Loved staying here! The property, inside and out, was beautiful. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The view of the park and the river across the street was lovely. All the positives make up for the location being a bit further from restaurants and bars, although within walking distance depending on your abilities. We’d stay here again!

The location was perfect and the walks to get to all the activities/restaurants were beautiful. The hotel does not have many amenities but that didn't matter to us. The historic mansion was an incredible add to our stay in Charleston. The breakfast was a perfect start to the day. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

20 South Battery Bed and Breakfast is a gem. The check-in was seamless. Parking is on the street. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff were professional, friendly and happily responded to any request or question we may have had. There is a tour of this historic home twice daily which provided history of the property and owners. We enjoyed our breakfast in the garden. 20 South Battery is on a very quiet street, across from White Point Garden and a short walk to the french quarter. We enjoyed our vacation in Charleston and would definitely stay at 20 South Battery again.

Breakfasts were fine, but somewhat limited in options. Parking was extremely convenient, as we were able to park right outside the property every day we were there. Location was great. We were able to walk to great dining experiences and the park across the street was a great place to sit and chat. The top floor reading area was also a great place to relax.

It’s an old building that probably needs some updates. The door to our room had gaps everywhere. We asked to install a weather strip on bottom of door because it had a big gap as well. They installed one. Other than that, everything else was great.

The property is stunning. The room was comfortable, though it could have used more storage space. The plumbing is up-to-date, which is always a concern when booking a vintage property. The various on-duty managers were always friendly, charming and helpful. And it is delightful staying in this neighborhood! I would vigorously recommend this hotel.

If you are looking for a place to stay and experience the history of Charleston, i highly recommend this special place. Furnished in period antiques and featuring carefully restored and maintained rooms, but with a few modern upgrades, this home is fantastic. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful visit.
