My room 129 was located remotely, very dull, paint peeling off the bathroom door and surround, shower not flexible and water draining off very slowly, and after the shower water leakage from under the tub onto the floor. Breakfast and staff were very good.

All staff I encountered where exceptionally friendly and helpful with good knowledge of local area. Lovely choices of full hot and cold buffet breakfast. Fantastic evening meals in the restaurant, though limited choice if staying more than two nights. Amazing location just a few hundred yards from the Cathedral and Castle at a reasonable price. Very clean comfortable room overlooking the Cathedral with everything you need. Best sleep ever! Definitely returning.

Liked: Staff & service
Hotel is in a convenient central position in Lincoln, and benefits from excellent parking at £7.50/day (I think per day, but could be per stay). Buffet breakfast was the highlight, well cooked, plenty of choice and with additional options of items like eggs Benedict cooked to order if wanted. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Downside for us was the heat of the bedroom - unfortunately we were there on a very hot weekend - the room was sweltering with no fan or aircon, leading to a very poor night’s sleep. Corridors to the rooms really need a refurb and had a strange smell. Otherwise a good stay - beds were comfortable with good quality linen (though pillows hard, as they so often are in hotels) and bathroom was clean.

We have stayed many times at this hotel and love the area. The Hotel is at the top of the hill just out side the cathedral and has a nice seating area outside. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is delicious. The decor in the is slightly dated but overall a very comfortable Hotel.

Excellent location right by the Cathedral, plenty of on-site parking (at a daily rate). We had a balcony overlooking the Cathedral, but had to ask for chairs to use on it. Paintwork in parts was a little tired and scuffed. No fridge in the room, only a kettle.

A wonderful stay at the Lincoln hotel. We went to see Sting at Lincoln Castle the Lincoln Hotel was a perfect choice as within walking distance of the venue. Not to mention the hotel overlooks the Cathedral and gives stunning views of it. We decided at the last minute to eat in the hotel the food was top rate but i felt a bit sorry for the one lady running the whole thing however it was a tuesday night so maybe usually on weekdays they are not so busy. Breakfast was excellent and a lot more staff evident and seeing to everyone's needs so maybe the hotel had compensated for the night before. A really lovely stay. We will definitely go again.
Stunning view of cathedral at night from our mini balcony
Not a bad view from our room this afternoon at The Lincoln Hotel

The Hotel is in a beautiful location opposite lincoln cathedral and a walk from all the attractions. The breakfast and evening meal was very good. Parking is also a bonus . Unfortunately the Hotel is in great need of a refurbishment ,the furnishings are very old worn and dirty the hall ways and curtains are in much need of a clean very dusty and smelly . The room its self was also old and worn stains on the chairs were not a pleasent sight .I was very disappointed . The staff were polite and helpful.
