The Columba is conveniently located near shopping, dining, and the main transportation hub of Inverness Station. The exterior and views from the rooms are incredible—river views are worth spending a bit more. The property is well maintained and charming as can be. Our staff member who checked us in was friendly enough, if a bit curt. The rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful the whole stay. They were happy to hold our bags after we checked out until and evening train, but beware that there is no secure bag room and amenities are a bit bare bones in this beautiful victorian hotel. That said, it’s worth noting the bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable and our 2nd floor river view room was large and charming.
