Prima verblijf in hartje Invercargill
Pros:

De locatie van het Kelvin Hotel is uitstekend, midden in het centrum van Invercargill. Gratis parkeren is inbegrepen, dus dat is een bonus. Personeel was heel aardig en behulpzaam, de kamer was prima en netjes schoon (een beetje klein maar dat kan mijn eigen schuld geweest zijn).

Cons:

Het ontbijt leek niet heel bijzonder, waarschijnlijk wel prima maar heb besloten er geen gebruik van te maken. De kamer was een beetje aan de krappe kant, maar het kan zijn dat ikzelf de kleinste kamer heb geboekt.

Pros:

Close to all stores and attractions. Breakfast buffet was okay. To get a good coffee you needed to pay extra. Great place to stay if going to Stewart Island since they stow your excess baggage for free

Cons:

Fact you paid extra for good coffee

Absolutely would stay again.
Pros:

Fabulous location and good price. Great view from the level five room. The hotel is being renovated and some stuff still to do, but what has been done is looking great. All amenities required/expected in our room and great shower and comfortable beds. Fabulous cooked breakfast.
