Great hotel easy parking comfy beds. Very convenient

Our room was fine but I got zapped by an electrical outlet while plugging in the hair dryer.

Great location, an easy walk to ferry and train stations. The rooms are small, but clean and well laid out.

Loved the older building with updated features that made for a very comfortable stay. Very clean, nice room overlooking the harbor with small convenient kitchenette. Excellent comfortable king bed with convenient electrical charging capability on both sides. Very convenient location for access to the downtown area including the ferry, bus and train stations, but far enough from bustle and noise- very quiet. A fine continental breakfast with a great coffee maker for cappuccinos and more. Really enjoyed spending time in the cozy onsite pub and blethering a bit with the very congenial and accommodating host, with a good selection of drafts and extensive assortment of fine whiskys (wee suggestion: I would have loved a real dartboard 😉). I really enjoyed our three nights there and eagerly look forward to the next time we can visit Oban and revisit the Kelvin for our next stay. Highly recommended!

No on site parking. Basic amenities. No restaurant. Easy to town. Expensive for what it is.

Great value. Super clean. Loved it

there was paid parking across the road which was very safe, although we managed to use the free overnight street parking,across the road from the hotel. the room was a studio loft with limited cooking facilities, but sufficient for a stay of a few days. The staff were very friendly and the small bar was cosy and had a relaxed homely (in a good way) atmosphere. being a small port town, all the essentials were nearby, and the train station and ferry terminal were very close as well. Surprisingly the rooms were very quiet despite the proximity of the transport hub.

The Kelvin is in an older building with a lot of charm. The room was large and clean with good amenities, including a kitchenette which was quite handy. The statt were very helpful and super friendly. Our bed was relatively comfortable as well. There is only paid parking available, but it was conveniently located right across the street from the hotel, which worked well for us and gave us the freedom to wander around Oban on foot. The bar downstairs was a nice place to relax in the evenings with games to play and patrons to chat with.

The ceilings were low but the hotel was in a convenient location

Sheena, the manager, greeted us at check-in welcoming us to The Kelvin. We always stay here when we come to Oban. The location can't be beat, right next to the ferry terminal and the train station, shops and restaurants within minutes of walking out the door. The staff here is always friendly and the bar is one of the coziest in town. This is always a winner.

Parking was across the street and low cost. The room was clean, the bar area comfy, the staff very accommodating and friendly! Convenient location.

We had a great time, Sheena was a wonderful host. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is 5 minute walk to the ferry. Parking across the street. £7.50 a day. Close to downtown too. This is a true gem. 5*/5.

Good location, easy check-in and checkout. Clean and comfortable.

The Kelvin is always where I stay when I'm in Oban. Not only is it a convenient location next to the train and ferry stations, but the accommodations are clean and cozy. Sheena, the manager is very welcoming and the bartender Danny was a pleasure to talk with. The bar area is especially inviting with a good selection of beers on tap. You can't go wrong here.

Vi fick ett fint rum under takåsen. Rymligt och rent. Bra, fräscht badrum. Mysigt.

Staff were really helpfull

Good location, nice clean rooms and pleasant staff

I definitely recommend The Kelvin. The manager was very helpful and recommending things to do and how to get there, etc..The room had a kitchenette and warming towel rack. Really nice!

Convenient and clean

The family room set up was helpful with the twin beds in separate areas. Kids got a good nights sleep. The room was clean though worn and musty -one in our group has a dust allergy and woke sneezing and sniffling profusely. Proximity to the ferry terminal made the room quite noisy.
