We had an excellent experience here! Had such a fun time chatting with our bartender, Lorraine. She was knowledgeable & the cocktails were superb. Will definitely be returning!

Great experience all around. The staff was fantastic. The rooms were really nice and has a kitchen, steamer, and a washer and dryer. All the rooms open to a courtyard. The rooftop bar has a great vibe and location is right in the middle of everything. Loved our stay i would highly recommend.

Literally cannot say enough good things about this place. Truly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Needed somewhere for a last minute hotel for an overnight girls trip. Found this place online, and I’m so glad I did. It’s in the heart of Charleston next to all the best spots. Can’t wait to come back and stay again!! 10000000000000000/10!

First time staying here and we loved it! We’re local here in Charleston and stayed overnight for New Year’s. The rooms are large and well appointed; the rooftop bar area and 2d floor lounge are fantastic. We also liked the good and reasonably priced selection of snacks and drinks in the room. Customer service is top notch. And kudos to whoever decided no carpet in the rooms—bravo. They invested in high quality windows facing King St that kept it very quiet in the room. Can’t say enough good things about it. Tip: great public parking is nearby so don’t opt for valet. We’re glad we got in at a reasonable introductory rate because the price on this will skyrocket soon. Pound-for-pound, the best hotel in town.

Our stay at Hotel Nickel in Charleston, South Carolina was nothing short of exceptional. We spent five days there over Christmas, and from the moment we arrived, the experience felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely special. The hotel itself is a beautifully curated boutique property—perfectly appointed, elegant, and filled with more amenities than we could have imagined. Every detail felt intentional, creating an atmosphere that was both luxurious and welcoming. What truly elevated our stay, however, were the people. Alana at the front desk and Ty, the bellhop, went far beyond outstanding service. Their personal touches, warmth, and attentiveness turned our visit into something truly memorable. Over the course of our stay, what began as excellent hospitality grew into a genuine sense of friendship. They made us feel completely at home, anticipated our needs, and brought so much heart to everything they did. The entire experience felt surreal in the best way—rare attention to detail, sincere kindness, and a level of care that’s increasingly hard to find. Hotel Nickel is a gem, and Alana and Ty are absolute stars. We will absolutely return and recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone visiting Charleston. A truly unforgettable stay.

Absolutely incredible stay! The hotel was spotless and comfortable, but what really made it stand out was the amazing staff. From check-in to check-out, every single person we encountered went out of their way to be friendly, helpful, and genuine. You can tell they take pride in making guests feel welcome. It’s rare to find a team this attentive and kind — they truly made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend staying here if you want top-notch service and a great experience!

We really enjoyed a 2 night stay to celebrate our anniversary. Greeted at reception with a glass of grand cru champagne got my attention. Every room seems to have a balcony overlooking the courtyard. A thoughtful anniversary card from the GM was in our room. Complimentary bottle of prosecco chilled in our fridge. Hit all the bases! A home run stay. Reception staffers and valet excellent also!

We had an amazing experience at The Nickel Hotel in Charleston. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to the sensational two-bedroom apartment, which was stunning—spacious, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful details. The amenities were top-notch, especially the Le Labo toiletries in the Hinoki scent—a luxurious touch that stood out. Upstairs at Rosemary, the lounge had a great atmosphere with friendly, approachable staff and a welcoming vibe. The views were gorgeous, especially at sunset. Food-wise, everything we tried was excellent. Highlights included the fish and chips, chickpea fritters, tuna carpaccio, and the creamy burrata—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Every part of our stay felt elevated and personal. If you're visiting Charleston and want a stylish, comfortable place with great service and food, The Nickel Hotel is a fantastic choice.

Loved our stay at the Nickel! It is so beautifully decorated and a gem in downtown Charleston. We stayed for a little staycation and loved the bar and patio.

Great hotel, it had everything we needed for 2 days. Their car service from the airport to the hotel was efficient and convenient. Customer service was excellent and interior design is trendy and well done. Luxury and comfort all at once.
