Staff were amazing! Friendly and attentive. Rooms were spotless. A bit on the outskirts but better than the hotel we had downtown Inverness.

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.

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.

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.

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.
