What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 125 guest reviews
The Pinch Charleston earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently praising its prime yet quiet location just off King Street, attentive and friendly staff, and well-appointed rooms with practical amenities like full kitchens and in-room washers. The main recurring criticism centres on the breakfast offering, which multiple guests found underwhelming in variety, format, and coffee quality — a notable gap for a property that otherwise feels luxury-tier.
