Hotel berhampiran 5.Southland Time, Invercargill

I stayed here for a total of three nights while transiting between the Hump Ridge Track and Stewart Island in late December 2022. I booked the King Suite, a spacious studio apartment of penthouse proportions with sweeping views out across Invercargill and towards the Southland plains in one direction and Bluff in another. With the exception of the luxurious bathroom, the room was somewhat dated, and the circa 1980s shagpile carpet definitely needs replacing. However, it was still quite relaxing and comfortable. The highlight of staying here were the excellent staff and their exemplary level of support and service. I was abruptly woken in the early hours of the morning on my first night due to extremely loud guests in a neighbouring room who appeared to be in the hotel to drink and play in the gaming lounge. When I mentioned this to the staff at reception the next morning they promptly offered to move me to another room, which I accepted. Admittedly the second room was much more tired and worn than the King Suite, but the bed was comfortable, the sheets 5-star and I slept very well on the second night. Not only did they move me but they gave me, completely un-requested on my part, a partial refund to reflect the lower price difference of moving into the second room (the suite I initially stayed in is the most expensive room in the hotel). I greatly appreciated the management and reception's thoughtful responses to my need for a good night's sleep before starting out on the Hump Ridge Track. When I returned about 5 days later, I stayed in the King Suite, that I first been booked into, again. The noisy guests in neighbouring rooms had checked out, and the room was quiet and relaxing, just what I needed after completing the Hump Ridge Track. It is true that this hotel could do with a general refurbishment and renovation, but it represents good value for money with excellent staff, among the best I have met anywhere the world, and probably the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met in a New Zealand hotel. I also stayed, after returning from Stewart Island in early January, at the band new Langlands Hotel which, like the Kelvin Hotel, is also owned by the Invercargill Licensing Trust (ITL). While I thoroughly enjoyed the luxury at the Langlands I equally enjoyed the Kelvin and would happily stay here again.

我們在這裏住了一個晚上，它真的很不錯。床特別的舒適，服務也很出色。免費的wifi很好。這裏靠近市中心，穿過馬路就是countdown超市。如果你來invercargil的時候，我強烈建議你住在這裏。

Me and my family felt at home 3 bedroom accomadation all amenities incl. Big size Tv, Washing Machine etc...was modern, Top of the line Appliances, New feel and loved the Shower.

很不錯的酒店餐廳 感受很好，5分 價格也比較實惠 就是旁邊沒什麼吃的 但是很安靜 環境很高，下次有機會再入住吧！

Ein kleines Apartment mit Privatsphäre mit Parkplatz vor der Tür. Nicht mehr das allerneuste aber sehr gut ausgestattet, vor allem die Küche. Es gab verschiedene Kochutensilien und Kaffee, Tee und Heiße Schokolade. Es ist sehr großzügig gestaltet und man kann sich bequem an einen Tisch setzen oder auch arbeiten, weil das WIfi zuverlässig und stabil ist Man kann Wäsche waschen und trocknen. Das Motel liegt direkt an der Hauptstraße und deshalb ist es doch etwas lauter wenn viel Verkehr ist. Zudem ist es etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind jedoch fußläufig zu erreichen.

Beautiful house, nice room, charming room and lounge, expetacular view to the sea, kind staff. Wonderful breakfast and somehow vintage. Very close to some tracks to see the the island and other views of the sea
