Room was very good (Room 19) had a small kitchen in it with dishwasher & fridge. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Bathroom was small but shower was nice and warm. I'd definitely go back.

The hotel was clean and comfortable the furniture was new and in good condition, the bed was very comfortable and bathroom was clean and functional. The member of staff was very welcoming and chatty. It’s an old building and characters are being maintained within it. For what we saw about the town it was good value for money. Very central.

It is a small hotel (you could call it a large B&B) right in the Oban harbor. There is a pay and display parking lot right across the street - £7.50 for 24 hours. The ferry terminal is right behind the parking lot but you can't walk across the train track so you have to go around the block. Lots of stores and bars nearby and the disilois a short walk away. It has a small bar open in the afternoon and evening, and a small dining area for continental breakfast (not included - buy it the night before at the bar). For check in you'll find an envelope with the key on the small table by the entrance. For check out, you leave the key in the same place. Staff was very friendly. Now the catch - the building is old in and out and it shows. Though they keep it clean, it won't look like new. If I remember well, the price was reasonable and this is probably why. All room are upstairs (1 or 2 floors up) so if you have problems carrying luggage up a steep winding stair, this may not be for you.

The Kelvin Hotel was wonderful place to stay in Oban. The kitchenette was a bonus and the hotel was close to everything and the staff were gracious and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

While the decor needed a little upkeep (painters cauk eg) the location and facilities were good for a few days stay. Great views of the ferry port and couldn’t be handier for ferry/ train/bus anywhere

Room was nice and efficient. Having a small kitchen was a plus. Location is next door to the ferry terminal for those visiting the islands, and paid parking was very convenient. The only negative was the shower, which seemed to have only two settings: ice cold and scalding! But we made do ....

The owner was there to help us even though we showed up very late due to car problems. Perfect stay while in Oban.

Very old hotel. Could use some new carpeting throughout. No staff on duty for check in. Hotel bar was never open. Good location for the ferry. Our room had very low ceilings that forced you to walk hunched over. Morning staff worker Sheena was a doll.
