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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
