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.

First night was a little rough due to noise from the down stairs bar but Peter the owner made quick to change our room so if noise is an issue nedd only to ask they are very accommodating, not much within walking distance though so prepare to tracel a bit but overall a nice stay

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.

Conveniently located close to Inverness airport. Very comfortable beds. Fluffy towels. Hotel has bar and restaurant. Bar was pretty noisy on a recent Friday night stay. Earplugs recommended.

We were assigned room 9. The staff was friendly. The restaurant and hall smelled musky. Lamb was not good, burger was decent. Room size is ok, it got a weird closet that has junk in it. There is no sound proof, i thought the room across child was trying to unluck our room. The window closing mechnism was boken. The building and room needs to be updated.

Great place for the price, but don’t stay in room 5. The noise from the bar, music and talking sounded like it was in the room with you. We had the window shut and earplugs in and still didn’t get sleep until after the bar closed at 2 am.

The staff was so caring! They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They had advice about where to go (tourist activities). When my son didn’t wake up for breakfast, they made something to take on tbe road! This place really surpassed my expectations.

It might not look like much from the outside, but our room was extremely nice and everything was very clean. The location is quiet and if you have a car, then it's very near to everywhere you might want to visit. It was the perfect location for us. Staff were friendly.

Stayed there because it was convenient to the airport but affordable. When they found out I had a very early flight they offered to make me a sack lunch in lieu of breakfast, and sure enough at 5 am my sack was on the front desk when I left. If I ever need to make an early flight at Inverness again I would return. Overall, clean and cozy, but they really could use a lift. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent.

Smithton Hotel is in close proximity to Inverness Airport and therefore convenient as a final stop before early flights. I was admittedly concerned when I arrived to see an attached pub, but noise was never an issue and our second floor suite was more spacious than I expected (and with great views). The lack of an after hours attendant would be my only knock and this property is probably not suitable for people who have heavy luggage or find it difficult to climb a flight or two of stairs.
