"This was a nice stay near the center of town on the river. I'd definitely stay there again. There is ample parking (paid) behind the building which is important. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night and the food was bland. Breakfasts were good. We didn't get a chance to do the distillery and brewery tour, maybe next time."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"Location of the hotel is great. It is an old property but all said and done it came on the right side of the charming/ run down divide. Has been updated and does not feel old in most respects. The major drawback for me was very weak WiFi and a bare bones TV. For many, a large tub and good hot and cold water supply in addition to handheld shower and rain shower is going to be a plus.If you need a Laundry, a self serve and full service laundry is literally on the same block so that could be a major plus, as it was for us on a long trip through Highlands"
