Good hotel but heating needs overhauling.
The hotel is obviously old and in desperate need for renovation. When I checked into my room it was clean, bed comfortable but the heater had a life of its own. I called reception and a girl came up to the room and managed to get it working. She was lovely and it wasn't a problem which made all the difference. However when I got back to the room the heater had gone off again and I couldn't get it to work again but I was tired so went to bed.

Wont be back.
Wont be back again. Disappointing room, which was joined with another, hearing every word of anotger couple. The toilet makes a hrrendous noise each time its flushed aswell as making an awful sound while in the shower and they know this, couldnt care less. Found it to be dated and just really poor.

Good but few issues
First room didn’t have hot water but we were moved to another room. On the second day the keycard didn’t work so we couldn’t gain access to the room. Reception staff nowhere to be found, had to get bar man to call her. I’ve stayed here multiple times and previous visits have been fine

Columba Hotel
No-one mentioned that the whole of the front of the hotel was covered in scaffolding that spoilt the view of the Ness and the castle.
We had breakfast one morning. Cold plates and cold Scottish breakfast.

No parking. It was just an old building! We wandered and found the lift, but still had stairs to go down before finding our room. The view from our room had a wall. Everything creaked. We heard everyone, walking about! Too expensive. It’s , not for us, again!

On arrival less than helpful staff regarding luggage drop off especially as a member of our party disabled!
En-suites were terrible condition including basin that wouldn’t drain, paintwork very poor
Beds were comfortable, bar staff friendly
