Stayed overnight on our way to Florida and would stay again! Yes the hotel is old but what do you expect? It’s very well kept very clean and we loved the location and boutique feel! We will be coming back next time we are in Charleston! Would not recommend for elderly people as they do have stairs that are steep so plan according! But my almost 2 year old had no issue so I would say kid friendly!

Room 2 was loud in the very early am. Could hear all movement on the stairs- probably to be expected in historic property, but there was also loud construction or some kind of engine nearby starting at 6 am every day including the weekend. Couldnt figure out the thermostat so it was cold at night. Also they wouldnt give us a late checkout, which I understand but was still a bit frustrating. A warning about the early morning noise would be nice.

Nice lodgings

Beautiful lodging, super convenient location. My only complaint is that there was not "regular" decaf coffee, only espresso machine with creamer in the lobby.

Feedback from room 5&6

I booked two rooms for trip with friends. There are a couple things I want to share for better service in the future. 1. Breakfast was served at 1st FL and coffee maker was broken. Many of customers were not happy. 2. Coffee maker at room 5 was broken too. 3. Air filter was super noisy at room 5&6. 4. Toilet in room 6 was kept flashing. 5. Bath soap bottle in shower room at room 6 was broken.

Even though there were no staff on site, everything we needed was available. The room was clean, attractive and the bed was comfortable. We had direct access to the large second floor porch. We took the complimentary bikes down Ashley St. and around the Citadel. Breakfast was good (but only coffee mate for coffee). Would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful old home and our room was lovely. The bathroom was gorgeous - the only thing I would change is to add a second mirror as the one above the sink was small and not very clear. A full length in the room would be amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was lack listed. Some real milk for coffee would have been nice. But there are cafes within walking distance and an amazing French patisserie in town. We would stay here again if we came back to Charleston.

LOVED THE ASHLEY!

The Ashley is the most beautiful, quaint hotel in the area. We had Room 3 which was perfect for two friends. The main room had a king bed plus desk and coffee area, and a separate room with a fold out sofa! Gave us both the privacy and space we needed. PLUS had the most gorgeous veranda! It was warm enough to sit outside for a bit. The shower had so much water pressure - a treat for California girls. They offered a delicious breakfast bagel and coffee bar with sodas and waters. Great value! The manager Price was so kind as he had to come back to help us with the lock. He was personable and offered suggestions of where to go and what to do. We would go back to Charleston just to stay at The Ashley!

Be aware if it matters; it is not a full service bed and breakfast. There is no staff on site usually. The room and accommodations were fine but its more a self service model. Also it is about a mile or so to most of the main 'attractions' if walking is an issue.

The Ashley has the perfect vintage charm! Nicely remodeled with new amenities without losing the old Charleston feel. Breakfast availability was great and we didn’t have to use the car once, the property was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Will be back!

We were without power in the bathroom due to a breaker issue in another room. Then, the fire alarm went off about 1:30 in the morning in another room. There was a downstairs to our room that was below ground, it had no windows and was damp- not worth paying for. To top it off, I became ill overnight and we had to leave a day early, not heard if I will be charged for the day we had to leave. I’ll go back to Charleston, but will not stay here.
