"Chambre authentique"

7.0

Le lieu, la taille de la chambre, la propreté , nous étions dans la chambre paddock qui était sympathique avec une jolie vue

Le matelas bien que très accueillant et moelleux de prime abord nous a fait mal au dos au matin. La douche/eau chaude est très dure à régler, mais il me semble qu'ils travaillent dessus

Good location, comfy bed and the room has all the facilities you could need. Breakfast room too with all the basics with a nice area to eat breakfast in

The bathroom did have a smell and not the cleanest room with stains on furniture and dirt but for the price it does the job and is pretty comfy otherwise

"Can't trust Columba House any more"

3.0

Usually a great place to stay but not this time.. my usual room was cancelled just minutes before the start of my stay due to a problem with the door lock (apparently the 'manager' said it happened earlier that day which a workman later told me was a lie, it had happened days before I'd booked) Had to use a different room for the duration, booked a double bed but got 2 singles, plus the room was literally half the size of the one I'd booked and PAID for. Hotel also being refurbished and undergoing noisy renovations, also lack of hot water at times, no internal room lights for a few hours (tripped switch?) No Grab & Go breakfasts either. NONE OF THIS WAS IN THE ADVERT! I was offered a refund but at 9pm at night and after making a fuss, this was after waiting over 4hrs for a reply. I had to ask what was going on several times, with no real answers. I understand this work needs to be done BUT BE HONEST ABOUT IT BEFORE PEOPLE BOOK! Columba house may have permanently lost a regular customer!

The fact I was lied to before booking.

"Glad to leave."

5.0

Only plus was room was very warm.

No one at reception to checkin with as we hadn't received the checkin key information. Two attempts at ringing to request this. Room had an overpowering smell of bleach. Shower was either scalding or ice cold...pretty useless. Sheets and duvet weren't long enough on the bed! Definitely wouldn't stay again.
