Slate Islands hotel rooms a the Independent

"After I had a slight mishap with my booking the staff went the extra mile to accommodate us. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast had so much choice."

"Excellent value for money, great staff, central location. Would definitely stay again. "

"Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful . Breakfast bag was a nice touch ."

"This is a great piece of history in this part of Scotland and so close to everything. "

"Great atmosphere , very relaxing Scottish feel. Pleasant staff. Cosy lounge and fabulous bedrooms. Good breakfast with lots of choices. Highly recommended and we will certainly be coming back as soon as we can "

"Everything was great. We were down as 2 adults but 1 was a child ...but on booking I was unable to book adult and child. My only complaint was that the television didn't work! As you can imagine with a 9-year-old we were back in hotel fairly early eve. Other than that a perfect place to stay."

"The food was excellent particularly for a Seafood fanatic. The only thing the chef should consider is adding a seafood soup. Everything else is 5 star."

"Charming guesthouse facing the esplanade. Convenient to all amenities within a short walk. Communal kitchen was awesome. Fully stocked. Rooms were a good size. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Parking next to the building was £9 for the day or £1 per hour. "

"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!"
