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!

We had a room directly over the exit door from the bar. This is supposed to be a smoke free hotel but several people came out that bar door and smoked directly below our window, filling our room with tobacco smoke. We had to close the window which made the room stuffy. Tiny bathroom! We had to leave early in the morning for our flight so didn't get breakfast. The receptionist offered bag lunches for us instead. What we got was two grated cheese sandwiches, nothing else on the sandwich, two green bananas, two bags of chips and two bottles of water that we couldn't drink because we had to go through security at the airport. Hardly equal to a Scottish breakfast. It was weird.

We were assigned room 9. The staff was friendly. The restaurant and hall smelled musky. Lamb was not good, burger was decent. Room size is ok, it got a weird closet that has junk in it. There is no sound proof, i thought the room across child was trying to unluck our room. The window closing mechnism was boken. The building and room needs to be updated.

Great place for the price, but don’t stay in room 5. The noise from the bar, music and talking sounded like it was in the room with you. We had the window shut and earplugs in and still didn’t get sleep until after the bar closed at 2 am.
