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.

The hotel is looking very tired. We had a standard double room, all that was left when we booked. Perhaps other rooms are better. Our room was small, hot and very dimly lit. A heavy curtain had to be kept closed as we got up as there were no nets and we were overlooked from the car park, and the dim lighting made it difficult to get organised. While clean, the bathroom had peeling paint and loose shower controls. Furniture had chipped paint. The bed was comfortable and the breakfasts were superb. The location in the Cathedral Quarter is excellent.

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.

Our room was clean but an added touch could be some bottled water. The chairs in the lounge and bar area are tired, not very clean and uncomfortable.

I had stayed here previously a few years ago and was surprised to find how run down this hotel was. The layout of reception etc… had changed now requiring going up and down lots of stairs. Our beds had seen better days. The paint was peeling off our bathroom door and the television unit. The shower was freezing and shot water all over the bathroom floor. Breakfast was welcome to the 70’s era. Stale cornflakes and tinned mandarins. My husband ordered Eggs Benedict off the made to order menu and the eggs were rock solid. Totally inedible. We won’t be returning.

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 !

Excellent breakfast. Friendly efficient service. I upgraded to a Deluxe room, which was definitely worth the extra, with a fabulous view of the cathedral and were more spacious with a walk-in shower. Maybe it would benefit from a towel rails in the bathroom?

Lovely staff, nice breakfast, great location and easy parking. Decor is a bit tired and bed wasn’t very comfy. They are currently fixing the lift so maybe that’s the start of a refurb. Overall, not sure it was great value for money but a decent place to stay for a night.
