We had the chance to stay on the island and at the St. Columba for three weeks. It is amazing how constantly friendly and helpful the staff are. Foodwise there was a hearty delicious breakfast including porridge and for lunch and supper a wide choice in meals from vegan to fresh fish and meat. The St. Columba is very clean and tidy, has a lovely lounge that overlooks the sound of Iona and has a lovely garden to sit an have coffee or a soup, e.g. from the larder across the streat. All in all: highly recommended!

I just loved this hotel. Very friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere. There's a great lounge area with floor to ceiling windows and views out to sea. You could just sit there and read a book, and staff would bring you a cafetiere of coffee. They'll transport your bags from the ferry to the hotel and back, too. On location, it's maybe a ten minute walk from the ferry and a three minute walk to the abbey. The food in the restaurant is great, and you can also get sandwiches or soup from their Larder store opposite and eat it in the lounge area. I'd definitely go back.

My daughter and I shared a homely en suite twin room with a beautiful sea view across Iona sound towards Mull and obliquely of the South side of Iona Abbey. The central location close to the Abbey enabled us to reach village shops and amenities, ferry, Northern beaches and the high hill of Dun I. Longer walks lead to the Machair dunes and golf links, loch, St Columba's bay and marble quarry. We enjoyed breakfast, dinner and morning barista coffee with splendid waitress service, superb local seafood and fantastic drinks. The hotel grows many vegetables in its own organic garden and serves its own malt whisky and gin with local botanicals. Bottles are sold in reception or in the larder shop.

We had a wonderful stay at the St Columba Hotel. All the staff were so very friendly and went out of their way to help making our stay special. The views from the Sun Room are stunning throughout the day, especially with coffee and cake in the afternoon. The dinner menu was so creative and wonderful rivalling fine dining establishments. Our room had a view of the Sound of Iona - wow what a view to fall asleep to and wake up to. Thank you St Columba Hotel!!

Very comfortable. Staff very helpful and friendly. Foo excellent (open to non-residents), large lounge with views to die for. If necessary they will ship your bags up from the port. Try to agree which room you get in advance; some have less good view and are a bit small

The staff were great - welcoming and efficient. The communal areas were very nice, taking advantage of the views. Breakfast was excellent. However, the room was very basic and the bathroom was dire. The shower did not drain easily and the fan did not work. Yet there was a notice in the door to keep it shut while showering to stop the smoke alarm going off. The bathroom became so stuffy we had to break that rule in order to keep breathing. The back of the bath was almost flush to the wall with the result that you had to sit up completely straight in the bath. A hand towel and a medium towel were provided per person. So it was almost a hostel experience for £200 per night. You could hear every footstep etc from the room above.
