Columba Hotel by Compass Hospitality, Inverness

Stayed 14th November 2025

We arrived on the Friday as planned when we got to reception we were met by a gentleman who seemed under pressure because some of the staff had not turned up for work. We went ro our room it was small and cozy but really could be done with some tender care. We went down for our evening meal in which we thought was pretty good but the guy at reception was order taker bar man and waiter which in a busy bar is bot very good. Im sure everyone there felt sorry for him and his work load. We had breakfast the following 2 mornings and no complaints and there were more staff in the mornings but this guy was still there. Only fault the rooms need updated

The room was 1st class, roomy, good shower and good view of the river below. Be early if you want a hot breakfast, the cooked food is on warm at best is you leave it till the last minute. Service was mostly goog but some of the bar staff were unattentive

First time here in twenty years. Room could do with a makeover. Not told restaurant closed when we arrived and after standing around at restaurant I went to reception to be told dining was in MacNabs. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Staf friendly

We enjoyed our stay at the Columba as we had stayed here before. It is so central and close to the town centre. Staff were really nice and friendly despite being very busy. Food was good however breakfast was a little disappointing - felt there could have been more choice - fresh fruit salad and wider range of yogurts. Room was clean and acceptable however no bath - only a shower. Overall good value for money

Stayed 29th May 2021

The rooms were very good, the food was excellent, the only fault we had was trying to get a drink, at one point we had to go looking for the staff to get served

Stayed 29th May 2021

The hotel needs a bit of a spruce up on the exterior weeds growing out entrance. Food was good but service left a lot to be desired. This was the same in the bar with the exception of a girl from Stirling who was very helpful. Took 20 minutes to place the order and another to be served. Rooms are a bit dated but comfortable enough.

Stayed 28th May 2021

We had a lovely weekend. Our room was clean and comfy but looked onto a brick wall. They would have moved us but were full for the first time since reopening.The staff were friendly and helpful although they were quite short staffed as they were still recruiting after lockdown. Dinners were fine and full breakfast was really nice. The service was pretty fast and Covid restrictions were in place. Great value for money

Stayed 25th May 2021

Had a lovely 2night break at Columba Hotel Inverness. Booked through myhotelbreak.com 2nights B&B, dinner on first night & a bottle of fizz in the room. All for £129! Fantastic value for money ?Room was lovely & clean, ceiling light not working in the first room so we’re moved to another room which was as lovely as first room with a bigger bed so bonus ? We would definitely stay again.

Very well organized no problems whatsoever. We had a very pleasant stay except the weather which was out of your control.

Stayed 21st May 2021

Having been to the hotel a couple of years ago we were a bit disappointed with the room we had a very small double looking out to a flat roof which housed pigeons and seagulls, the room itself needed a lot of tlc broken floor tile and light above mirror in bathroom furniture chipped in various places quilt cover threadbare in a couple of places. The food was good and COVID restrictions adhered to. Would maybe go back if the hotel had an upgrade.
