Staff are very courteous and the location was excellent. Also, the the breakfast was included in European style and he was very convenient.

The staff was very nice. And we enjoyed the included breakfast. But the facility is so limited, and the price so high, that I would never come back nor recommend. Small room. Noise from the street (including a 6am delivery truck), plus the restaurant and courtyard -- since there's no A/C you need to keep windows open. Valets just park your car in the neighborhood; sometimes they fetched it, another time we were handed keys and given directions. Unbelievably, I tried to watch something on HBO, and it wasn't available! Roadside motels give you HBO, but not the L'Auberge Carmel! Way too expensive for what you get.

We loved our stay here! The staff was very friendly and professional. The environment was clean, comfortable and classy with an old world vibe. Great cocktails. Beautiful and delicious food. I’d stay again.

This property is worth every penny. The staff, food, beautiful rooms and overall cleanliness.

A lot of steps to room!

This L'Auberge is small and a bit dated. There was a fan noise all night that almost sounded like a generator. No air conditioning and the windows only open a small amount due to being on the street, at least our room. Breakfast is good, simple and served in the courtyard that is strangely decorated with old animal (elephant and other) statues and an outdoor sunshade that is tied to them. We will choose a different hotel next time.

I have always enjoyed The Cypress Inn, and all that it offers. But I believe I have a new favorite hotel in Carmel. Everyone was absolutely wonderful.... I'm quite sure L'Auberge has hosted several influential and prominent people, but my dog and I were treated as if we were royalty. Thank you.

A stay at L’Auberge Carmel is a wonderful experience. Charming rooms, great service and conveniently located in downtown Carmel.

It was good but not quite what one expect for the price. $250 for dog was rediculous and nickel and dimeing

We had an amazing time and loved the charming atmosphere and warm hospitality! A great experience that we would recommend to anyone looking to visit beautiful Carmel!

We expected more from this Relais & Chateau property. It seems very overpriced for the quality of the rooms. The room was VERY warm, stuffy. The bellman brought out a fan from the closet as well as a 2nd fan. The opened windows did not get any cross-breeze and brought in the noise from the garbage/storage area on the side as well as the common courtyard where guests can gather to lounge or have breakfast. We were informed that there is no A/C here because it is an historic hotel, yet there was a split-mini air conditioning unit in the restaurant. Nowhere (on their website or hotels.com) do the room descriptions mention that there is no A/C. We ran the two fans the whole stay in late August. If your room faces the courtyard, you will hear chatter, service help radios and doors opening as well as some music from the restaurant. Room 17 had a hardwood floor, no area rug. There were not any other mirrors in the room, not even by the closet for dressing, only in the bath. The staff did not have a portable stand mirror for the desk. The upholstered chairs need to have their stuffing/foam replaced. The bed mattress was somewhat uncomfortable. The wall outlets were worn and falling out as our plugs would not stay in. Staff tried to fix it by putting a large multiplug on it, but that kept falling out, too. Staff was friendly, polite and helpful. The morning breakfast arrived as ordered or you could choose to have it served in the courtyard. Cleanliness & location was great!

L Auberge Carmel was a beautiful hotel on a beautiful beach!

Very quaint hotel with high end linens/pillows. Attentive, understated service which we enjoyed. Breakfast outside in courtyard with a fountain and flowers. Close walk to the beach. Restaurant was unfortunately closed because it was Monday. We will return and make a dinner reservation!

no parking - weird staff - poor tv - good wine - small breakfast but tasty - hotel is extremely overrated - just because a room has a Nespresso machine does not make it a good room - room was too small compared to its huge 4-post bed canopy, much like Al Bundy's large clients who insisted on wearing small-sized shoes (reference to Married With Children show). Just because you put it there does not mean it fits, and therefore it looks obnoxious. Not worth the stay.

Its unique in many ways but experience can vary greatly based upon the room. If you are courtyard facing be mindful of always hearing chatter and opening doors onto people eating

We found the room noisy as the building is old and easy to hear the music from the restaurant and people talking near the room. Otherwise a pleasant stay and very helpful service providers.

Superb, but overly pricey, property.

This place is all smoke and mirrors. The carpet in the room was stained, and the room was so stuffy.

Wonderful service. Very helpful and accommodating. I had to leave early each morning and my morning breakfast was arranged so that I could eat it before I left.

AMAZING hotel. Very clean room, amazing staff, superb bed, wonderful food. Pamper yourself and stay here!

Loved our quick stay. While the property itself is beautiful and well taken care of, the staff were incredibly kind making that our reason to return. From checking in, getting our luggage to our room, housekeeping, front desk staff… every single person was kind, friendly, and helpful. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay at L'Auburge.

We love the overall experience with LAuberge Carmel and will come back next time.

All around fantastic

The staff are excellent. The location of the hotel is perfect. The restaurant at the hotel (one Michelin Star) is truly outstanding. Food, Service and Atmosphere. However, we were in Room 9. To be avoided at all costs. The room itself was beautiful. But it sits above the restaurant…and sits below another room….and sits on the front of the hotel. Quiet it is not.

It’s a fairly nice property but we would stay elsewhere next time. Small rooms and steep stairs are quaint but hard on 70 year olds. Our key was tricky and the valet parking is off property. The included breakfast was lovely! We were surprised to have an additional $35 per day added for gratuity and still expected to tip.

This was an amazing find! The rooms are unique and well appointed. The staff here is amazing! They are welcoming and have an attention to detail that is unmatched. I would definitely stay here again.

Charming small hotel in the middle of the Carmel downtown district. Close to shopping and restaurants and the beach. The rooms are quiet and the outdoor community ares are accessible, private from the street and comfortable.

It was a great stay overall. All of the staff was extremely courteous and helpful and the room was great. We felt one front desk staff ( Saturday evening lady, who we dropped off the breakfast selection) could have been a little more courteous when we asked for possible changes to it and pickup availability from our dinner restaurant by car, nothing offensive just her style of dealing was a little off. We have been to other relais and chateaux hotels and have been wowed with every aspect ( just came back from the Awasi Atacama in Chile and every detail was perfect) so this was a little surprising.

Wonderful boutique hotel! Location is ideal for shopping and beach. We will be back!

What a treat! We received a very hospitable and personalized greeting. This boutique hotel is a class act, delivered with warmth and sincerity. The room we reserved was considered standard, but it was still special. Nice, bright light, beautiful decor, and the bed was very comfortable with crisp cotton sheets. The room had pre-bottled, sparkling and still water, savory snacks, and special homemade caramel candies- all included with our stay. Cookies were delivered to our room during turn down service. We were celebrating my birthday, and they brought us a complimentary bottle of chilled champagne after check in. So lovely. It was storming the next morning, and a full breakfast was delivered to our room. It was excellent! Very thoughtful personalized touches throughout our stay. We will definitely be back. Merci, L’ Auberge!

beautiful boutique hotel with exceptional service
