The worst service don’t think they know the meaning of customer service. Terrible hospitality wouldn’t ever stay again so many better places with kind hosts. Really unprofessional

There are two beds, one large and one small, with complete facilities and a large bathroom. Why is the sink so small in such a large space? There is a large parking lot next to it, and there is no charge on Saturdays.

We absolutely loved both our studio apartment at the Kelvin Hotel (very clean, spacious, bright and cozy - it instantly felt like being home) and the welcoming and very kind staff. As frequent travellers we visit various hotels, but this one is exceptional. The location is very convenient: close to the city centre, the ferry terminal or the train and bus station.

I was warmly welcomed by Sheena and members of the band, The Vatersay Boys, when I arrived and encouraged to sing and play my guitar. I arrived here with my guitar on my back and it was so fabulous to be able to share music and jam together in this hotel with such lovely, warm people. Jodie who worked in the pub was so fabulous as well. I felt at home and very cared for and the location was excellent. I slept well and was comfortable in my room. This place had personality and I would definitely come back. I felt like I made life-long friends in a an evening there. I'd much rather stay somewhere like that than a chain hotel with a franchise experience. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Kelvin hotel. The room was clean top to bottom, spacious enough and the beds were super comfy. Has a cool little bar in the hotel with board games available to play. The owner and her team are super friendly. Great location in a very short walk from the main street in the town.

I have been to the Kelvin a few times in my travels to Scotland. Oban is a beautiful place and we love to visit it. Unfortunately this time around the visit was horrible. Although the place has been done up and looks good. The night was ruined by the bar tender working. I think her name was Jody, she was rude and obnoxious. We stood and waited for a while to be served but she had no interest in talking to us as her buddies were in. The way she spoke to her friends in front of people was disgusting. We don’t want to know your bedroom activities. Will not be returning.

The best place to stay in Oban. Sheena and her staff go overboard to make you feel welcomed. I’m actually sad leaving the Kelvin because I feel like I’m walking away from family. Great wee lounge and bar, plus you are a stone throw from the train station and ferry dock. It’s absolutely the perfect location. While they do not have a lift the staff was amazing helping people take their bags up to their rooms.

It was a good size, clean and comfortable double room, with similar en suite facilities. Loved the fridge and the bar for some great socialising local after a tour of the town. Sheena and her team extended a warm welcome. So handy for the Main Street and all the transport.
