Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"The view of the Inverness Castle from our hotel room was amazing, the look changes with the clouds, the sun, the evening lights... The room was very spacious, a suite. It's a older building so the floor is not very even. The bathroom old tub is cute but not so practical for showers, you're wrap by the curtain and water on the floor."
