We stayed in this hotel on a Christmas break. Location is great as it is a 2 minute walk into town. This was our first stay in this hotel as we stayed in the Ramada Jarvis last time (see Ramada comments).

The hotel room was smallish but adequate and we requested a room high up as they have two bars on the ground floor.
Noise was not a problem. Staff were friendly and we were able to leave our suitcases there after check out.

Breakfast wasn't the greatest but the hotel was £60 pn, which is cheap for Inverness centre!

Overall good value for money, if you want luxury it is not for you, but if you want a low cost hotel that is clean and in a good location this should be adquate.

the hotel in itself was very good but the kitchen staff should learn to comunicate with the serving staff we waited 15 mins for 2nd course which we had to send back as it was cold the plates did not help as they were really cold the girls did there best but really understaffed manager very very good entertainment was rubbish for CHRISTMAS the food looked delicious but tasted awful we will stick to our cruises in future SORRY !!

Just back from a 2 day break at Columba, Room 302. Room huge, ensuite big too, definitely refurbished this hotel, more modern taste now. This room over looked the castle & river ness, couldn't have asked for a better view. Staff friendly. Restaurnat good, couldn't fault breakfast - so many choices. McNabs bar, well for all opart of hotel food not so good a standard, staff not really helpful except for one lass, entertainemnet in bar quite good. Ate at Cafe 1, which is a bistro restaurant, superb meal & good service reasonable prioced. The Room bar with live music (rock) good, then across the road to Hotenannys - amazing to see all young artistes get up & play. Shopping fair too. Lucky with the weather for all November.

Just came back from a very enjoyable stay at the Columba, which is on the banks of the River Ness right in the centre of the city.
Booked 3 nights dinner, bed & breakfast through Easy Breaks for my husband & myself for £163 for the entire break! As it was so cheap I wondered what would be wrong. Nothing was wrong, the hotel was refurbished a couple of yrs ago & is very tastefully done. The rooms were great, the restuarant/dining area is lovely, the food was very good (for a 3 star hotel) & the staff very helpful. There is also a lovely bar in the hotel called McNabs where they have live music at weekends.

I can't think of a single bad thing to say about the hotel.
