Put us in a disabled room when we’re fully able on the ground floor firstly, the room was noisy, shower had marks, furniture was worn and the double bed we paid for was actually 2 single beds put together and because they’re made for disabled people, the bed are incredibly low down. Room was noisy could hear everything from next door and the corridor. When I asked to pay for an upgrade, the woman said they were fully booked however I went online and saw there were many rooms available. Safe to say I won’t be coming back here, and I will be staying next door in the Hilton whenever I’m in Lincoln

Great location, not a great room

Great location for exploring Lincoln, Hotel was welcoming and breakfast was lovely, self service with a full choice of cheeses, hams, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, cereals, toast and full cooked traditional English, 5* The room however was not ideal, we were given room 10, a ground floor disabled room with a full wet room, not the cleanest and lots of dirty stains on bedroom carpet, We are not a disabled couple so shouldn’t have been given this room, there were emergency low lights permanently on throughout the night - had I realised this would be the case I would have requested another room on arrival, this definitely affected my ability to sleep.

A bit musty

Pretty good location close to the old town. Nice breakfast selection and breakfast room. Worst part is that the hallways and room smelt like mildewed carpet. The bathroom (on the 4th floor) smelt like sewer. Rooms are getting old enough to feel a bit worn down. Kettle was dirty.

A lovely location and hotel, being close to the centre and historical places. The evening settingvand sunrise adds to the charm. My room (18) is comfortable, though a little warn - an upgrade. The evening meal was satisfactory, and breakfast a treat quality and setting early! However, cup lids for take-away dont fit! 😞. All staff are a credit! 😀

Poor at best

Hotel is tired and requires a serious revamp. My room has exposed cables, storage heaters from the 90,s and a shower cubicle that didn’t drain so overflowed whilst you showered. Besides the dated and patched up decor there was the issue of cleanliness. My room had not been cleaned to the extent that the previous occupants razor was still in the shower and their toe/finger nail clippings were on the carpet by the bedside. Additional to the gross toe nail incident, I’d hate to think when the last time the telephone was sanitised.
