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.

Our room was clean, comfortable and had a wonderful view of the Cathedral. Everything that we wanted to see was within an easy walking distance of the hotel. We went out for our evening meal and on our return we found a wedding reception in full swing. The Website for the hotel does say that they cater for weddings, however, what we were not expecting, was a very loud disco that went on until midnight. I would advise that if anyone is considering booking this hotel, check that there is not a wedding /wedding reception being held there!

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 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

Stayed for 2 nights, big car park on site and only 7 pounds a night. Very friendly staff and very clean all over. The hotel looks old fashioned and tbh could do with a revamp, especially the mattress, which made springy noises when you moved. But for a good price ,to get your head down ina cental location it was great . Spotless place , good shower and a nice bar area.
