Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

4/10 Poor
"I know it's an old hotel but this one is really outdated guests can see ripped carpets in the main hall way, flaked paint and the bathroom in our room had no handwash! The breakfast was really bad and tasteless the beans were like gloop, I'm surprised folk were eating it! When checking out I wasn't asked about my stay, the receptionist just took my keys and gave me a quick bye, which I felt was quite rude and lacked customer service/care. We stayed for 1 night which was ok as we were out most of the time but I wouldn't stay any longer than that, I personally would not stay here again which is a shame."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Lochend cost?
Budget hotel prices in Lochend vary, but you can find a great deal from £40 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Lochend is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers looking for cheap hotels in Lochend, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate city centre, such as the eastern fringes or neighbourhoods with excellent public transport links, will yield the best value. While Lochend itself is a specific locale within Edinburgh, looking at broader areas like Leith or parts of the west can offer more affordable accommodation options.

Leith, to the north-east of Lochend, provides a vibrant setting with a good selection of budget-friendly hotels, guesthouses, and independent B&Bs. It's well-connected to the city centre by frequent bus services, making sightseeing straightforward. Solo travellers will find plenty of independent cafes, quirky shops, and waterfront walks along the Shore, often at a lower cost than in more central areas.

Alternatively, for those prioritising quick access to the city centre and its attractions, consider areas just a short bus ride away from Lochend, such as those around Meadowbank or further west towards Gorgie. These residential areas often feature smaller, independently run hotels and guesthouses that offer competitive rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Lochend?
The most affordable time to visit Lochend, Scotland, is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), as well as the off-peak winter months (November-March), excluding the Christmas and New Year period. During these times, accommodation prices and flight costs tend to be lower than in the bustling summer season.

For solo travellers, visiting in spring or autumn offers pleasant weather for exploring the picturesque surroundings without the peak season crowds, often leading to better deals on guesthouses and local eateries. You'll find that many local attractions, such as the historic Lochend House and the scenic walks around the nearby lochs, are less busy, providing a more tranquil and cost-effective experience.

Winter, while colder, can be particularly budget-friendly for those who don't mind the chill. Many local pubs and cafes offer special deals to attract visitors during this quieter time.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Lochend with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Lochend. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Lochend?
Lochend, while a smaller locale, offers several delightful free activities, particularly appealing to couples and solo travellers looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and local charm of the Scottish landscape.

You can start by exploring the tranquil shores of Loch Leven, which provides stunning scenery for leisurely walks or picnics. The Loch Leven Heritage Trail, a circular path suitable for walking and cycling, offers picturesque views and opportunities for birdwatching, and you might even spot ospreys during certain seasons. For a touch of history, the ruins of Loch Leven Castle, situated on an island in the loch, can be admired from the shoreline, offering a glimpse into Scotland's past without the need for a boat trip.

For those who enjoy a bit of nature, the Vane Farm Nature Reserve, located nearby, is a wonderful spot for observing local wildlife and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It features various walking trails and hides for birdwatching. Additionally, simply wandering through the local villages surrounding Lochend, such as Kinross, allows for a pleasant experience of Scottish rural life, with charming streets and local architecture to admire.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Lochend as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Lochend for you.
