The Kelvin Hotel

Really lovely stay. Owner is a lovely lady and very helpful on area and responsive to requests. Highly recommend. Also very handy for ferries

Our rooms were very comfy. Cina, was so helpful we stayed our three nights and checked out got in our rental cars headed for Edinburg got about 20 miles down the road and had to turn around as the road was flooded and they closed it. We went back to the Kelvin and she got rooms for us and the next day when the road was still closed she had the rooms for us and helped us search and check online for when the road would be open so we could make it to Edinburg for our flight we were a party of eight and are all very greatful for all the help.

Stayed 3 nights in early October 2023. The good news is it's close to the ferry terminal. The bad news is its close to the ferry terminal. The noise was pretty loud until after 10pm. The hotel looked a little tired as some of the rugs were frayed and hallway floors creaked.

The Kelvin was in a convenient location for everything Oban has to offer. The innkeeper and staff were friendly and helpful. We had adorable rooms with kitchenettes, and they were just perfect to come home to after long, wet days exploring Oban and the surrounding isles. There’s even a cozy bar and continental breakfast available. We wanted to avoid hotel chains and have a more authentic experience, and The Kelvin did not disappoint. I would stay again (and really hope to)!

The hotel is ideal if you need to be in Oban for an early ferry or train both are next door across the street. The building itself is very dated but clean and the room was fine for a night or two with a good shower in the bathroom but I wouldn’t use it for longer stays. Strangely some of the corridors smelled of smoke even though it’s been banned indoors for years. Parking is available pay and display around the area we had to try several car parks but did finally get a space on a busy afternoon. The hotel is handy for the waterfront and places to eat.

Pretty average hotel with no much to like. Arrived late and the keys were in the hall for me which it was convenient, also an easy check out. I only slept and left early morning. Don't expect more than that. No breakfast or any other facilities

Clean property, 5 minute walk to main downtown Oban. Right across from the ferry terminal.

The room was great. Everything en suite. Runsam in the pub was very friendly and interesting. Check in and check out was no problem. I left my bag in their storage room until check in and did not have any problems or concerns with doing so.

Great stay at the Kelvin. Very friendly staff. So convenient to the train station and ferry. We had a fun stay.We will stay again, and tell our friends to stay there The MacLean Family
