You really cannot ask for more...the location, the view, the convenience, the charm, and the friendly staff. This was my first time here, and here for work, but I will be back again and again. Such a true gem of Charleston, and I am so glad I found this hotel!

This is a remarkable, unique property in Charleston, right down on the Battery. It's a historic home that has been lovingly and beautifully restored. It is spectacular. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for something special, this is it.

We absolutely loved our stay at 20 South Battery. The building and grounds are beautiful and historic. The location is perfect! Can walk everywhere from the waterfront and into the French Quarter. We cannot wait to return and we will be telling friends and families that it’s a must stay when in Charleston. The evening wine and charcuterie on the front porch was lovely as well! Thank you very much!!

So happy we stayed at 20 South Battery. The staff was outstanding. So kind, helpful and informative. Definitely went above and beyond to accommodate. The location was perfect. Just out of the heart of the busier, noisier areas but still close to everything. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning!

This property has several rooms - some are in the main house: some are on street level (similar to a basement), and some are surrounded by a garden. We paid an exorbitant rate for a small garishly decorated room, without much light, and cheap ceramic tile floors (not the wood floors pictured). The one good thing - it was located on a quiet street. We also checked out a day early (for illness) and were still charged. Totally disputing ********** because the independent hotel charge was half of what ********** charged me. Never using this service again.

Cool place. Great location. Historic. Glad we stayed here. That said, creaky doors and floors, thin walls (expected in a 150 year old house). Marginal air conditioning. Service was incredible. Overall experience was great.

Wow, what a memorable stay my husband and I recently had at 20 South Battery! This lovely, historic building has been beautifully renovated, with a peaceful and pretty private garden in the back.
Our suite on the 3rd floor was very spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed breakfast as well as the evening wine & cheese socials on the front porch!
The hotel doesn't have an elevator, and its location means a 10-15 minute walk to visit many of the city's attractions and restaurants. That suited us just fine, as we saw many lovely mansions and carriage houses on our daily walks. Taking pedicab rides to/from dinner was a nice (and relaxing) way to see the city at night!
The hotel staff - in particular Ryan, Molly, Abby and Mack - were absolutely the best, they couldn't do enough to welcome us to the hotel and to Charleston. Thank you all for everything - we hope to be back someday soon!!!
