The room was clean and warm and the staff were very professional and friendly. Great location next to the cathedral
Mark, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location and staff friendly. But… hotel is tired, very tired. Proudly 1960s and seems has never been updated since. For a one night stay in a good location it’s fine but set expectations to budget not luxury.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is excellent, hotel is a little tired but clean, staff very good.
Julian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay, everyone helpful and polite. The hotel needs a lot of TLC, furniture in bar area seats need a clean. Painting would make the hotel not look tired, a good overhaul is needed. Location perfect. Great stay, no complaints, just tired looking hotel.

Needs attention

I was provided with the disabled access room though I don’t have a disability. The open drain in the level access shower smelled, there was long hair all around the bathroom and the room heating was not working so I was cold.
Iain, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs updating

The hotel is dated and needs updating. The rom was overly hot and there is no aircon. The lift does not access all bedrooms, only the delux ones. Staff were helpful and friendly but it didn’t make up for the overall experience I’m afraid.
Heather, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Lovely hotel right by the cathedral. Comfortable room and a great breakfast. Easy to get to and the parking is handy. Would highly recommend
Dave, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Lincoln Hotel was perfectly positioned for our 4 day break in Lincoln, directly opposite tge cathedral. Having an onsite car park was a also a key factor. We had a nice Sunday lunch in the hotel when we arrived on Sunday.
Chris, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

6/10 Good

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.

Excellent stay.

All good, very central location, welcoming helpful staff. Breakfast best we have had in a hotel for some time!
Janet, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food/staff very good but entire building needed redecorating, new carpets, curtains, furniture, felt like going back to the 70's. Room poor, no aircon, bathroom small and dated. Overall everthing shabby and disappointing, thought would be a lot better !! Think location is the only factor that keeps this hotel going. NEEDS LOTS OF INVSTMENT !
Ian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect location

We always stay here when we visit Lincoln. The hotel is in a brilliant location, right opposite the cathedral and close to lots of lovely shops, cafes and restaurants.

Great location, in need of a refurb

Great location, hotel is in need of a refurb. Perfectly fine for a night, and as was heavily discounted, worth the money.
