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.

Rooms were clean and comfortable, if a bit small. But for a short stay near the airport it worked for us!

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.

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.
