As expected for a budget stay. We were able to leave our bags in an area prior to check in. The room and hotel were quiet. If you cannot mange stairs well this might not be the place for you. Asked the front desk for more body wash and it was never replaced. Cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed.
After traveling for nearly 24 hours, coming to the Columba was the perfect place to lay our head. You can't beat the location. An easy walk to Fig and Thistle, The Leakey Bookshop,historical cemetery, and The Victorian Market. If you get a chance there's a spot in there that has chana masala. Chef's kiss! The river walk was beautiful.
The property is very old therefore it's very smelly!I requested to be in the lower level(for health reasons)but the hotel put me and my husband in the worst room!!! Was it because we were foreigners? Very frustrated and very disappointed
Our room with beautiful big windows overlooked the River Ness. We wanted a king size bed and we paid appropriately but the room was truly lovely. Good breakfast in the morning and a great location for walking.
While the hotel was in a great location (quiet, next to the River Ness, restaurants/cafes/grocery stores nearby), the room was worn and had mold growing on the bathroom walls and the shower curtain.
They could improve by hotter bacon for breakfast. 3 days of cold bacon. On the first day Saturday 5th April. All the hot for was luke warm. If that. But would go back.
Good all round, clean, characterful, great views on the river, minor renovations going on but not affecting anything.

I liked the hotel location. Staff were friendly. Very dusty public areas. The breakfast was definately not as shown on website, limited fruit items available and lots of greasy items. We chose not to have breakfast in hotel because of this even though we had paid for it.
