The bed was super comfy and big, staff were lovely and the whole hotel was really clean. I would've rated it higher had there been air conditioning in our room, a better breakfast menu (2 items on menu) that wasn't so expensive and if the shower had better water pressure. But overall it was a pleasant stay

Lovely four nights at the Kelvin, room perfectly adequate for me and good to find accommodation which is not hugely expensive. The only complaint I would note is that people seem to think it ok to slam doors! Otherwise all good and I would stay there again.

Enjoyed the convenient central location of the hotel, and our room was very well-appointed with everything we needed. The only downside was the lack of aircon/airflow on a hot night (open windows let in the street noise), and there also seemed to be some piping within the wall that meant we heard loud flushing water during the night which woke us a few times.

Handy location to shops and cafes and ten minute walk to Queens Park. Friendly, helpful staff, easy check-in . Roadworks nearby makes for dusty , noisy experience and difficult vehicle access at the moment.

Good hotel in central Invercargill. Excellent service and a good restaurant and bar. Spacious and comfortable room. Though it can be a bit warm on summer nights with no aircon in the room.

Great place to stay. Super local. Good bar. Slight issue with TV which was fixed as best it could be by friendly staff. We were located on level 6 which was quite hot but fans were provided which did the trick.

I like an easy life and don't do a lot of travelling - Kelvin Hotel and staff made our trip south hassle free very much appreciated. Note - would have loved a paper map that showed places of interest - didn't find one anywhere in Invercargill - Mr Google didn't have a big enough screen hahaha Thank you Kelvin Hotel and staff
