Terrible terrible hotel to stay. Staff is rude not ready to help. There were cockroach inside bathroom and bugs in bedroom. After getting back from all day tour my room was undone and when asking to do the room Staff was so rude and unattended, after calling 7-8 times no one picked up call, I had to personally walk to reception to speak to the staff.

There was a miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel. Our reservation which was already paid for, was not in the hotel’s system but the lovely front desk manager took care of us, even though they were fully booked. Bad on Expedia but Hotel Columba pulled through for us.

Awesome location, right in front of the river Ness, beautiful views of a castle, close to everywhere and yet quiet. We loved our stay there. The from is basic but comfortable and has everything we needed. We walked to the tour bus pickup easily from this hotel, explored Inverness and walked to the train to our next destination. Perfect location!

Convenient for walking to attractions and town centre. Staff helpful and peaceful location by river. Hotel decor tired and in need of some maintenance investment...damaged and flaking paintwork, tiny bathroom with broken shower /bath fitting/ shower gel holder and toilet seat. Maybe trivial but symptomatic of poor attention to maintenance. Breakfast...food choice plentiful and good quality BUT...lukewarm at best and plates cold! Overall not deserving of 3 stars and overpriced (unfortunately like all Inverness hotels in tourist season).

Old-school old, but great staff

The staff were fantastic. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. I heard her patiently instructing another guest how to turn on the heat. The restaurant staff did everything to accommodate my gluten allergy. The hotel itself is in dire need of renovation. The floor boards are covered with thin, worn carpet, but you still can feel where they are uneven and spaced. The hot and cold faucets are old-school separate, and the toilet doesn’t flush well. The hair dryer was perfect for curly hair because it was more heat than aggressive air- I liked that. The bed was firm, which I like, but so were the pillows (2 in a single bed), which I don’t like. I also had no hangers in the closet, but I feel confident that if I had requested them, I would have gotten them.

The location of the property and the staff there were really good. The room we got, however, had no ventilation. It got hot. The staff did help with a portable fan but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. Room was a bit of disappointment but the staff did everything they could to make us feel comfortable.

The hotel is well located in the centre of Inverness. However, it is tired and needs a quite a bit of TLC. It was not value for money given the above.
