The Lincoln Hotel

Central location, with a nice breakfast. The place is in desperate need of redecoration as it smells horrible.

Me and my partner stayed here on 15th October for 1 night and for the price( £150) I was shocked at how grubby the hotel was. There was also an unpleasant smell through the hotel hallways, it is in need of an overhaul and decorating. very dated rooms and the bathroom was disgusting. The location was spot on for us. I really expected more from this hotel but you live and learn. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to any of my friends. Shame really as its in a beautiful location.

My first visit to Lincoln and this is tricky...all staff from reception to bar/restaurant and room cleaners were brilliant...welcoming, friendly, helpful and a joy. Rooms were very clean and cosy being kept very warm during what was a very cold spell...a little too hot for some ! And plenty of hot water for good shower/bath. Location was exceptional being opposite cathedral and close to a plethora of super independent shops and some restaurants which didn't have time to sample. Breakfast room and restaurant both have a great view of the cathedral through panoramic windows and you'll even be able to watch the Red Arrows practice whilst eating breakfast if you're lucky like us. So here's the rub...food...breakfast provides a great selection but the hot buffet was not as hot as it should be on both mornings (admittedly we attended near 0900) toward end of sitting but better warming facilities are needed...and you can order something freshly cooked if you wish, so bear in mind if happy to wait...I'm sure it will be good. Likewise evening meal, menu good. food presentation good but lacks taste/flavour..as if preprepared and warmed. Send chef to Castle Hotel where sampled excellent braised beef second night ! Also lift a bit dodgy but works. Lastly Car parking was excellent..very easy with good size spaces..a real plus. Thank you for lovely stay. I will likely return to check if comments taken on board as if food improved I would give 5 stars for excellent hotel and value.

Lincoln hotel is in a great location- very close to the Cathedral. Stayed in this hotel several years ago but was very disappointed this time. The hotel needs some tlc as it’s looking a little outdated and tatty. Very hard pillows and freezing cold shower.

Pleasant enough stay. Comfy bed etc Could do with some TLC in places. Staff I saw were friendly.

Our room was reasonably clean although there was something sticky on the carpet. The bed was spotless and comfy. The hospitality tray was well stocked. The room was very cold when we arrived and took ages to warm up when we switched the heater on. Staff were always polite and friendly.

Lovely hotel we have stayed many.times before, the rooms are nice ,the staff are always helpful ,food Lovely, could do with.a little updating now here and there, but overall nice .

So conveniently positioned, easy to park, lovely staff. Nice, clean, warm rooms with plenty of storage area.
