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.

Very welcoming staff, who couldn't do enough for you. They even went out of their way to help me with my mobility scooter and explain parking to me. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I cant say much about the amenities as we didn't use many. The bar had a lovely view of the cathedral and the drinks were reasonably priced. Our only concerns were the food, breakfast was run of the mill and even though we appreciated the chef cooking dinner on a night he was not providng service we were not impressed with the food. If we had thought we would have reviewed the menu before requesting dinner. The fish and chips were nothing special and as for options for someone who is dairy intollerant ... there wasn't any! Other allergies and intollerancies were catered for. And no flexibility for a basic simple meal! The sous vide lamb belly though very tender was all fat, and most of the accompaniments not appropriate for my special diet. I was actually ill all evening and the following morning. And the building looked tired and in need of refurbishment. Over all it was a lovely break and we would stay again if we come back to Lincoln.

Good location with its own car park. Room lacked enough power points but was otherwise well equipped though beds were small and lighting was poor and it was somewhat dusty. Bathroom lacked some basics like towel rails and extractor and the shower was not adjustable. We felt unsafe standing in the bath. Breakfast was adequate and the view from the eating area was excellent. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is dated and rooms need some renovation with paint peeling off the walls and the old decommissioned air conditioner full of dust and dirt.

We stayed at The Lincoln Hotel for one night. Garden room with a kingsize bed. Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was spacious and powerful. We had a few drinks and an evening meal in the Lounge Bar. Breakfast was plentiful, help yourself in a relaxed environment. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of onsite parking - only negative, a sign to direct you 50m passed the hotel on the left would be very helpful.

Although the Hotel looks a little tired and in need of some updating, our room was fine. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. The Lincoln relies heavily on it's position at the top of the town and behind the Cathedral. It was also very useful to be able to park at the back with no worries.

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 was the only positive aspect of this hotel. It’s very tired - bedroom carpets were filthy and very work, cracks in bedroom wall, ill fitting bath panel, broken bedroom blind. I would not chose to stay at this hotel again

We stayed in a basic room with no air con or fan provided. It was so hot and when we opened up the windows for air, it was over the car park with both road noise and an extractor unit. We had little sleep. The bathroom is extremely compact and I had to ask for a hair dryer. The upside is it's location is great. And breakfast was nice.

Hotel very dated. We had a garden room, which sounds good however was disappointing! Would have been nice if the gardens had be attended too, but there were overgrown trees and lots of weeds. Patio area outside the door was a nice touch, again not maintained. Breakfast was really good and nice views of the cathedral from the bar area. The weather was warm and not much seating area outside, although there was lots of room.

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.

The hotel is outdated and in a very poor state of decor. Paintwork old and flaking,windows filthy, carpet not even hoovered, superior double costing over £200 was appalling. Two single beds shoved together and not even joined, sink plug stuck in down position, had to lift out to get it to drain, sink cracked, toilet seat loose, bathroom flooring cracked...and so on. Breakfast booked but nothing available, kept having to wait for items to be fetched and cooked, staff very slow indeed. Overall worst hotel we have stayed in for that amount of money (and several other guests said exactly same at reception when checking out). Would NOT recommend this hotel.

Disappointed with overall stay. Decor is peeling and unmaintained, including furniture, doors and wallpaper. TV doesn't allow Netflix or Disney Plus and just has basic channels. Shower wasn't clean and water goes all over the bathroom. No anti bac soap to wash hands with.
