Reviews for Kelvin Hotel
Review 1:Very very helpful staff. Went above and beyond. Made to feel very welcome and at home One of the most comfortable beds I've slept in this trip Location is excellent for shopping and restaurants Good secure parking just across the road, easy access Magic view of the city centre from the 6th floor balcony
Review 2:the noise drove us insaine from people slaming doors to the drunks driving round making a wicked racket double glazing would prob help
Review 3:the staff were wonderfull i asked for a xmas tree to be put in our room n it was great very respectfull staff big ups for that.
Review 4:No on site parking although parking in a multi- storie car park 100 yards away was free for hotel guests.
Review 5:Good sized room, close to restaurants & shops
Review 6:From arrival to departure the staff were the best the female member in the games bar was very helpful prior to the wedding reception, which was held upstairs. The meal was of a high standard.
Review 7:my room was too hot, I complained but , although attended, was still far too warm.
Review 8:the size of the room and the fittings were good, location, of course, was fantastic.
Review 9:Receptionist wasn't helpful at all could have showed us the room ect shower was dirty and toilet roll holder wasn't the cleanest bit disappointed
Review 10:Where do I start? Paid 220 per night for the best room they have which I was not given. Upon complaining I was told management would sort it the next day which didn't happen. Was treated like a criminal, disrespected and highly offended at the way the manager tried to deal with it. I would not recommend this hotel, stay at the ascot instead they are always fantastic and friendly!
Review 11:Location. That's is all.
Review 12:Nothing to say cause everything is perfect.
Review 13:Cleanliness,staff are friendly and helpful, comfortability in the room itself and easy accessibility to facilities.
Review 14:Nothing to not like.
Review 15:We have stayed before and love the locality of the Hotel. Top comfort and friendly, helpful staff. Meals brilliant! Handy car park. The whole experience first class!!
Review 16:No ice machine that I could find. Some information provided was incorrect.
Review 17:When the reception saw there were two guys she searched for another room that had two double beds. Very obliging.
Review 18:Real small room not value for money.
Review 19:Humour at pre dinner drinks and great dinner. Celebrated 54 years of marriage and made to feel very special. Fire evacuation handled very professionally.
Review 20:Umm, perhaps a wee bit dim in the dining room, I mean to either read and do work, if dining and travelling alone..... Perhaps keep a mobile lamp for such solo diners??
Review 21:I just liked the whole package. Friendly welcoming staff at reception (I mean friendly and informative but not "too gushy", which is also important), comfortable room, great meal at night. To the point I'm delighted to pass on my positive sentiments now, as had meant to write them in a letter but never got round to it.
Review 22:We stay here quite frequently but were very disappointed with our room this time. A double bed with no alternative and only one chair -not very comfortable. Room 502.
Review 23:Hotel facilities and food good.
Review 24:Everything was great although the pillows were quite hard and really large
Review 25:The desk staff and the night porter were fabulous, so friendly & helpful. They had our daughters crib all set up for us when we arrived . the beds are very compfy I had a wonderful sleep and the food is to die for !

Review 28:we found the staff very good and the rooms clean and tidy had a wedding reception there and nothing was a bother
Review 29:A wedding in the function room upstairs went on till 12 30 am. The thumping on the ceiling as they danced was unbearable. Staff remained unconcerned.
Review 30:Nothing to dislike.
Review 31:Courtesy of lady in bar. Advised me on NZ beers! Shouted me a glass of red when my dinner was (slightly) delayed 'cos of big party upstairs.
Review 32:Having travelled extensively both in New Zealand and overseas, I would say that the outstanding welcome that I received on arrival would be as good as anywhere I have ever stayed - it made me want to come back. The room was well appointed, the bed great and the room service top-class. I would happily stay at the Kelvin when I am in Invercargill again.
