“Good location and value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I visit Inverness on business avery 6-8 weeks and this is one of my favourite hotels in town.
It is in a very good location on the banks of the Ness River overlooking the Castle.

The reception staff in particular, are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms have a very nice traditional charm, but are comfortable and well-maintained.

The buffet breakfast offers a very good selection of choice.

Although there is no car park on site, the hotel has some reserved spaces in the nearby public car park which is approximately 4 minutes walk away.

A two minute walk over the bridge takes you directly into the town centre.

I can thoroughly recommend the Columba!!

“Enjoyable but needs refurb”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

A very enjoyable weekend. staff were excellent in all area. Room could have been better. Shower stuck on. Staff came immediately to force tap. Toilet takes 5 mins to fill after a flush. Room very cold. Says heaters are available but you have to request one. I found this embarrassing and was not able to do this. The heaters should be in the rooms without asking.

“Christmas dinner.”

Had a great family Christmas meal at the Columba. Food excellent and great value. Service was great. The kids had a ball and loved meeting Santa. Thats the second year we've had Christmas dinner there and would definately recommend it.

Hotel very cold,heaters locked on number four,every bed saggy,cold breakfast,rooms ok but nothing spectacular,never slept a wink in three days due noise from kitchen fan and hotel bins being emptied at unGodly hours,asked to be moved and it took SIX rooms before i finally managed to find one that was just about bareble. NEVER AGAIN....whoever gave this hotel four stars has a sin to answer for!

Room Tip: Go some where else!

“Fabulous Family Christmas Meal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Thanks to the team at the Columba Hotel, for yet another great meal on Christmas day with the extended family. Food was scrumptious, and great value, service great too. Management excellent! Definately will return for another family event in the near future.

Best wishes,
Julie
