I overly love The Nickel Hotel the entire staff are so welcoming!! I just love the energy there:) The Nickel Hotel in Charleston SC is always my Top pick when I’m in the area .
One year old hotel, spotless, gorgeous decor! A nice surprise was a coffee grinder for fresh coffee, full kitchenette, and a washer & dryer! Walking distance to great restaurants. Staff was really helpful. I would highly recommend.
I took a long time trying to determine which hotel to stay at for our first visit to Charleston. I was thrilled with our decision. The room with access to the courtyard was a unique experience that we will never forget. The room was beautifully laid out and decorated, and had wonderful amenities. The offering of slippers to guests is a detail that adds that extra touch for its guests, and is one of my fav items when staying at a hotel.
Our room was clean. The courtyard experience was so lovely and exceeded our expectations.
We stayed here for our anniversary. Such a lovely hotel. Staff was great and our room was amazing! Great location too!

This was my second time at the property.
The first time I stayed the staff was extremely helpful and the bathroom was clean. Loved the tile design. Three weeks later, different room. The bathroom had that brown mildew in the shower and around the plastic of the door. Gross. Maybe a different cleaning person for that room. Either way, won’t be going back.
On to try the rest of Charleston hotels. Hopefully they clean their bathrooms better.
Fantastic hotel located right in the middle of the action on King Street. Amazingly, the hotel is quiet and peaceful with a lovely rooftop bar.
Loved it!
Honestly? This is probably one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at and I’ve stayed a LOT. I didn’t expect a full ass kitchen with even a dishwasher, AND a in unit washer/dryer. I could live here ha!
Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the bar was cool and the courtyard was so pretty.
Great location! Hotel is convenient to all restaurants and shopping. Staff is great and always available. The balcony is amazing with views of all of Charleston. The room was clean and comfortable. Decorated beautifully and esthetic atmosphere.
The Nickel hotel is a pied a Terre concept… separate bedroom, bathroom, sitting area and kitchen. It is spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. The location is great as you are on King and can get to restaurants and shopping but away from the loud night life. Will go again.
The Nickel was outstanding. We have stayed at numerous 5 star hotels around Charleston, (hotel Bennett, the dewberry etc) and the Nickel is by far our favorite. It’s beautifully designed and feels fresh and brand new. The kitchenette actually came in handy numerous times. We took advantage of the free bike rentals and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect. We will definitely be back.
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
Can't say enough great things about this property. The location is fantastic (as long as you want to be in the middle of a fun and busy area packed with lots of great bars, restaurants and shops), the rooftop bar has spectacular views, the rooms are very well appointed and feel huge because of the layout, and the service was very attentive. And it really wasn't that expensive, relative to some other more well-known properties on King Street. All around, we had a great experience and would highly recommend The Nickel!
Greeted with champagne, so thats a nice start. Room was beautiful. Great bed. Balcony overlooked the inner court year. Washer dryer was included. I just voukd have used an iron for my wrinkled shirt, but used the steamer on it.

The staff here is wonderful. Really charming place as well.
The rooms was surprisingly spacious. I booked a courtyard room that walked out into the courtyard. So beautiful. The room was very comfortable. The staff was so welcoming at check in. I parked at the parking garage closest to the hotel. It was a short walk but if you have your arms full, better to unload at the lobby first. We were there to see a band play at charleston music hall just 2 blocks over. Not a long walk but you pass plenty of dining options along the route. Location is great for exploring shops and restaurants. I will definitely come back.
