Hotel with parking and great view

Hotel in excellent position overlooking the Cathedral. Slightly dated and chilly in corridors. Breakfast service could be improved by having more coffee machines.

The hotel was very cold, radiator in room barely warm but reception gave us a portable heater. Bathroom very dated, shower head squirting water everywhere. Bed uncomfortable with old mattress. Service at dinner non existent but the food was very nice, also the breakfast. Compliments to the chef. Location excellent, next to the cathedral and Steep Hill.

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.

The worst stay in a hotel I have ever had. The room was dirty with cobwebs all over the walls and ceiling, the carpet about 50 years old, dirty, and a smell of urine throughout the hotel. The bathroom door didn’t close properly and behind it was again filthy making us not want to use the shower. Even worse we were kept up all night with someone knocking on room doors and shouting as they could not get in their own room making us feel unsafe. Upon walking to reception police were then with a woman who I presume had been the one shouting. Overall an awful stay and would strongly advise to stay away from this place.

Loved the location, food, service. Standard room - very comfortable and clean. Amazing breakfast. Coffee machine in the dining room wasn't the best and either needs servicing, or upgrading, and maybe a second one. We attended a family function and the hot buffet was exceptional, plentiful and tasty. Staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried.

Lovely location for the cathedral, castle ruins and Bailgate. Needs a bit of updating throughout the hotel but had a very spacious room with well equipt facilities. Would recommend for other travellers wanting to see Lincoln.

Bad experience.

I had 2 rooms booked. On arrival, the room was freezing. I asked reception to have a look and they gave a heater. I requested to be moved ans i was moved to a warmer room. Our second room had a massive hole in the wall. Outside my room it looked as though works were going on as the wall wasnt even painted! The rooms were not very clean and not be staying again
