Summary: 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

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
