    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

    Location for all of downtown Charlestons bars, shops and restaurants.

    Staff was great

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Lovely rooms. We had a balcony and that was lovely. Rooms are well laid out and kitchen in room is fabulous. Rooftop bar was nice as was “first in line for hotel guests” policy. It was a bit pricey, especially for not offering a breakfast, but we were there during local college graduation so that might have affected prices

    Just nice

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Loved the interior design, comfort, room amenities. Rooftop bar with great service and vibe. Extremely spacious rooms with washer, dryer and kitchenette! Very comfortable bed and bedding. Valet service was excellent but the hotel could use another arrival spot in front of the hotel for unloading when there are multiple arrivals at same time. This would only be an issue during "rush hour" traffic.

    I absolutely loved the Nickel! All the service we received was phenomenal! It was the perfect place to stay. I will be back!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Well-appointed room! Spacious layout with high quality finishes. The staff went above and beyond showing the highest level of hospitality. Cannot recommend The Nickel enough.

    Best place ever!!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    We absolutely loved the location and kitchenette while traveling with our baby. This place blew our expectations out of the water. Perfect spot and the staff was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Don't sleep on the rooftop bar either. The curtains and the bathroom setup. The half-glass shower is not my favorite and there's virtually no counter space around the sink which made it difficult for my wife and I to share the bathroom. Of course, it's Charleston so you have to be aware that there will be 10,000 college kids (I was one of them not so long ago) outside of your hotel from 7pm to midnight Thursday - Saturday until the end of May.

    The room with all of the various amenities, kitchen with full refrigerator freezer, appliances, and microwave. Stepping outside to the interior courtyard with an outside fireplace. It felt cozy, contemporary, and relaxing at the same time. It is on King Street so you have access to all of the places within walking distance of downtown Charleston.

    Friendly staff, splendid room

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The champagne greeting on arrival was nice! And the rooftop bar.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Wonderful hotel, and I have stayed in many in Charleston. the room was huge and full of unexpected amenities like a full kitchen and a washer/dryer. The second floor lounge provides free coffee and tea each morning and has a beautiful outdoor area. The rooftop bar is just the icing on the cake. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. My car was valet parked by a lovely crew.
