Summary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryNestled in a central, quiet spot by the harbour, the Columba Hotel is a Victorian-style establishment that offers a classic old-English charm. The spacious rooms reflect an opulent Highland heritage, evoking the grandeur of a bygone era. Despite its grand past, the hotel maintains all the expected amenities typical of a three-star property and is known for being comfortable and offering good value for money.
However, the hotel's age is evident. Guests frequently mention dated furnishings, old carpeting and a general sense of being tired and in need of an update. The atmosphere, while nostalgically old-fashioned to some, appears shabby and damp to others. The decor and furniture could certainly benefit from a refresh and the mattresses are reportedly due for an update. Noise can also be an issue, as the old windows don't effectively keep out sound.
Despite these drawbacks, the Columba Hotel is appreciated for its reasonable prices and the comfort of its clean beds. While it’s clear the hotel could use some refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards, its central location and historical ambiance continue to appeal to a subset of travelers.
