A real surprise

This was the most affordable place for us to stay on our last trip to Inverness. We were expecting a fairly run down local pub, and it looks a bit like that from outside. But inside the rooms have been renovated and are actually very comfortable. The only down side is there isn't a lift and you need to lug your bags upstairs but the staff were great and would probably help.

I enjoyed the staff, service, cleanliness of room. While this is an older establishment outside, the room was updated. Everything in room worked perfectly. I had 2 soups while staying there. A tomato and corn. Both were so tasty. Close to bus line and bus/train station.

The Smithton Hotel and its staff ticked all our boxes. A comfortable and clean room with well-equipped and clean ensuite shower and facilities. Excellent well presented breakfast with many options. Excellent well presented evening meals with good choice. Only criticism of our stay here was the conversational noise that transmitted to our room from the bar. Otherwise, as said, it ticked all our boxes.

The Smithton Hotel is awesome! Close to the airport AND town AND in a cute neighborhood. The beds were super comfy, coffee and little cookies in the room, hot shower with good water pressure (you never realize how important that is until you DON’T have it), FANTASTIC breakfast, everyone working there was SO friendly and helpful and as we were leaving, the owner helped us with our bags! I LOVED our way too short time at the Smithton.

The Smithton Hotel was such a perfect place! It’s small, family owned and they stayed up late to let us in when our flight was delayed. The bed was SO comfortable! The breakfast was DELICIOUS! It was so quaint and close to the airport but convenient to get to town. The owner was so very nice. I would stay here again & again!

We had a room directly over the exit door from the bar. This is supposed to be a smoke free hotel but several people came out that bar door and smoked directly below our window, filling our room with tobacco smoke. We had to close the window which made the room stuffy. Tiny bathroom! We had to leave early in the morning for our flight so didn't get breakfast. The receptionist offered bag lunches for us instead. What we got was two grated cheese sandwiches, nothing else on the sandwich, two green bananas, two bags of chips and two bottles of water that we couldn't drink because we had to go through security at the airport. Hardly equal to a Scottish breakfast. It was weird.
