Hofsas House Hotel

"Very clean room with great housemaid service each night! Good quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap available. Smaller sized breakfast with some good options. Very cute and aesthetic design of the building and architecture. Close to town center where you can walk everywhere downtown and explore! The front desk was so friendly as well!"

"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, creamer, hangers, iron, and hairdryer. :) 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. 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 places. 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. 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!"

"If you have not experienced Hofsas you need to book today! This hotel is the perfect cottage like feel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have amazing views with birds chirping all hours of the day. The larger rooms come with options of a kitchenette, and a fireplace. The staff is extremely kind, and give you plenty of suggestions on what you should experience around town. The hotel has a heated pool that feels like bath water, a sauna which is kept in pristine condition, and a breakfast you will not want to pass up(its from a local eatery and its 5 stars for sure). The hotel is within walking distance to downtown and the historical beach. The hotel is family friendly, so you wont feel bad if your kid makes noise, or wants to be loud in the pool. The room service is fantastic, we left our room a mess and came back to everything neat and in better condition than we would have thought of. The room comes with coffee and local chocolates that you will want to go find more of. Book here and you will find yourself coming back!"
