Lovely location, beautiful architecture and building and views outside the hotel. It’s a memorable place for me as it’s where I was proposed to.
Only let down is the lack of / poor internet connection.

The Columba Hotel was an amazing place to stay in Inverness. The location along the river is beautiful, and within walking distance of anything you'd need. The staff were especially friendly, and the breakfast options were amazing. Our room was very clean and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!

Dated, budget option hotel. Clean but worn carpet, furniture and bathroom facilities. Good option for how expensive Inverness is. I would rate it a 2 star type hotel.

Nice hotel in a very convenient location in Inverness. The staff were friendly and helpful. The building itself is showing its age, but it was generally very clean (no complaints). The view from our room was spectacular. Waking up to seeing a castle outside your window is pretty awesome. I would definitely consider staying here again in the future
