Staff is super nice and friendly. Breakfast was really good a few options but good. Parking is on street parking, we had no trouble parking on the street for the most part. The only things that I thought were of issue was the water pressure to the shower they use really low pressure shower heads to save water, but they are insanely low pressure. The room we got was small and cute. The pillows or the mattress had a very musty smell that was over powering of old sweat. It was really cute but the bed and pillow smell really through me off.

Quaint and charming. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Water pressure could be better, but I would guess the plumbing system is quite old. The staff was genuine and engaging. I was interested in some of the historic facts about the Mansion and they were eager to share and genuinely enthusiastic about where they were working. The breakfast was more than adequate and the 4:00 p.m. wine and charcuterie was a pleasant perk. There are nicer accommodations but the overall experience exceeded the price. I say two thumbs up.

Easy check in. Great staff.
I stayed in the “Thomas” which was exactly as billed. Clean and quiet (except for the 4 AM seagull squabbles!). Water pressure in shower as expected for an older BNB.
Early outings so only had breakfast there once. Lots of choices and well prepared.
Yummy cookies later in the day!
Excellent location. Able to walk everywhere.
Super safe.
Easy parking.
Found out when I was leaving they have bikes one can sign out/use. Would take advantage of that next time.
Would definitely stay again!
Thanks to the staff who were excellent and helpful!

Breakfast was limited for alt-diets. I had the fruit and then we went elsewhere for a full breakfast. Parking was doable, had no issues finding a spot for a few hours and moving our car as needed. Lighting was sub-par...as with many places, it was all on and bright or bedside lights on and dim for the greater room. The jet tub didn’t jet but it was still very relaxing and accommodated larger bodies. The fireplace was nice. The fridge could have been a tad larger to accommodate restaurant leftovers. The staff were so kind and welcoming. The ved was comfortable.

When we check in we were given the keys to our room. We went to the room and then left for dinner. I thought that I had reserved a room with a king bed, we got a room with a queen bed. I checked my reservation and my reservation indicated we had a different room with king bed. I asked the front desk why and they said they upgraded us since the room we had reserved has the bathroom across the hallway. They offered to move us to that room but I didn't want to have to pack everything back up just for one more night, especially since we are really just sleeping there and gone during the day. I really appreciated that they offered, although it would have been nice if when we checked in he would have told us then. It was much nicer to have the bathroom in the room rather than across the hall and we did have a fireplace that the other room did not have. The room was quiet. It also would have been nice to have two chairs for two guest to sit in. The bed was terrible but we are used to our very good bed at home. The only other complaint was the lack of water pressure in the shower but that is common at hotels. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the glass of wine in the afternoon with snacks. It was a very nice stay. I would stay here again.

The good news is that the location was fantastic & the place was clean but that's about it. The Thomas room was so small even though there were just 2 of us. I couldn’t tell that from the photos. No desk no extra chair. Bathroom: the basin was in the bedroom not in the bathroom which was just weird. The bathtub lever was stuck & the shower had no pressure. Breakfast was OK but just not well thought out. This sounds petty but the plates were so heavy & there were only really tiny bowls, not really big enough for cereal. All in all we were a little disappointed in our stay.

Our room had an outside seating area, which is presented as private but it is not! Very awkward to have staff and guests walking through what we thought was our area. The fireplace did not work and then the milk I put in my coffee was spiked and I’ve been sick all day. Terrible!
The room itself was pretty and the inn attractive, but the issues we had mean we are not coming back.

Very disappointing … We were very excited about staying here after looking at all the photos on their website of spacious, comfortable rooms … The room we got was just the opposite - small, cramped and extremely warm. The two fans we were provided were dusty & dirty but we had no choice but to use them … Lack of screen in the only window made my wife uncomfortable due to insects & safety concerns … Bathroom also small. Other guests were raving about their rooms as we were rolling our bags out - skipping breakfast - to try and just put our experience behind us. Sooo very disappointed.

Amazing B&B

This B&B is Amazing!!!! The staff was very friendly always spoke to you when they saw you. Check-in and Check-out was a breeze. The Breakfast was simple but Great, the fruit was delicious. They had quite a variety of Tea selection for you. The property was well kept and just a short way to the beach. There are quite a few restaurants located next to them. 5 Star B&B

Staff was very nice. Property was impeccable. We appreciate the room upgrade. Front desk person (we forget her name) made an excellent recommendation for dinner at a walkable place where the food was excellent. My only gripe (and its minimal) is that this was listed as a bed a breakfast. While they did have breakfast, it wasn't anything more or less special than what you would see at any other large hotel chain. Not knocking the breakfast as it was good, but typical a B&B has a breakfast menu that usually has unique offerings that are made fresh to order... at least in our experience. Other than that, this property is well run and I would recommend it as long as you set your expectations to a run of the mill breakfast offering.

This is a wonderfully maintained and, perfectly located near a couple of our favorite restaurants. The walk down to the water was enjoyable everyday and it's only a roughly 30 minute walk to more of the touristy parts of Monterey, like the aquarium and Cannery Row. Breakfast was great. I'd recommend getting to breakfast a little earlier than the rest of the house, as it gets fairly crowded quickly. This is now our go-to place to stay in that area.

This is a beautiful Inn with spacious rooms. Loved the wine and snacks upon check in. Enjoyed the fireplace and the staff were lovely. Breakfast was nice with many options and check in/out was simple and quick. I was traveling with my mother who is handicapped and it wasn’t very accessible. The parking was on the street and very difficult to access as it was on a steep narrow hill and the pavement was extremely uneven. I had to unload her on to the sidewalk near the room, blocking the narrow street, leave her there and find parking. The bathtub shower was very high and I had to help her get in and out practically lifting her myself. It is a lovely Inn but a bit difficult if traveling with someone with limited mobility. If someone were in a wheelchair it would be very difficult to impossible to navigate.

Nice location, even nicer Inn

Check in was letter perfect with really welcoming staff. We enjoy the location as it is close to good restaurants and the wonderful Bookstore Coffee shop. So walkable. The room was small, but charming, as expected. Breakfast was great, wine and snacks at 4:00 very nice too. Our only complaint was that the mattress was too mushy for our tastes. It could be just right for others. We really enjoyed our stay. It was our second stay and we would some back.

My stay at Gosby House Inn in Pacific Grove was nothing short of magical. This charming Victorian bed and breakfast, part of the Four Sisters Inns, offers the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and coastal charm.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality. The staff made us feel right at home and were happy to offer local recommendations. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with elegant period details and inviting common areas that add so much character.

Our room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated, featuring a comfy bed, a fireplace, and a clawfoot tub that made evenings feel extra special. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium and scenic 17-Mile Drive.

One of the highlights was the delicious breakfast served each morning — fresh fruit, homemade pastries, and a warm entrée, all enjoyed in a bright and cheerful dining room. In the afternoon, the wine and hors d’oeuvres made for a lovely touch, encouraging guests to slow down and relax.

The location is ideal — just a short stroll from the beach, charming downtown Pacific Grove, and minutes from Carmel and Big Sur.

Gosby House Inn is truly a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful, romantic retreat with personal touches you won't find in larger hotels. I can’t wait to come back!

My favorite inn

It’s the best stay I have. The staff, especially Ivy was helpful, explained to me the facilities including the hours for wine, cheese and cookies besides leading me to my room and checked everything before giving me the keys. Room was clean, quiet and had all the amenities I needed. The breakfast was so delicious that I I told the front desk when I checked out that I will certainly be back again soon!

Charming, Comfortable, and Welcoming

We had a wonderful two-night stay at the Gosby House Inn and left feeling refreshed and cared for. The historic Victorian charm of the building is immediately inviting, and while the architecture and décor reflect the inn’s rich history, inside did not feel outdated or worn. It’s a great balance of old-world character and modern comfort.
From the moment we arrived, Vera at check-in made us feel truly welcome. She was warm, kind, and helpful—a perfect introduction to what turned out to be a consistently friendly and attentive staff. Everyone we encountered during our stay seemed genuinely happy to be there and happy to help.
We stayed in Room 15, the Jewel Room. Before booking, we saw some reviews mentioning potential noise due to its proximity to the kitchen, so we were prepared for that possibility. However, we found the noise level to be completely minimal—just a little normal kitchen sound during breakfast hours, which was in no way disruptive. It didn’t detract from our experience at all.
Breakfast each morning was a highlight. The menu was varied and everything we tried was delicious. It was a pleasant way to start the day. They even make eggs to order if you ask.
Parking was easy and hassle-free, which we really appreciated. The neighborhood seemed very safe and walkable too. We loved how easy it was to walk to the coastal path.

So very welcoming from the beautiful Victorian design and remodeled rooms to the wonderful staff with whom we have become friends, and the delectable hot breakfasts every morning! And in the sleepy town of Pacific Grove, so very relaxing! Perfect place for a composition retreat! And just blocks from the waterfront with crashing waves and sea life!!

The Gosby House is tranquil place of rest, affording a peaceful stay for travelers. The rooms maintain an historic feel while committing to modern conveniences. It is perfectly located within Pacific Grove being close to the scenic bay, many excellent restaurants, a movie theater, an abundance of coffee houses and within a healthy walk’s distance to Monterey Bay Aquarium. We have stayed at the Gosby House on four occasions and we plan to go back. The only slight inconvenience with staying at the Gosby House is their lack of effort offering gluten, dairy, soy free options to guests with stated sensitivities. We have found, it is better to stay at the Gosby House and forego the last second attempts offered by staff to meet our previously stated food requirements. In so doing, we find our morning meal in the community. There are several sensational breakfast options within the immediate neighborhood.

Liked the fireplace in our room. Also thought they did a good job with breakfast, fresh egg dishes and a different pastry each day. First day was a blueberry cornmeal coffeed cake and we got fresh biscuits too on our last day. Place was centrally located so just a few minutes to Monterey and about 15 min. to Carmel. The staff were all very nice and helpful.
