Stewart
Friendly helpful staff and a pleasant location. Will use the hotel again
Christopher
The staff was so kind and accommodating. The young man that worked in the afternoon/evening was such a hard worker!! Food was great, pub was fun, room was clean and comfortable! We will definitely be back!
Benjamin
We had an excellent stay at the Smithton hotel. Lovely people, had everything that we needed, excellent beds and showers, the location was perfect and the price was fantastic, especially as we had to book late notice. The breakfast in the morning was personally made to order. Fantastic place in a very convenient location.
Abigail
The staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming! And the food at the restaurant is made to order. It tastes great and is fresh.
Angela
Clean, small room. Flat pillows, thin walls-could hear the person next room snoring. Breakfast doesn’t start til 8 on weekends, so not useful for an early flight. It is close to the airport which is why I picked it
Allen
Very nice staff
David
Peter and his staff were very warm and welcoming. Comfy bed. Delicious breakfast.
Jennifer
We enjoyed our stay. We took the bus into and back from the downtown part of Inverness easily. The hotel isn't the newest, but the bed was more comfortable than some other hotels we stayed in during our trip to According. The staff were friendly and helpful. My guy really loved the haddock at the restaurant, and the free breakfast was nice. It was a bit hot during our stay (very uncommon), so while a fan would have been nice to cool is down at night, we got by with an open window. We'd stay here again.
Paul
Excellent value near inverness airport. Clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good basic standard.
Anthony
Parking easy very later arriving but Staff were there waiting for my arrival excellent thank you.

Paul
The hotel is very clean. The staff is wonderful and will do anything to help. They even stayed way past the normal end of check-in time because our plane was so late getting to Inverness. I would definitely recommend Smithton Hotel!
Rachel
Friendly staff who did all they could to accommodate us.
Paul
Plenty of parking. Thin walls, though, which meant you could hear everything, and I mean everything people are doing next door. Convenient location as the start of our travels in scotland. Rooms were right size for our family. Staff was amazing! Breakfast was better than most placed I'd say. Would stay again.
Duncan
I had to be booked in for 10.00 and the kitchen closed at 8.30 so had to go out and the bed was smelling of dampness and when I came back from eating out I had to phone for someone to let me in not ideal after driving almost 150 miles so I’m afraid I will not be using the Smithton hotel in the future the bar was also closed early so I couldn’t get a drink when I came from eating out.
Kimberly
Amazing food

Friendly hotel, comfortable and clean room. Welcoming and friendly staff. Very much enjoyed my stay.
Melanie
The room was really nice and spacious, but they really need an elevator (lift) as our room was 2 floors up and I am disabled. Food was excellent- we’re sorry we had to miss breakfast due to an early flight. Staff was very helpful.
Anne Marie
Lovely hotel but very steep stairs and no lift, especially if you have mobility issues. No rooms on ground floor and only double room on second floor. Breakfast was lovely. Just wish hotels would think to put sockets beside the bed rather than on the opposite side of the room. Nice room with lovely views of the hills.
Catherine
Peter, the inn keeper is fantastic. Great breakfast and staff. Clean room. Easy parking and access to everything easily from Culloden to Inverness to Findhorn.
Greg
Clean, modern, comfortable room. Full Scottish was excellent.
Anne
We stayed here for the convenient location, and had a bit of an emergency. The staff could not have been more kind or helpful. I will make this my regular place to stay every time I am in the area, which is 4-5x a year. Fantastic food too!
William
Beautiful small town feel. Family like atmosphere, the rooms were extremely clean and the staff could not have been more helpful. Easy bus route into Inverness or close enough by taxi to not cost a fortune. Complimentary breakfast was amazing unlike just the continental offered at most big chain hotels. Highly recommend it if you plan on touring the area
Carmela
Lovely hotel. Staff was absolutely amazing!!! Breakfast was excellent. Would stay here again.
Dale
This property was great. Great staff and room was very nice and clean.
Jon and Mary
The owner himself ran the breakfast area (great meals!) and personally offered the use of the washer and dryer for us. One evening dinner service was on the slow side but the food was very good. Andy at the bar was kind and personable. Both gave us tips on places to visit.
The room was third floor and no lift but Andy showed us how to open the window for comfort and I loved the little lending library of books. Walls were thin but we slept well. We would stay here again!

From the moment I arrived, the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Peter went the extra mile and drove me to meet my tour bus when the taxi was not available. You really feel part of the family. Breakfast was made to order! Delicious home cooked food.
Abigail
Great place for a quick stay. Plenty of parking, clean rooms, friendly staff. We could hear the people taking below in the pub, but it was actually kind of soothing and we got a great night’s sleep.
Sarah
Peter who works at breakfast was so nice and accommodating.
I didn’t know the hotel was in a suburb with homes all around. It was very nice.

Nancy
Lacking a hook on the door of the shower room and a shelf in the shower cubicle
Christine
The hotel was spotless staff were all outstanding. Food was excellent. One of the best hotels ive stayed in. I highly recommend The Smithson hotel when visiting Inverness.
Theresa

We had a delux room on 2nd floor. It was spacious had plenty of places to sit comfortably an in room mini fridge large bathroom. Staff was friendly and informative. Full breakfast and bar service and dinner options onsite plus free parking.
Liz
Ideal for a stopover
We had a great room, but on second floor, no lift. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food good and reasonable choice. Great location for Culloden and Inverness but in the middle of a residential area. Good for parking. Great for an overnight stay or as a base for visiting the local area.
Lindy
Very comfortable.
Wendy
Peter and his family are just excellent and go above and beyond for their guests. Breakfast was delicious.
Lisa
Great hotel!
Judith
This hotel was perfect for our needs for 2 nights. My initial thought was that the outside looked a bit 'tired' but the interior made up for it. Our room was very nice, bright, clean and comfortable. The shower was great with big towels. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices for a full cooked breakfast or cereals etc. I enjoyed the nice big chunks of fresh watermelon and orange slices. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was on a bus route (we didn't use it) and was only a few miles from Colloden and Clava Cairns. We would stay here again.
John
This is an older hotel, but full of character. The staff were amazing.
Kristen
Rooms were clean and comfortable, if a bit small. But for a short stay near the airport it worked for us!
Cathy
Great place. We spent only one night there. Wonderful staff, welcoming place. Delicious food at the restaurant. My sister and I had a great time there.
Noriko
Just a great place! Awesome friendly and helpful staff. Full bar, full restaurant with a great menu. ABSOLUTELY will stay here again on my next trip to Inverness!
Colleen
Wonderful staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Room was as described, clean and had everything needed. Beds were very comfy and breakfast was delicious.
Venn
Super friendly , helpful staff who make you feel at home and the bartender Andy who treats you like family. They also serve the best Scottish breakfast in Scotland .

It’s an older place but gives the best vibes. It almost felt like a bed and breakfast with how quaint and sweet the building and people were. The only downside is there is no elevator but the front desk attendant helped us with our bags. There is still a physical key access to this place. It’s amazingly cozy too.
Jan
It‘s a real pub-hotel, with some noises and simple but adequate rooms. But the owner and his team: they make the stay like you are in a 5 star hotel. They are supportive, communicative, have patience with customers who don‘t have fluent language skills and they are friendly at all times. It was a delight to stay at the Smithton.
John
Happy Highlander
A pleasant surprise for a hotel that looks like it's in an urban area. It is actually very close to the countryside and has easy access to the city centre.
Externally, the building is showing its age but the room was comfortable, clean and quiet.
Friendly, helpful staff and a good breakfast.
Evening meals are also available.

Property is quite run down compared to the pictures shown. However, overall is was a decent stay with good breakfast. Place was quiet. Helpful staff.

Julie
Smithton Hotel near Inverness Airport is a convenient and comfortable choice for travelers looking for easy access by car or bus. Located just a few minutes' drive from the historic Culloden Battlefield, it also offers opportunities for scenic walks and hikes in nearby Culloden Woods. Plus, there are plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance.
A key detail to note is the front desk’s limited check-in hours, but once checked in, guests receive both a room key and a key to the main entrance for ease of access. I had the chance to stay twice—once at the beginning and again at the end of my trip. The staff was responsive to my request for a room away from the restaurant and smoking section so that I could enjoy fresh air with an open window. When I returned with my tour group, they accommodated my request as best as they could, which was much appreciated.
Breakfast is included, which is a great bonus, making mornings hassle-free before heading out to explore. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would gladly return to Smithton Hotel on a future visit.

Staff were amazing! Friendly and attentive. Rooms were spotless. A bit on the outskirts but better than the hotel we had downtown Inverness.
William
Great location 10 min from downtown. Awesome staff, thanks Andrew! Fun bar. Nice rooms. And breakfast was included!
Pam
Pleasant Surprise in the Suburbs
Pleasantly surprised with this relatively reasonably priced hotel located in a quiet suburb (?) of Inverness. It was a short taxi ride from the train and to the airport. The room was very comfortable, clean, and well supplied for the bathroom and the morning in room coffee/tea service. We had dinner there as well, an added bonus when you are staying out in the quiet areas. Peter checked us in an made a taxi reservation for us for the 0430 ride to the airport, thus taking that anxiety off of our shoulders. We highly recommend this hotel.

Good food
Maureen
This is a wonderful place to stay. Staff are so friendly and helpful and hotel is located a 5 min drive outside Inverness. I would definitely stay here again .
Jeason
Great value great breakfast.
Great value. If anything too cheap for the standard they deliver. Room was really clean and bedding was to a high quality and standard. The breakfast was amazing. Great produce cooked fresh as you order.
Sara
Ok for a couple of nights
Hotel is a bit dated. Comfortable enough. Clean enough. Very little sound deadening so quite noisy.
Colin
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.
Bree
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.

Perfectly pre flight stopover
Simple hotel. Rooms recently refurbed and whilst not the biggest bedrooms, were comfortable, towels were big, G&t v reasonable priced, staff friendly and food good portions and well priced. Perfect to get to Inverness airport

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!

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
David
Very average

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.

Nice small village atmosphere.

Staff were helpful and very informative. The rooms were comfortable, and neighborhood was very convenient for daytrips.
Gina
The hotel staff were great. The location is not walkable to the downtown Inverness area but an easy taxi ride.
Karen
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.
Miss
Great stay!
Wonderful welcome by staff and locals in the bar. Room was spotlessly clean and comfy. Breakfast was excellent! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

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.
Rachel
Very helpful friendly owner
Barbara
They had the best fish and chips that I’ve had in a long time. Friendly staff. Short drive to Culloden Battlefield, Urquhart Castle, Cawdor Castle on Loch Ness.
Amy
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.
Lauren
Ten minutes from the airport and quiet
Denise
This is a quaint hotel wih a friendly staff that was very accomodating. It is an older hotel that has been remodeled.

Great stay just outside of Inverness. Friendly staff and comfortable, clean accommodations. Perfect for our travels around Inverness.

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.
Jeff
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.
Eric
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.
