I had stayed here before, with a room overlooking the river and Inverness Castle, and it was lovely. I just didn't understand the negative reviews I had read; then I stayed here again. Perhaps one should just never go back ... Anyway, things started poorly. The young woman on reception was very friendly, very polite, but nonetheless telling us that... More

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. The 1st time being a few years ago. The rooms are nice and roomy. The interior is old but not dated. The staff were very friendly, although at breakfast there seemed to be just one waitress who was rushed off her feet. Great setting next to the river and... More

This was my 2nd stay at the Columba for work purposes. Its a nice hotel that does a good breakfast, has helpful & friendly staff and is in a really central location. But, it is looking a bit tired now and could do with a fresh lick of paint. My room was clean & spacious with a comfortable bed but,... More

Whilst the hotel is presentable and the staff at reception were very helpful when we arrived I had very mixed thoughts. The hotel is tired, our door handle was broken as was the frame on window. Shower was dreadful!! However we had a good night sleep - but was let down next day. My husband advised reception someone had walked... More

For a 4star hotel this is a very tired and not worth visiting.It is full of tour groups on the 2nights we stayed and we didn't rate.Breakfast was cold and the worst we have had in 4 weeks of travelling.We were very disappointed in our choice.Stay in May 1213.

We booked this hotel for 1 night stay prior to a boating holiday on the Caledonia Canal. After booking it I saw some reviews which really slated it, so I was worried. I need not have been. The room was HUGE, beautifully furnished & decorated and the view over the River Ness and Inverness Castle was spectacular. The staff were... More

I liked Columba Hotel “A Bespoke Hotel” in Inverness. It lays at the Ness Walk near River Ness in the Centre of Inverness within walking distance to Inverness Museum and Bus Station. From the hotel you have a nice view of Inverness Castle on the other side of Ness River. The hotel has an old fashion atmosphere. The bathroom has... More

We stayed for one night this weekend, thankfully it was only one night! There is a 4 star AA sign over the front door but I cannot believe that this is warranted, in fact I have emailed AA asking when this was awarded and how recently it was reviewed. The room was adequate but no way 4 star standard. The... More

My wife and I stayed one night in the middle of May. We found the staff both friendly and helpful. Despite the grumbles elsewhere on this site, we had no complaints about the decor or its condition. Our beds were rather hard but nevertheless a good three-star hotel. Our dinner in the restaurant was good with hot, well-prepared food. Breakfast... More
