Cast
Critical receptionTV Guide gave the film two out of five stars and called it an "Average comedy";[3] in the Radio Times, David McGillivray also rated the film two out of five stars, calling it "no great shakes as comedy, but interesting as a vehicle built around a much-loved British star at the end of his career"[4] whereas Britmovie noted, "Twenty years after appearing on stage in this lively Rex Frost play, in his penultimate film Gordon Harker reprises the role of a belligerent hotel waiter having to use all his wit and cunning to save his job. This low-budget film features Harker in typically jovial form, dominating comic proceedings with typical polished expertise, and with a less assured cast this thin comedy wouldn’t be worthwhile. There are early roles for Billie Whitelaw and Janet Munro, and the doughty Irene Handl is cast as the hotel’s spirited cook."[5]It was one of 15 films selected by Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane in The British 'B' Film, their survey of British B films, as among the most meritorious of the B films made in Britain between World War II and 1970. They especially praised the performances of Lohr, Handl and Harker.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/small-hotel-1957|title=SMALL HOTEL - British Board of Film Classification|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6bfa6310|title=Small Hotel (1957)|website=BFI}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/small-hotel/review/118083/|title=Small Hotel|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/cz57t/small-hotel|title=Small Hotel - Film from RadioTimes|publisher=}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/Small-Hotel_1957|title=Small Hotel 1957 - Britmovie - Home of British Films|publisher=}} 6. ^Steve Chibnall & Brian McFarlane, The British 'B' Film, Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2009, pp. 272–73.
