Great staff, lovely room and common areas. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. One block off King St. for shopping, and conveniently located to College of Charleston, the market and the riverfront. We walked everywhere! If there was a negative it would be that there is a large parking lot behind the property. Overall, an excellent value and stay!
Great location in the French quarter. Walking distance to most attractions.
Breakfast from boxed items. No thrills, but good. Fruits, snacks, water and coffee available all the time.
It's an old building, which fits in the atmosphere of the area.
The location was perfect! A few steps away from King Street and walkable to most landmarks that we wanted to see. Safe a nice neighborhood with lots of shops and places to eat. The Inn itself, was charming and comfortable. Awesome hospitality and staff. Great free breakfast and afternoon snacks. The room was a bit small, but comfortable. It is an old house, so expect a bit of sounds...creaky floors, crying baby, barking dog and a few voices. Nothing that interrupted our stay though. Loved everything about it! If you are looking for modern or state of the art facilities then this is not the place for you. For us, we enjoyed the charm, history, home feel that this place provided.
We were there for a wedding and wanted to stay in an inn. The Barksdale exceeded our expectations. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts and afternoon tea (or wine!) was lovely. Our room was comfortable and charming. The location was great - right between Market and King streets, walkable to everywhere. We highly recommend The Barksdale!
The location is perfect, in the heart of the historic district. We were able to walk everywhere. The staff were friendly and treated us like family. Staying here, felt like home. Aleeyah was especially kind and helpful, answering an array of questions at all hours of the day. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful property from 1778! Breakfast was great as was the staff and the room Great location 1/2 block from all the shopping and restaurants on King St and an easy walk to the other restaurant area by Market St
Nice BnB within walking distance to dining, shopping and many attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good hot breakfast offered and snacks available throughout the day. Room was clean, nicely furnished, but bathroom needs updating.
Perfect stay! Home away from home! Breakfast was great the homemade snacks were delicious. Loved that everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Staff was nice.

Excellent, comfortable, informal, friendly staff, breakfasts were just right.
Service was impeccable. Very friendly and attention to detail. Located by the main drag. A twist to the normal hotels but very cute and great breakfast
What a great place to stay and feel part of the family. MRS P. Will take you under her wing and nothing is too much. Breakfast is great & on tap drinks and snacks.
A quant inn in a great location in historic Charleston. Very friendly staff. Close to King Street shops and restaurants, along with an assortment of other eateries on Meeting Street.
Everything about this property was above and beyond. The staff was so amazing. The rooms are beautiful and clean. Breakfast was fast and good. We will definitely stay again.
