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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
