The Kelvin Hotel was wonderful place to stay in Oban. The kitchenette was a bonus and the hotel was close to everything and the staff were gracious and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Room was nice and efficient. Having a small kitchen was a plus. Location is next door to the ferry terminal for those visiting the islands, and paid parking was very convenient. The only negative was the shower, which seemed to have only two settings: ice cold and scalding! But we made do ....

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
