Sheets luxurious, historic house so interesting, sitting on sunny veranda perfect, breakfast served in our room wonderful. Molly gave us a great tour and recommendations on things to do, which we might not have found on our own. Loved this hotel.

Wonderful stay in Charleston!

My husband and I were traveling with another couple and we all truly enjoyed our stay. The location, ambiance, food and staff were all wonderful. Our room in the Carriage House was comfortable and inviting. We would definitely love to stay here again!

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

If you are looking for a historical perspective and place to stay, this is definitely the place!! A small tour upon checking in, and a room that is a part of history!! Close to everything and right on the Battery!!

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!

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.

Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was perfect! But....

What a romantic stay in a spectacular location! The service was way above expectation. We were simply dazzled! (But two things essential to our modern life were missing. With all the historic interpretation of the property, there ought to have been more historic research and credit given to the talented enslaved artisans who actually built the home. Also, an energy audit to seal air leaks would have been valuable during the restoration.) All said, the owner's preservation efforts were extraordinary, the property was made lavishly comfortable for guests, and the opportunity to "live" in an historic home that helped shape Charleston as we know it was an incredible treat.

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

Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
