Smithton Hotel

Great location for catching the ferry for a day trip. Staff were very friendly.

Hotel good and good breakfast. But visit was spoiled Sunday evening by locals drinking in the bar area unable to converse without using obscene language and no attempt by bar staff to stop it. I expect this sort of thing in a public house but not in a reputable hotel. I do realise that we were just passing through and the regulars are probably in every night. I would not stay there again

ok for a 1 night stay

Good points - staff could not have been more helpful, were willing to put some of my food in their fridge overnight, organised an early (0530) breakfast for those of us that were doing a cycle event the following day that had an early start Bad point - only on arrival was I warned that there was no food available that night as the hotel had a party in the bar for the hotel's owner. That was not a major point, but the party had a DJ that ran until 0030 in the morning (see earlier comment about early start) and the volume was so loud that I stood no chance of sleeping. Hotel may look a little dated but it is clean, everything works and the staff are really helpful. I'd stay again as long as there wasn't another party on...

Extremely helpful and friendly welcoming staff

It's convenient if you are driving there as it is far from the city centre. However, it is close to the historic Culloden battlefield (3 minutes driving). Overall, the hotel needs maintenance, cleanliness is poor. Scottish breakfast is acceptable, though. It's an ideal place for business travellers that doesn't mind little comfort and low-budget travellers able to walk long distances to the city centre. Isn't good for romantic runaways!

Good hotel very clean and pleasant staff

The hotel is nice. Stairs for days. We had to climb 3 levels to reach our room. Here is the journey, thru the doors leading to stairs. When we reach the landing on the first level, we had to walk the length of the hotel to reach the second set of even more narrow stair. When we reached the third level, we had to walk the length, once again to reach our room. Not an easy hike with luggage

Mario is a gem, and all the staff are so friendly.

The hotel looks a little dated from the outside but the rooms are clean and roomy. Great fluffy towels . Breakfast is good and the staff pleasant and helpful. It is in a good location to see Culloden and the Clave Cairns.
