Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

4/10 Poor

"After more than 20 years of booking through Hotels.com, this experience may finally end that relationship. This hotel was advertised and priced as a four-star property, but in reality it felt much closer to a two-star hotel. Before our arrival, we attempted several times to contact the hotel with questions and requests. Unfortunately, neither the hotel nor Hotels.com responded. The property itself is extremely tired and in need of major renovation. Carpets were torn and worn, the shower door hardware was literally falling apart, and the mattress felt decades old. After only a few nights, all three of us were experiencing back discomfort. No soap in the bathroom sink or shower. Towels not changed . Room is so small. Breakfast was equally disappointing. The food quality was so poor that we chose to eat elsewhere the following morning. The eggs were rubbery plastic instant eggs I want to be fair and note that the staff members we encountered were pleasant and courteous. The employees are not the problem. The issue is that the hotel is being marketed and priced at a level that its condition simply does not justify. Hotels.com should either reclassify this property to reflect its actual condition or require significant improvements before continuing to market it as a four-star hotel. This was a genuinely disappointing experience and far below the standard I have come to expect from Hotels.com."

Beaufort Hotel

4/10 Poor

"The staff were very pleasant. Unfortunately, the room was very warm and there was no fan available to help with air flow. The worst part was the noise from the level above our room. Someone was walking or pacing the entire night and the sound was very loud and distracting. I’m not sure if it was another hotel patron or staff, but it was very difficult to sleep. Luckily, we only stayed one night."

Ben Wyvis Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely old manor house that is used by the bus tour companies. The house and carpets need some TLC as they are worn in places and the paint is a bit chipped. Although functional, the bathrooms could be updated. The grounds are lovely and it is very quiet- just birdsong. It’s only 40 minutes to Inverness and the village itself has a number of attractions."

The Royal Highland Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean and staff was helpful in getting a taxi to the airport booked for me. It was more of a transit hotel than I had realized. It is connected to a train station and across the street from the busses. I also wish the door had an additional latch or deadbolt, as a female solo traveler I was uncomfortable not having that."
