Set just behind Lincoln Cathedral, the Lincoln Hotel was comfortable, clean, ultra convenient. The staff were helpful Efficient and friendly. Food was excellent - dinner was first class, breakfast either buffet or cooked fresh in their kitchen, both of great quality.

Stayed here for 1 night in a triple room. Even though the room is ready for a bit of a refresh it was very clean and very comfortable. The hotel has nice areas for for a drink or something to eat or just to relax. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The breakfast was amazing.

The hotel was good value as we had booked to stay there to see a concert at the Castle. Other hotels were asking higher prices for one night than we paid for 2. The hotel is in need of refurbishment but its in a fantastic location with amazing views of the cathedral so you can forgive the rest :)

Location is great for the cathedral and castle and the city tour bus stop. The hotel has no Aircon so beware if visiting in hot weather. Rooms opposite the cathedral have a small balcony where you can watch the peregrines. Breakfast is varied but found choosing from the cook to order gave the best options.

The hotel is in a great location for exploring Lincoln, was good value and our room was clean and had everything we needed. Generally the hotel was looking a little tired and the restaurant looked rather soulless so we opted to eat elsewhere.

We always stay at the Lincoln hotel when visiting Lincoln. Staff are always helpful and attentive. Location of hotel is excellent, having breakfast whilst looking out on the beautiful Lincoln Cathedral. Good on site parking (there is a charge), very close to the Bail, Lincoln Castle, Cathedral (dating back to 1072). Had evening meal there, food was very good and prices good to. Would highly recommend a stay here

I think the location of the hotel is excellent a couple of minutes walk and you are in the old part of Lincoln which was what we wanted as we were going to an event at the Castle. We have stayed here before a few times but in all honesty I think the hotel is starting to need a bit of a revamp in the bedroom and hotel corridors especially. That said our room was clean the breakfast this morning was good with plenty of choice available, and the staff were really friendly and pleasant.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was comfy. Breakfast excellent particularly the pastries, great location. The hotel has been repainted inside however the guest bedroom corridors and room carpets appeared a little stained and worn. That being said it didn't feel dirty in the hotel. Take a fan with you for your room if hot weather! I would stay again.
