3.0 / 10.0

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

4.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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

5.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

Convenient and clean

6.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

The bar check in was easy and convenient! The property was clean and walkable to anything in town. It is right next to the train and the ferry station. The highlight was the staff! They were so kind and fun and made my time enjoyable! I would go back

5.0 / 10.0

Every single thing about this newly refurbished hotel was perfect

8.0 / 10.0

Modest, austere, immaculate hotel right near everything. Nice quiet, private pub downstairs. All transit - ferry terminal, train and buses - a literal stones throw away. Staff were professional and courteous. Also right near restos and shopping. Nothing fancy - just the level of uncomplicated and no-noise making for a restful restorative overnight.

6.0 / 10.0

Owner is lovely and stay was ok. Building is older so room seemed a bit wore down but small updated comforts and a decent bed.

2.0 / 10.0

Staff- only saw one pleasant young man. Room was on top floor with great views. Linen was clean, towels a bit worn.AHowever slanting ceilings caused my tall husband some pain, there were no drawers or shelves for clothes, just storage boxes and seating was a hard rocking chair and 2 very hard bar stools. Dreadful shower and mini sink. You get what you pay for but was not cheap

5.0 / 10.0

The staff was very nice. The place was clean and comfortable and conveniently located.

3.0 / 10.0

We booked to stay here based on Hotels.com saying they had car parking and we needed a place to stash our car for a day while we went on a tour. 1) THIS HOTEL DOES NOT HAVE ONSITE PARKING. There is a paid parking lot nearby. The person working the desk, and by desk I mean bar, said they have tried to get this changed in the description but no one will change it. 2) THIS HOTEL IS CLOSER TO A HOSTEL THAN A HOTEL. As in, old, dirty, worn. We had a family room and quite frankly we ALL chose to wait until the next hotel to shower. 3) The location for taking a ferry out of Oban and eating and wandering is wonderful which is what got it 3 stars. 4) the staff was friendly (we only met 1) 5) the breakfast was £8 and was very slim. I would probably not stay here again but if you wanna be near the ferry with a paid parking lot nearby go for it.

Hotel was in a great location. Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs.

5.0 / 10.0

Had a late arrival and they were very accommodating when we called to make arrangements. Very convenient walking distance to ferry, train, busses, restaurants and shops. Plenty of space in the family room and nice view of the harbor.

5.0 / 10.0

We had an early ferry to make and The Kelvin is very close. There is a bit of noise but not so much that its a problem. The hotel is super clean with nicely done rooms. Check in is very easy and the staff are super friendly. We stayed 2 nights and its very walkable.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a wonderful stop on your journey through Scotland. The people couldn’t be more welcoming. Be sure to meet Keith (the owner’s senior dog) who was a delight while in the bar.

10.0 / 10.0

Great hotel, stayed for 1 night, couldn't ask for a better location.

8.0 / 10.0

Good location. Reasonable price. Handy for all forms of transport. Studio had everything that one could need. Would definitely use again.

6.0 / 10.0

The right place for a one night stay. Close to the ferry pier and the fish market. The building is old without lift, reception in the pub at ground floor. The room has everything you need in a tiny space. Windows haven't been renewed, very hard to open. Usb plugs by the bed are a smart idea but unfortunately not working. I asked for luggage deposit next morning as I was on a day tour (like 80% of tourists in Oban) but I wasn't allowed due to a private event. Overall a good value for money if you look for an essential stay.

5.0 / 10.0

Friendly, helpful staff. Great location for parking, ferry, food and drink.

5.0 / 10.0

I was pleasantly surprised with how great The Kelvin was. It is a stone's throw from the ferry and train stations. When I checked in, I was told I had the studio, which turned out to be a fully refurbished studio apartment with plenty of space -- easily the largest room I stayed in while in Scotland, yet the lowest rate I paid. Not only was the room big, but it was clean and comfortable. There is also a nice bar with affordable drinks downstairs, although I am not sure about the hours of it. If I am ever in Oban again, I will not hesitate to stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional value for money . We had a studio suite that had clearly been recently done, it was very nicely done and spotlessly clean. I would absolutely stay again.

8.0 / 10.0

Room pleasant, well appointed and clean but breakfast wasn’t available (the info said it would be if booked). Bar downstairs didn’t serve food so l went across the road to the Premier Inn for both dinner and breakfast. Close to the ferry terminal which is what l needed.

8.0 / 10.0

Friendly, clean not fancy but all the necessary

8.0 / 10.0

We chose this hotel for its convenience to transport - buses and ferry. The price also was reasonable. The staff were friendly. Cafes and restaurants were within walking distance.

10.0 / 10.0

Room was clean and very big. Had a small fridge, cutlery, toaster and kettle. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Right across from the ferry port and walking distance to shops and restaurants
