We stayed here for our anniversary. Such a lovely hotel. Staff was great and our room was amazing! Great location too!

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay! The balcony room was gorgeous, with everything we needed, including a washer and dryer, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The rooftop bar had great service and a friendly bartender. The location was great with restaurants, bars, shopping, and a parking garage all nearby. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Gorgeous property with a balcony that opens up to a lovely garden in the courtyard… the hotel room had literally everything including a washer, dryer, full sized refrigerator, a gas range, microwave, stocked minibar with wine, beer, liquor, snacks, sodas… Loved the live plants in the room! There was a helpful valet on site along with a convenient rooftop bar for a cocktail and glass of wine. One of our premium bottle waters for sale was opened and half drunk in the refrigerator-I was charged for that although I’m assuming it was the previous guest who actually drank it (I know it wasn’t me, so that’s kind of gross).

Fantastic hotel located right in the middle of the action on King Street. Amazingly, the hotel is quiet and peaceful with a lovely rooftop bar. Loved it!

This hotel was perfect. Perfect location, perfect room…the kitchenette was fantastic (even thought we didn’t use it). Bed and pillows comfortable too. I could live in the robe as well. The rooftop bar was great. Definitely gets club-like with loud music at night…so perfect For the younger crowd. Will definitely be back.

The Nickle exceeded my expectations. The staff was warm and welcoming, the decor and vibe was immaculate, the courtyard was such a nice touch— and the surrounding area was delightful. I highly recommend booking an in-room massage with Zendulgence while you’re there— it was worth every penny! We will be staying at The Nickle again!

Great location! Hotel is convenient to all restaurants and shopping. Staff is great and always available. The balcony is amazing with views of all of Charleston. The room was clean and comfortable. Decorated beautifully and esthetic atmosphere.

The Nickel hotel is a pied a Terre concept… separate bedroom, bathroom, sitting area and kitchen. It is spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. The location is great as you are on King and can get to restaurants and shopping but away from the loud night life. Will go again.

8/10 Very good

Staff was lovely; room gorgeous. Shower handle fell off at first use; bananas were rotten in breakfast suite.

The Nickel was outstanding. We have stayed at numerous 5 star hotels around Charleston, (hotel Bennett, the dewberry etc) and the Nickel is by far our favorite. It’s beautifully designed and feels fresh and brand new. The kitchenette actually came in handy numerous times. We took advantage of the free bike rentals and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect. We will definitely be back.

Smaller location made the staff attentive and on point. Complimentary bikes and morning coffee spread a nice touch. Only downside was the room faced the central shared atrium where voices carried in the morning
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Can't say enough great things about this property. The location is fantastic (as long as you want to be in the middle of a fun and busy area packed with lots of great bars, restaurants and shops), the rooftop bar has spectacular views, the rooms are very well appointed and feel huge because of the layout, and the service was very attentive. And it really wasn't that expensive, relative to some other more well-known properties on King Street. All around, we had a great experience and would highly recommend The Nickel!

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms was surprisingly spacious. I booked a courtyard room that walked out into the courtyard. So beautiful. The room was very comfortable. The staff was so welcoming at check in. I parked at the parking garage closest to the hotel. It was a short walk but if you have your arms full, better to unload at the lobby first. We were there to see a band play at charleston music hall just 2 blocks over. Not a long walk but you pass plenty of dining options along the route. Location is great for exploring shops and restaurants. I will definitely come back.
