Staff were very friendly and welcoming and very happy to make arrangements and recommend restaurants for you. Our room was comfortable and an especially comfortable bed. Nice fresh flowers in the room. Free wi-fi easily accessible. Great location, within walking distance of the town and all the restaurants, galleries and shops and an easy walk to the beach. Nice courtyard with seats for a drink/cocktail and I believe they BBQ there in the warmer weather so would be a lovely spot. I did find it a little noisy even though we were in one of the quieter rooms and found the breakfast very limited. They did charge you extra for bacon and some other what they called 'a la carte' items, which included granola and yoghurt, which to be honest I would have thought at the price of the hotel this would be included, but thats my only real criticism.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at L'Auberge! From the European style exterior, the beautiful courtyard to relax or enjoy a cocktail or conversation, the well-appointed and beautifully decorated guest room, delicious breakfast each morning, friendly and knowledgeable staff, fresh flowers in the room... every detail and expectation was met. It is also conveniently located for a short stroll to the many shops, galleries and restaurants. Look no further for your stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea.... you will not be disappointed! Truly lovely in every way! We stayed for two nights and unfortunately we didn't know the restaurant was closed on Mondays so we missed dining at Aubergine. We hope to return and will definitely try that the next time.... it looks delightful! Read less

We took a young family with a 2 month old baby boy. We both took our dogs This hotel is really classy.

We took a young family with a 2 month old baby boy. We both took our dogs This hotel is really classy. Fresh flowers in the room daily, valet service for no charge ( Carmel is a small town and this is key) Every amenity in the room ( heated floors) comfy bed, a little fridge, and anything you want at any time. I have a healing knee replacement as did well hiking around this magical city. One day I fell and they sent the car to bring me back (no injury thank you) The team was exceptional The hotel is a historic building and the decor matches We loved our experience and will be back So so fun.

Loved every inch of my room and the entire property! The exclusive bar is a great and calm place to grab a drink! Breakfast is also very good and fresh. The whole property is very unique with great views of the city and the ocean! Can’t wait to be back! Thank you for all the staff as well! Everyone was great!
