. The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean, we had the usual amenities (including real coffee mugs and wine... More

Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The rooms are a bit dated in their decor but entirely comfortable, clean, and spacious. I thought the hotel offered good value. Carmel is very compact, and this hotel is only 2-3 blocks away from the main strip. I arrived with 30 minutes left to get ready for a wedding. There had been a... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights while in Carmel for a wedding. Great location and quaint little room! Walking distance to some great restaurants, including Em Le's (HUGE tasty breakfasts and some mind-boggling fried french toast concoction). Our bed was adorable, clean and comfy. The staff was very nice, and the water in the shower was nice and... More

Stayed many years at the Hofsas House. No, its not the Four Seasons, but the location and hospitality make it the best value in Carmel. Will be staying there again later this month. More

I am currently sitting on a patio area outside our room having breakfast. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children and booked a family room. The room is very large with one emperor size bed in one room and 2 king beds in the other. Each room also has a walk in wardrobe and bathroom. The main... More

We actually really enjoyed our stay here, but it may have been because we were enjoying Carmel. The room was clean, and comfortable, and the staff very friendly and helpful. We just couldn't give it an extra point because: 1. The corner shower was dark, and had no light or fan. The rubber gasket will need to be replaced soon... More
