I stayed there in January 2012, unbelievably bad. From the outside the building is filthy and 2 of the 3 hotel signs are hanging off the wall with letters missing. Not a good start. Inside the small reception was empty, eventually adour, miserable woman came and without even greeting me, her first word was 'name'. My room was tiny, the... More

We were at the Columba Hotel weekend the 3rd Feb on a Todays Great Deal Voucher and had a great weekend. The Hotel staff were very helful and friendly. Shirley the Receptionist could not do enough for us. The room was clean and comfortable and with a view over the Pier and Front. The food was lovely. What a great... More

My partner and i recently stayed at the Columba Hotel on a voucher deal basis but did upgrade to a junior suite. Well we had a wonderful time from start to finish. We were greeted with friendly staff and were given a lovely suite overlooking the harbour, our room was modern, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Our canapes on the... More

I have not long joined Trip Advisor, hence the review on this hotel being from last September but wanted to add my opinion anyway. My husband and I paid £109.00 for one nights bed & breakfast & ended up in an attic room which left a lot to be desired. Breakfast the next morning was ridiculous to say the least!... More

My partner and I stayed at the Columba Hotel for two nights at the beginning of February 2012. It was terrible as soon as we reached the carpark. We couldn't find a space for the Hotel, so instead had to pay for the parking. We found it a bit of a struggle to even get to the entrance of the... More

We stayed at this hotel using an online deal voucher so arrived with an open mind. However from the word go we were disappointed. We were greeted by a miserable looking receptionist who explained the parking situation - limited spaces for he hotel (approx 8) if u can't get in there then it's 80p an hour for most of the... More

My partner and I stayed at the Columba Hotel for two nights in early December 2011. The weather was terrible - so bad that the ferries could not run. It was magical. The weather only added to the atmosphere that the hotel provided. Our room had a lovely view of the bay and was nicely decorated. It felt modern, smart... More

No staff to serve in restaurant while staying on DBB on business, receptionist could cover if pushed. Sent into a bar to eat which you would not choose to spend time in. Helpful bar maid on first two evenings. Bad experience on third evening. First room was a very poor single room. Second deluxe room modern but scruffy. Public areas... More
