  Well they don't have ice machines and was told I couldn't get ice then called downstairs and miraculously got ice... And also never went upstairs so the rooftop bar so I don't know because usually there was a line to get in.. Second day tell them to clean our room came back. No such luck..

  The Nickel Hotel is breathtakingly wonderful! The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful at every turn. Valet is a smooth and seamless experience every single time. The building is beautifully decorated with a mix of southern charm and european gothic elegance. There are stunning views from your balcony or the rooftop bar Rosemary Rose. It was our first visit here for my birthday celebration and we will definitely be booking again in the near future. Thank you all for this experience, it was our best hotel stay to date as it truly felt like home away from home!

  Our stay at The Nickel has completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away. The design is a masterclass in modern eclectic charm. Every detail feels intentional. The thoughtful mix of natural wood grain, warm suede, rich fabrics, blackened steel, marble, and soft lighting creates a space that feels sophisticated without ever becoming intimidating. It's luxurious, yet warm and inviting. Our second-floor room overlooking King Street is quaint in the very best way—beautifully proportioned and thoughtfully designed with comfort and flow in mind. Every inch serves a purpose, and nothing feels excessive. The hosts have somehow managed to provide every luxury you could want without overwhelming the space. The living area is a perfect retreat, complete with a wet bar and kitchenette for those evenings when staying in sounds just as appealing as exploring Charleston. The thoughtfully stocked snacks and beverages are available whenever the mood strikes. One of my favorite surprises was discovering a whole-bean coffee grinder, premium coffee beans, a pour-over setup, stovetop kettle, and everything needed to enjoy an exceptional cup of coffee at your own pace. The craftsmanship throughout the room deserves recognition. White oak herringbone floors, marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and carefully selected finishes create an atmosphere that feels elevated yet approachable. Luxury here isn't flashy or pretentious—it's quietly confident. The bathroom is a showroom in itself. The pickled white oak vanity, patterned tile, beautiful fixtures, and spa-like atmosphere transform an everyday shower into a relaxing experience. Every detail feels curated. Then there's the bedroom. Behind a striking steel-framed door with reeded glass panels is a peaceful sanctuary that offers just the right amount of privacy while adding another layer of beautiful design. And the bed? Absolutely exceptional. Comfortable, supportive, and exactly what you hope for after a day exploring Charleston. Before heading out for the evening, do yourself a favor: visit the rooftop bar, enjoy a drink and a light bite, then return to your room and soak in the atmosphere. It's an experience in itself. We are genuinely thrilled with our stay so far. It's rare to find a place where every small detail has clearly been considered—from the architecture and interior design to the guest experience. The team behind The Nickel should be incredibly proud of what they've created. Well done, and thank you for making our Charleston weekend so memorable. We are excited for what's ahead.

  Fell in love with The Nickel as soon as we found it online. I was greatly impressed by the attention to detail in everything from the decor and the complimentary champagne toast at check-in down to the monogrammed toilet paper. Such a great location right on King Street in walking distance to everything in Charleston. We honestly can't wait to stay again next time we're in town! ❤️

  This was my first time in Charleston and now I feel like I need to stay here every time! I arrived early and was able to check in early which was so helpful for my stay! The team was so kind and welcoming and there to assist with any questions we had! Our room was very clean and spacious. The welcome champagne was such a fun touch! Just cannot say enough positive things about our stay! The hotel is gorgeous, the team is so attentive, and we truly felt so accommodated during our stay! Thank you, The Nickel, for making this a great experience!
