Hotel is looking a little tied they need to spend a bit money on doing it up the restaurant and bar areas are nice but the rooms and corridors bathrooms definitely need revamping. It’s in a great location it could look lovely.

The Hotel room looked very tired, especially the bath, most of the enamel had disappeared off the bath, the furniture was scratched and chipped in places.we did not have a room with a view , but wasn’t bothered, but the hotel looks like it could with a jet wash.The amenities in the room were very good, different teas, coffee, and the toiletries were a nice touch too .The staff were very accommodating and helpful, especially Martin whom I had spoken to the previous day before arrival, he gave me some advice about getting from the train station to the hotel , overall for the cost of what we paid for the room, it was worth it , just really thinks it needs a refurb in the rooms

Mixed review
Having had our wedding reception here in 1971 we were looking forward to our stay. The breakfasts were excellent, staff helpful but our curtains wouldn't draw, the toilet seat fell off and water would barely drain away in the sink. It was reported but nothing was done. This was disappointing.

Hotel location amazing with amazing views of the cathedral, the room are a little tired but clean, the room we stayed in it had obviously been a birthday/anniversary and was still the cellotape up from holding up the balloons and banners on mirror and balcony door! But other wise generally clean. Staff on reception really helpful , quick and officiant.

Decent stay in Lincoln
The hotel is a bit dated, but overall not bad. Great location right across the street from Lincoln Cathedral. The bed was comfortable. Not all rooms are air conditioned, so you need to call the hotel and request an air conditioned room after you book if you want one. My room felt a bit tired and in need of a remodel, but there were no major issues.

Has a nice stay at the Lincoln hotel. Good room with comfy bed and decent shower. Great location, next to cathedral, easy to walk to restaurants, bars, shops. You are at the top of the steep hill but that wasn't a problem for us. Staff are lovely and helpful. I was a little dubious when we booked in as there was a wedding in the hotel and some sort of karaoke or loud singing going on at 5ish but we weren't really disturbed by it in our room and had a good night's sleep.
