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.

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.

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.

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!

A lovely boutique hotel located in the heart of Charleston on King Street allowing you within walking distance to amazing restaurants and shops. The hotel was super quiet, room was well appointed, the bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a hotel. The pillow, sheets and comforter made for a relaxing sleep. The ktichen had a full refrigerator, washer and dryer, oven, microwave and stovetop and a well stocked minibar. The staff was super accommodating and housekeeping kept the room spotless.

The room was perfect - large, clean, quiet, comfortable, and modern. It felt more like a studio apartment than a hotel room in all the right ways. The kitchenette was equipped with all the comforts of home and then some. Linens were great and the bed was super comfortable. Staff was welcoming, helpful, and personable. But our favorite parts were the coffee bar/lounge on the second floor and the restaurant/bar on the top floor. They were so cozy & convenient! Hot coffee overlooking a beautiful courtyard on a chilly morning? An amaretto hot chocolate on a cold January night? All without leaving the hotel??? Yep...perfect!
