We always stay at the Lincoln Hotel when visiting Lincoln. Lovely staff, comfy beds, great breakfast. Excellent location for visiting the Bail, cathedral, castle and the Strait. Plenty of local shops and a visit to the Wig and Mitre is a must

Great location and staff friendly. But… hotel is tired, very tired. Proudly 1960s and seems has never been updated since. For a one night stay in a good location it’s fine but set expectations to budget not luxury.

Doesn’t look as smart as the pictures. Needs a revamp as looks very tired. On the plus, the room was warm. No working lift which was a mare when climbing to the top floor.

This independent hotel is brilliantly situated, with excellent rooms- both common and bedrooms. Staff invariably friendly. The place is spotlessly clean, and breakfasts are first class- indeed can easily be cooked to order.Car park capacious, particularly for the centre of the city. That said, we did find our bed unusually hard, as were the pillows. If some softer beds ARE available, it would be good to be able to opt for one! One other quibble:no electric shaver points in bathrooms, not even in the gents loo. And with the sole lift out of order, no offers to help carry cases upstairs...

Great stay, everyone helpful and polite. The hotel needs a lot of TLC, furniture in bar area seats need a clean. Painting would make the hotel not look tired, a good overhaul is needed. Location perfect. Great stay, no complaints, just tired looking hotel.

The hotel is quite tired, although it looks like they are modernizing bit by bit. Bar, restaurant is nice, reception and common areas quite tired. Our room definitely needed a refit, although it was comfortable and clean. Bathroom had seen better days! What stood out as excellent is the staff, very helpful and cheerful. Overall a decent stay in an unbeatable location overlooking the cathedral.

We have stayed many times at this hotel and love the area. The Hotel is at the top of the hill just out side the cathedral and has a nice seating area outside. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is delicious. The decor in the is slightly dated but overall a very comfortable Hotel.
