Emily, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful old house which is maintained by people that appreciate its beauty and history. My wife and I spent our anniversary here and explored Charleston after we hadn’t been here in years. This place added to the occasion with wonderful staff and beautiful accommodations
Otfried, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful time in Charleston and the room was the cherry on the Top! After a long day walking the bed was so comfortable, the room was nice and cool! Also, we could have just hung out at the hotel and had a great time, it was a museum of wonderful antiques, amazing. The breakfast was outstanding and the Host were fabulous!
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous historic property, like lodging inside of a museum, and directly across the street from beautiful park. Great location, easily walkable to numerous historic homes and sites, restaurants, pubs, ample free street parking. Comfy bed and room. Staff is superb. Highly recommend.

Check in was great. Interesting property. 5:00 reception charcuterie board was very good but BYOB as no alcohol was available gratis or otherwise.

Carol Ann, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Exceptional historic home turned B&B in the most heavenly little spot in Charleston! Staff were warm and welcoming with quick and easy check-in and checkout. We were guided on a lovely tour of the home as well (highly recommend this if time allows). The room was spacious and updated; extremely comfortable bedding was a major plus after a long travel day. It was a joy to sit on the front porch in the morning while enjoying the ocean breeze, watching horse drawn carriages trot by, and seeing all the visitors to come to see the beautiful park. This is truly a wonderful place to stay and one of few opportunities to stay in this area of the city; highly recommend 20 South Battery!
Jill, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

20 South Battery is a wonderful place to stay during your visit to Charleston. The details felt like I’d stepped into a piece of history, and you immediately feel the Southern welcome. The room was elegant, comfortable bed and windows overlooked the garden. You order breakfast the night before and it’s brought right to your door in the morning or you go to the dinning room if you prefer. Definitely a nice touch. They offer complimentary afternoon reception from 5 to 6 PM with charcuterie and non- alcoholic drinks. Everything was excellent: Perfect location, wonderful amenities, and that real Southern hospitality that made my stay feel extra pampered. Thanks.
Mercedes, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An incredible, historic hotel. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. In addition the staff was excellent at recounting the history of the place and the surrounding area. Very well located, really enjoyable, especially if you like history.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful home with fascinating history and filled with antiques. The staff was gracious and generous.
Charlotte, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff are phenomenal. We received a text prior to check-in with specific details to ensure check-in went smoothly. Be sure to complete the tour early in your stay, especially if you're staying in a ground floor suite. I appreciated the focus on hydration as Charleston is warm in June. The on-street parking worked well as most of the available spots opened after 4:00 p.m.

Our room was very nice and comfortable. Loved having breakfast and evening wine and cheese in the main house. The staff is very attentive to every need. Also loved spending time in the garden area in the yard.
Andrew, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really loved this hotel. It felt like a true Charleston experience and the staff was amazing. The location is fabulous too. My one suggestion is I'm always bummed to see the tiny plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles in this day and age. Half the product doesn't come out and they get thrown away after a use or two, which is so wasteful. This is such an elegant hotel, I hope they transition this in their showers sometime soon. But still highly recommend!

Julian, 1-night trip

Hotel Cancelled at Last Minute!

Hotel cancelled last minute (while we were on a plane) and had no availability despite us having an invoice that showed we had paid in full. Had to rebook for a (much more expensive hotel) further from the action in Charleston. Two hours on phone to secure rooms in alternative hotel. We were visiting with some friends from Scotland. Quite the worst experience I've ever had on Hotels.com or in a hotel generally. And what's more....Hotels.com don't seem to believe the PDF of our invoice...that they sent us!!!!!
