The property was very cool! Super old style but you need to be into that before you go. Everything looked very original. Roll top bath with a separate shower, quirky furniture to match its style and we had wonderful sea views from the top room. So glad we stayed as I personally love this style but could be deemed old fashioned to some. The history behind this house is really cool too. Loved learning about who used to live here and the area before it’s current condition. The breakfast was a bonus. Coffee, plenty of tea selection, juice, pastries and bagels to help yourself plus parfait offered on arrival to the dining area. Not to forget the complimentary glass of wine on arrival. Really nice touch and very appreciated on our stay after travelling up from the coast!

The only criticism I would have is the noise pollution from other guests in the morning. Given the age of the building and how thin the walls might be, this is totally understandable however it was difficult to sleep. Plus being located on the top floor, we heard the seagulls first thing in the morning which woke us up initially. We did choose this top room so no discretion there but certainly something to think about.

My son and I planned a last minute trip to Monterey Bay over Labor Day Weekend. We were lucky to find and be able to book this property at a reasonable price. The location in Pacific Grove was perfect for us. It was in a quiet residential area away from all the craziness near the aquarium and there was plenty of parking available on the street. We could easily walk down the hill to the coast or up the hill to get a bite to eat. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Not a large room, but plenty big enough for two adults. Also, the property was beautiful. We enjoyed sitting in the garden patio in the evening while we sipped our complimentary glass of wine.

The included breakfast was fine, but would not be a reason to stay here. The granola-yogurt parfait was delicious and the coffee was good and plentiful, but the pastries were not very good. Also, breakfast is not served until 8, so on two mornings we were gone before it started. There was not a lot of water pressure in the shower.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights at the Centrella. The staff made us feel very welcome and the twin room, although small (#3, with twin beds) was very comfortable. I suspect the double rooms are larger. The beds and pillows were very high quality and the WiFi was fast and reliable. The yogurt parfaits at breakfast were a treat and the pastries were fine (supermarket quality, not bakery quality). Parking was easy and the location was ideal for our visit. We enjoyed our glass of wine in front of the fire in the evening, admiring the festive holiday decorations. We would definitely come back.

Both my husband and I found the hotel to be quite appealing due to its old world charm. This large Victorian house built prior to 1900 has been restored and maintained meticulously by protecting its original 'flavor' plus adding modern conveniences. The property offers both rooms in the main house with communal dining room/living areas as well as a few cottages offering a private living room + bedroom. We experienced both and were very pleased. There is also a lovely sunny/shady backyard with patio tables and chairs set under a large redwood tree. You will find various thoughtful touches throughout that will make you smile. The hotel staff was personable, courteous, and always ready to serve us as we needed. The location is perfect within close walking distance to shops, restaurants, and ocean.

As it was a brutally hot the several days we were there, it might have been a bonus for the property to be directly across from the ocean with ocean views. However, it was a short walk - even for Seniors - directly to the ocean. Views from the hotel windows are pleasant.

I always love the ambience and beautiful experience of staying in a period home such as the Centrella! I was given a free upgrade, but one of the classic Victorian rooms suit me just fine! Please don’t change the hotel !! Keep to the period of the antique beauty, one can stay in a modern hotel anytime - but this historic charming beauty cannot be duplicated and should be restored not remodeled to modernity, but keeping the integrity of the era :/

I hate to say, although the newly remodeled suite was nice and tastefully done, I like to stay at the Centrella because of its history and authentic Victorian charm Another b&b in PG has been remodeled and I won’t go back to that one - so modern it’s ridiculous, so sad these historic buildings should be restored and preserved, but kept as the period homes they were, Not remodeled - BIG difference! :( If I wanted a modern hotel I would stay at one

We had a large bedroom with a smaller sitting room (with futon that turned into bed) and bathroom in between the two rooms. Nice set up for family of 4. The bathroom was nice and shower had good pressure. The main bed was very comfortable.

They offered small portions for breakfast snacks and ran out of food most days. They were not consistent with making up the rooms. When they skipped our room, we asked where to leave trash. We were told leave trash in the hall and it sat there all day. While the bathroom was nice, the shampoo/conditioner and soap provided were very cheap so we did not use.

Location in Pacific Grove just right for the wedding events we came for. We enjoyed the glass of wine during “happy hour”.

I was very disappointed with the breakfast. While the granola/fruit yogurt dishes were good, the pastries were awful. They were not fresh, stale actually. With the great bakeries in PG, fresh & delicious pasties could be easily served. Bagels also dry, not fresh. For the price charged, guests should be served fresh breads.

Charming quaint house with an adequate size room and comfortable bed. Fantastic location, just a couple of blocks from Lover's Point and one mile from the Aquarium.. Lovely stroll alongside the ocean in either direction! Simple breakfast with bagels & cream cheese, yogurt parfait with granola, honey and fresh fruit, pastries, juice, coffee, and tea.

Room (#5) next to front desk / dining room so it was a bit noisy, especially in the morning when people are assembling and eating in the dining room.

Great location, only a couple blocks from the main street with restaurants and shops. You can also walk along the coast to Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row, with amazing views of the ocean, wildlife, and seaside houses. The hotel itself nicely features period details and the staff is very friendly. The breakfast was simple yet filling, with the granola especially tasty.

Shower was small and water temperature inconsistent, but it’s also an historical building so understandable

We liked the historic feel. Front desk personnel, Daniel, was very helpful, efficient, friendly and informative. Free parking, next to downtown and easy walk to the water. WiFi worked well. Hot/cold water pressure was very good. Easy access to old town Carmel, Pt Lobos, Cannery Row, Asilomar beach. Happy hour glass of wine and freshly baked cookies add a very cozy, welcoming vibe.

It’s a historic building so, true to the period, the bathroom is small.
