The Ansonborough offers a historic Charleston experience with modern comforts, praised for its beautiful architecture, spacious rooms, and convenient location. However, recent reviews highlight inconsistencies in service, noise levels, and breakfast quality, alongside concerns about added fees and outdated amenities.
I couldn’t agree more with Steven Smiths review . Rooms spacious, clean and great location. With the exception of Susie there was zero hospitality. 35 dollars a night to park with no valet or luggage assistance. With an average of 400.00 a night you’d think you’d get better than a Hampton Inn. Not sure what people are thinking raving about breakfast. It was watery grits and an “egg” shaped like a pancake but thin as paper. Fruit was some sort of melon. We ate breakfast out after first morning. They did offer 2 free “signature “ welcome drinks. My wife asked the bartender what the drink was and he pointed to a sign that listed drink without saying a word. That was our initial interaction with staff ?. I loved the building and the room but not enough to comeback.
The hotel main areas and our room were impeccably clean and comfortable. Truly beautiful! Breakfast was truly amazing! The location is convenient and the ultimate reason I chose this hotel. My only heartburn concerned transparency in billing. This hotel charges a credit card convenience fee, which I didn't learn about until check-in. When I said I would see if I had the cash, I was told they are a cash-less hotel! I find it unconscionable that they would charge a credit card convenience fee and refuse to accept cash! Additionally, the $35 parking fee was actually $39.10. They added taxes and...a credit card convenience fee. It truly was a beautiful venue and I would stay again however, I felt people needed to know that posted prices have many taxes and fees added.
What an amazing experience! Complete 5 stars from check in to check out. We arrived and Matthew took care of us at the front desk. He told us about all the amenities in the hotel and also pointed us in the right direction for some of the best seafood in Charleston. The location of the hotel is easy to find with onsite parking and walking distance to many attractions and dining options. When we walked in i was instantly blown away at the beautiful architecture inside of this repurposed 1800's warehouse. The decor is impeccable and true to the era of the building and the colonial and maritime tradition of the area. Our room was stunning, with high ceilings and appointed with beautiful craftsmanship, exposed beams, and decor, with a great wet bar and an amazing bathroom. The bed was perfectly comfortable and we got a wonderful night's sleep. The complimentary drinks upon arrival were on point, and were the perfect refresher after a long drive. The included breakfast was just right with a good selection of items, and bottomless coffee was the perfect wake-me-up. We will absolutely be staying here again the next time we visit Charleston, and next time we are booking more than one night because the city has so much to see and do and our only disappointment was that we couldnt do it all in one night! Thank you for making our stay an experience we cant wait to return to!
What a ? GEM.. This place far exceeded our expectations. The location was amazing and in walking distance to everything. The establishment is superior with cleanliness, hospitality, and decor. The rooms were impeccably clean and the attention to detail is spot on. The evening bar crowd was so much fun and the rooftop was stunning and romantic. If I could give 10 ?? stars I would.. we will definitely be back.. Ps. There was a wonderful woman there named Susie and she is the sweetest. Thanks Ansonborough for your wonderful hospitality ?

We had a wonderful stay at The Ansonborough in Charleston! This beautiful boutique hotel does a great job of blending historic Charleston charm with modern comforts. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and full of character. The location is fantastic—you can easily walk to many of Charleston’s restaurants, shops, and historic sights. We also loved the rooftop area, which was a great place to relax after exploring the city. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the entire hotel had a warm, relaxed atmosphere. If you’re looking for a charming place to stay while experiencing downtown Charleston, The Ansonborough is definitely worth considering. We would happily stay here again!
Beautiful rooms. Elevator not in service but not a big deal. Really nice breakfast not just continental Eggs, pastries, meat, fruit yogurt and more. A few blocks away from the main street and quiet. There is a grocery store right across street.
Great place to stay in walking distance of most everything you want to do. We rented bikes and had a blast touring the town. Be sure to check it out as it gets dark. Very helpful staff and had a small breakfast to start the day.
We had the absolute best experience at The Ansonborough during our wedding weekend! The property itself is beautiful, the rooms were incredibly nice and comfortable, and everything felt so clean and well taken care of. But the real reason our stay was so amazing was because of Julia. She went truly above and beyond for us from start to finish. She was unbelievably accommodating, responsive, kind, and organized throughout the entire weekend. She even helped coordinate our rehearsal dinner at the hotel’s onsite bar/lounge, which made everything so seamless and stress free for us and our families. We are so grateful for everything Julie and the rest of the team did and cannot recommend The Ansonborough enough!
We recently stayed at The Ansonborough and overall appreciated the location and charm of the property. However, our experience was significantly impacted by noise during our stay. Our room faced East Bay Street, and each night we experienced constant loud traffic noise including cars with music, motorcycles, and vehicles revving engines late into the night. It made it very difficult to sleep and affected the quality of our stay. We brought this to the attention of the front desk during our stay and requested a room change, but none were available at the time. We were told we could move the following day, but the timing was not feasible with our plans. We also followed up with management after checkout, but have not received a response regarding any adjustment. We understand some level of city noise is expected in a downtown location, but the intensity and consistency each night went beyond what we anticipated. I travel frequently for work and have been exposed to many different hotel stays. We would have appreciated more support or flexibility in resolving the issue while we were on property. We are sharing this feedback in hopes that it’s helpful for future guests and also in hopes of a response from management regarding our experience.
Pros: 1. Location 2. Cleanliness 3. Large rooms and well designed 4. Easy to get to your room 5. Front lobby area and bar area are great 6. The bartender Manny is a must see. He makes stellar drinks 7. Easy parking (for a price) Cons: 1. Rooms can be a bit loud as the walls seem thin. Overall, great place with a great staff.
