Thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days. Location brilliant - with added bonus of very reasonably priced car parking. Staff very helpful and polite. Good breakfast and we also enjoyed dinner at the hotel - which again was reasonably priced along with good bar prices. My only reason for marking it down was the rooms are a little ‘tired’ - especially the bathroom but maybe I’m just nit picking. It didn’t spoil our stay and would recommend.

Enjoyed a four night stay here. Breakfast was great apart from one day they were slow re-filling. Didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening so can't comment. Did use the bar, great service and helpful staff. Room was a bit dated, but clean and well equipped. A good hotel, right in the centre with great access to tourist spots, bars, restaurants and shops. This was our second stay and we would definitely stsy again if visiting the city.

We really enjoyed our short stay at The Lincoln- near to historic facilities and some nice outdoor places to eat at in the evening. Also a good balance of cultural shops. Staff were friendly and accommodating plus respectful when addressing patrons- a lovely stress free environment in an established part of olde Lincoln. No complaints other than for the horrid weather !
