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!

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.

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.

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.
