The Kelvin has a lovely feel to it — friendly, warm and welcoming. It’s in a good location for Oban town centre and the

Pros: Staff, cleanliness, position. And the bar area was lovely — old-style, friendly and comfy 😁

Comfortable and clean.

Pros: Really comfortable hotel not far from Oban town centre. Our room was on the top floor and was big and clean. There was a small kitchen corner and the bathroom was small but well equipped. The bed and the pillows were really comfortable. There is parking on the street - you have to pay for it but it's free during the night.

Cons: Nothing.
