The hotel looks great from outside(as pictures show), but actually inside the building was old and tired. Our room had very old carpet and everything was old. The walls were thin and we heard people talking from the next room. It seemed that the management had decided to invest in making them look good rather than giving comfort to their guests. We were disappointed. Their sports bar's food was great.

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.
