Sadly we were terrible disappointed with our accommendations. No heat, drafty, bed uncomfortabe. Badly in need of renovation. Draperies only hung on rods here and there, hanging down in other places. They did bring up a small heater to use to try and warm the room. The only bright point was the meal. Had an excellent dinner.

The hotel is well located with lovely views on to the fast flowing river Ness. It is no more than 5 mins on foot to the centre of town, shops and the Art Gallery & Museum. The staff are friendly and helpful and my room was clean, comfortable and roomy. Food in the hotel and MacNabb's Bistro was variable -... More

Front desk and wait staff were friendly and accommodating - Dinner was nice for an in-hotel offerring - Free WiFi available throughout - Decent sized room - Central location - Recently renovated washroom in our...

Terrible!!! Would never stay in this hotel again! Don't be fooled by the rooms with a view of the river. Rooms are old and cold. I think a boarding house dorm room would have been better to stay in. the whole hotel was a rabbit maze. If you took a wrong turn you could be lost in the hotel for... More

If you like threadbare carpets, uneatable school dinners, Polish staff with limited command of English , the receptionist would have been better understood if she had removed chewing gum first THIS IS THE HOTEL FOR YOU If not choose somewhere else

I had a 1 night stay at the Columba on a 7 day Scotland tour. Although the Hotel is very old and often maze-like, I found it to be charming and comfortable. The food at dinner was wonderful, accompanied with perfectly baked crusty rolls, and the wait staff was courteous and accommodating. The pub had a wonderful Scottish band, and... More

Having read reviews of the Columba we had a good idea of what to expect and we were impressed with it overall. Our room at the back of the hotel was very comfortable, clean and cosy with a lovely bath. The water pressure was not great but that was not a problem as we filled the bath a bit earlier... More

We are very sad to have just left Inverness after a two night stay at Columba, we just didn't want to leave! Our room had the most stunning view over the river. Room was fine however bathroom would appreciate a little maintenance and refurb. Food in the restaurant lovely but as a vegetarian it would have been nice to have... More

The Columba hotel is in a good location right on the river-although everything is really close all over so there aren't really any "bad" locations "downtown". Our room was small and had a king bed (for 2 girls). The bathroom was dimly lit and the toilet didn't flush all the time. The breakfast was acceptable for something in your stomach... More
