Spent a night at the Kelvin recently due to work bringing me in town. Centrally located in the CBD handy to restaurants, bars and a short walk to the SIT campus and Supermarkets etc. The hotel itself comes across as dated and is in need of refurbishment in some areas. The room itself was OK. Older style, worn in places with tired decor and the bathroom was crying out for a revamp. However it was clean and tidy enough, with the minimun basics required for a comfortable enough stay. My biggest issue with the Kelvin was the lack of sleep I ended up getting. It appears the internal hotel room walls are made of tissue paper, meaning noise was a huge issue. One could hear EVERYTHING happening in neighbouring rooms. So amoungst slamming doors and after several hours of listening to the chap next door continuously wheeling & dealing on his cellphone, there was relief when he finally called it quits for the night. Unfortunately this was short lived as I was then serenaded with his loud snoring for the remainder of my stay. Complemented by the women on the other side watching TV into the wee small hours, before having an argument with her partner. To add a bit more excitement to my Thursday night in Invers, there was also a drunken punch up on the street outside once the bars had closed, that the police ended up having to come and attend to. In the end, i gave up on the concept of trying to get any sleep whatsoever, checked out early and went to work to get some peace and quiet in the Office before my colleagues arrived. The Receptionist standing at the front desk didn't bother acknowledging me when I returned the room key, although maybe it was for the best as to be fair I was pretty tired and cranky by then. Didn't utilize the food and beverage options, gaming room or bottle shop etc that's offered on-site so can't comment there. Would I stay again? Probably not... Fine for just one night at a push, but have stayed at other similarly priced hotels in Invercargill that were far nicer ambience wise and a lot quieter.
