Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable . We’ve been to other hotels where the pillows were ultra thin. Sounds silly , but the thin pillows affected my sleeping. One thing I loved was how peaceful the rooms were, you couldn’t hear other guests. We also had a great view of the river."

"Wonderful location, right in the heart of town and yet the room was so quiet. We faced the street side, but could not hear any traffic or noise of any kind. Our room was spacious, clean, and well stocked with complimentary water and wine in the fridge. Staff were absolutely wonderful! We did not end up having the breakfast, but our friend did, and she raved about it – especially the fresh fruit."
