I booked to stay as I was taking part in the Loch Ness Marathon. The location was perfect, right in the centre and a 10 minute walk to the event village for the marathon and pick up point for the busses to get to the start line. The hotel was very pricy for what it is but I put that down to the huge event being on and expecting it. A lot of reviews I read had said it was in a poor state of repair and unclean which made me apprehensive but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is a little dated but everything is in working order, clean, tidy and comfortable. Only area I felt could benefit a good dust was behind the telly which I only seen as we used our firestick when there and had to plug it in. I requested a river view room and it was perfect, facing the front to the river and castle. The bed was super comfortable with hard and soft pillow options which my partner and I really appreciated! As frequent hotel stayers, we hate when it is only a squishy soft pillow provided as we both prefer the firm options. Can’t comment on breakfast as I was up and out at 6am but all in all, I would recommend and stay again.
The only issue we really had was a little bit of noise. We could hear the upstairs room walking around quite a lot as we settled for an early night and also a bit of noise from the bar/restaurant downstairs that travelled in via our window (which I opened for some fresh air, so may be ok when shut). Could benefit a little upgrading but it wouldn’t put me off staying again.

Great location right on the river in Inverness — easy to walk to restaurants and attractions. Great old-school vibe, and lots of choices for breakfast to help fuel the day.
We had two rooms, and the space and comfort varied wildly between the two. Read the descriptions carefully. We had splurged on the Ness Suite so we had space for us all to be together and were really thankful not just for the large couches but also the big bathroom so our family in the much, much smaller room could take advantage.

We stayed in the Columba on the last night of a nearly 3 week vacation. There is a large, comfortable room on the second (?) floor that we used to finish up cheese, sausage and such before departing, and it was a wonderful, relaxing spot. Our room was comfortable and clean. There are a lot of steps to the various levels in this hotel, and even using the elevator there are some rooms that will require a few steps and some zig zagging around. We are fully capable of that, but some might not be, esp if you are dragging around enormous bags, which we weren’t. Friendly desk personnel, and an altogether pleasant stay!
The steps between some levels could be challenging for some.

Location was excellent, right on the riverfront, 2 minutes walk from the cathedral,close to public transport, shops and dining. Beds were very comfortable, room spacious and warm, heater was very effective but hardly necessary . Breakfast had gluten free cereal but no nondairy milk, plenty of fruit, cooked and continental as well as porridge available. All seating was comfortable and there was an upstairs lounge which overlooked the river Ness
The decor could do with a little enhancement but did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. Most staff were very helpful and friendly which highlighted the couple of reception staff who were rather perfunctory in manner

It was perfect for our overnight stop in inverness, before we travelled on to Skye the hotel is in the centre of inverness well situated and there was a lot in the hotel there was a bar on street front and to the rear there was a restaurant. Due to onward travels we didn't get a chance to use ether but as busy and looked very nice from what we seen.
bed could be better, the room was little dated but for the price point and location this was reflected in the rate very happy with the price vs quality.

The room was a standard double room. The linen and rooms were clean and tidy. The hotel was close to a Tesco, so that was great. It's not a long walk from the train station and restaurants and it's situated right on the River Ness which makes for a nice walk. The breakfast buffet was great and I had what was essentially a full Scottish breakfast.
The hallway floors are a bit creaky and while it can be fixed, it is somewhat expected from an old building.

The hotel has a great location. new hotels going in in the area. The hotel has a pub/restaurant in the location. It is right on the river Ness if you like nice walks along the banks. parking is close by and very reasonable. The location affords itself to the inner city and pedestrian ways with many shops and restaurants. there are many notable churches and the cathedral very close by,
The trek to our room was very long it seemed.. Small halwasy with many doors and turns.

We stayed 4 nights in a very clean and comfortable room overlooking the River Ness. It had a Bay window with 2 arm chairs we could relax in. It is a great place to stay as it is very centrally situated but just across the River from the Town Centre itself and so there was very little noise. In fact it was very quiet and had a lounge on the first floor you could sit in. A short walk from good Restaurants and the Eden Court Theatre and Cinema. Lovely walks along the River Ness and only 10 minutes walk to the Bus and Train Station. The Hotel is a nice old-fashioned Hotel which is reflected in the price, therefore, not as expensive as most other Hotels on the River Ness.
We had stayed on a previous occasion and had a very nice Breakfast in the Hotel Restaurant but as we only normally have a small Breakfast it was not worth paying over £11.00 each day. It was possible to eat in the Hotel but only in the Bar and the Menu was not displayed.
