27 State Street Bed and Breakfast

Un lugar super lindo para pasar unos momentos super agradables 👍

We have stayed on multiple occasions at 27 State Street B&B. We have always had nothing but great things to say about the accommodations and especially about the Host, Donna. She always made our stay, with our dog, very special and we loved to chat with her as she set up the amazing breakfasts for us and the other patrons staying there. ||Sad to say that the new ownership seems to have brought that to a screeching halt. Donna is no longer there and when we tried on several occasions to call and inquire about staying there in the coming weeks. The lady that finally answered the phone (after not returning any messages we left) was very rude and suspicious of why we might be calling the number listed on their own website. When we asked her about availability, she curtly said there was none and when we asked why, she said I can't tell you. Not what we were used to by any means. We will (have) found another pet friendly place to stay in the Quarter this spring and will no longer attempt to make a reservation with them. I have no idea why they treated us, multiple-time returning guests, so rudely, but we got the message and have moved on. Any prior recommendations I gave about staying here will be tracked down and removed as this is not the same place under the new owners!

This charming inn is everything a B&B should be and more! The room was immensely comfortable, with crisp linens, abundant towels and a well-appointed bath. The separate living area offered a comfortable spot for reading and relaxing. Breakfasts were delicious, served on lovely blue and white china on the breezy veranda…fresh fruit, along with bacon, eggs, and tomatoes (and the most delicious hot coffee!) The inn is close to all of the historic sites and theatres we wanted to enjoy, along with fabulous restaurants. The best part? Donna, who is the general manager. She gave excellent guidance for what to do and see, and was a gracious and hospitable host. She anticipated our needs, providing maps, cold water, and a bottle of wine for our anniversary. I highly recommend this wonderful B&B!

We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect couples weekend in historic Charleston and our stay at this gem was a huge reason! Perfectly tucked on a secluded side street in the Old French Quarter, the entry courtyard is just so beautiful and inviting with greenery and a fountain. The limited three bedrooms made it feel so intimate and personalized! We stayed in the State Room, with brick interior walls and historic feel we felt like we stepped back to the early 1800’s (but with all the modern amenities you could hope for!) Breakfast upstairs in the open-air veranda was just perfect and we didn’t even notice it was 90 degrees the days we were there. The included parking was a God-send for our needs. By far the best part was the proprietor, Miss Donna. Starting with our reservation months before, she was impeccably kind and caring and her communication was so genuine and personalized. We thoroughly enjoyed conversing with her during breakfast and she was a wealth of interesting local knowledge (we followed many of her recommendations!) I cannot recommend this B&B more highly for a truly special Charleston experience - thank you, we can’t wait to come back!

An incredible incredible stay here. Right in the heart of downtown Charleston everything is within walking distance and it’s an incredible building. The owner is one of the sweetest people that I have ever encountered, and she took the time to explain everything professionally and clearly he gave us some history about the building. It’s always nice to know what building used to be back in the day. Definitely recommend staying here!!!!

My wife and I visited in June 2024 on our babymoon. Donna was more than hospitable and was so thoughtful. We spoke with Donna about our desire to relocate to the Charleston area some day and she took the time to sit down with us offering great advice. Now for the inn- Perfectly located for strolling around Charleston and close to many of the best sights. We were very comfortable in our suite. Afternoons on the porch were a great way to rest the legs and sip some of Donna's lemonade. P.S Donna, you convinced us to move down there. See you soon! We'll be back down in June.

Since this place has changed hands and Donna House is no longer the manager, there is zero personal touch, congeniality, warmth and over the top care and concern for the visitors! Prices for the rooms are higher and no improvements at all. Montgomery is the person we e mailed, we never met her, as she is not on site so in the event of a problem, there is no recourse, other than an e mail. My wife and I were given enough towels and toiletries for the first two days. We sent an e mail and eventually the cleaning lady showed up with more supplies. The personal touch is gone! No more breakfasts on the veranda every morning, personally prepared by Donna. We received breakfast gift cards for local businesses. We ate at Ruby Sunshine that was only a block away and opened at 7 am. Meals were good. We ate at Millers All day on King Street, but we ate at the Mt Pleasant location. Food was good there too. We weren’t impressed with $3.75 fora cup of coffee, but it was satisfactory. As I understand this arrangement, Montgomery lives in Greenville, SC so if any problem ever arose, there is zero recourse! My wife and I love Charleston and loved 27 State Street B and B, as we have been staying here since 2009, intermittently over the years and twice annually in the past few years, but we will be staying elsewhere with any future visits. Room rates have increased to $474 nightly! No ice, no coffee maker, no linen services, no trash removal, no cleaning services, mini fridge gets no colder than 40 degrees, so it’s ok for drinks, but not for food and no microwave to warm it up. Unimpressed!
