great stay - would definately book again
Pros:

Large room with large desk and stool + coffee table and two comfy chairs - toilet seperate from shower room. Very helpful staff allowing me to check in early (very early) at no cost. Location smack in the middle of the CDB - excellent

Cons:

The room was a tad chill in the late evening and the hotel heating system was either turned off ( it was supposed to be high summer) or the system wasn't wprking. Staff advised there should be a fan heater in the room but I couldn't find it - it wasn't enough of an issue for me to follow up but I'm sure someone would have found me something if asked

We love staying at Kelvin Hotel, although it is looking tired. Great location! Awesome place to stay on a budget
Pros:

Location is perfect. Right in the middle of town.

Cons:

The Premium King room had satellite TV channels, but the downgraded room we also stayed in had a smaller bed but it had an upgraded Smart TV? The toilet room always had a bad smell. No utensils in the room.

It’s a city centre hotel and convenient for travellers who wish to stay in the city.
Pros:

Nothing stunning to comment on. It’s a city centre hotel and convenient for travellers who wish to stay in the city.
Shopping mall near by if you need an average city shopping mall.

Cons:

Average room, bar, dinner, breakfast. Just unexciting and functional.
