Top Lochgilphead Hotel Reviews

The Kelvin Hotel

The Kelvin Hotel

8/10 Good
"After realizing I had booked a "1 star" hotel, we were a little hesitant with our lodging choice but were pleasantly surprise upon arrival. The room at the Kelvin was the largest we had on our 3 week trip to UK with plenty of room for luggage. There was a small desk/table and chairs and was clean and well kept. There is a bar onsite which we did not visit. The hotel is conveniently located very near to the bus/train station and town. We only stayed one night and had no real interactions with staff. Would not hesitate to recommend for someone looking at lower cost lodging."

Oyster Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean. The windows opened to allow fresh air. The hotel car park is somewhat small. The hotel is situated on 2 fairly busy roads, so traffic sounds were audible. The walls were quite thin, so a phone conversation in the next room was also audible. It was fine for a one night stay on the way to our next stop."

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed there 1 night, Sept 30. The hotel is 250 years old. But is updated and lovely! Super charming, clean and comfy. Our room has 2 twin beds. It was a bit small but we didn’t plan to stay in it long. There were cookies and tea in the rooms Loved the nightlight in the bathroom! Very helpful. Only challenges are the parking, It’s at a premium, and all rooms are up stairs so if you have mobility challenges. This hotel is not for you"

"We had room 109 and it looked out over the water and the lively street but was very quiet. The shower was amazing as were the products. The coffee and tea and snacks were delicious. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and dark! We didn’t get to explore the hotel at all since we were just there overnight but we would gladly stay there again if we are lucky enuf to return to Oban. What a great little town and a great hotel experience!"
