Overnight stay

Lovely stay, attic room very nice but heating should have been turned on before we arrived on one of the coldest days of the year! It was very cold and took a while to warm up. Otherwise all lovely and breakfast was excellent, staff friendly. A great location for exploring old and new Lincoln! Would revisit

Bacon burnt beyond crispy

Staff were fanastatic polite ans courteous. Very nice well kept hotel. A real shame that the service didnt finish on a high, last morning 1-forgot our breakfast order 2-breakfast arrived with burnt/cindered bacon 3-as it was New Years day and close to the end id breakfast service, we didnt point out the obvious, we left the bacon and ate the rest, i said to the server it should not have been put on the plate. And an apology would have sufficed. She said sorry. Little things matter, ignorance matters, we will try the white swan next.

The hotel is in a great location and we had a lovely view of the the Cathedral which was illuminated at night and you can hear the chimes of the bells. Breakfast was lovely tasty fresh fruit salad and choice of hot breakfast. Overall a lovely stay. However there is a one annoying thing which was the parking. When I enquired about parking I was told it was for customers who had booked direct with the hotel, and we could only check if there was spaces once everyone was checked in. I was very cross about this as we didn’t know this. The car park across the road is 24hours and is £9.80. It was just the fact that I felt I should be treated as a guest and able to park no matter who I book with!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
A very nice, small hotel that probably can't be beaten for visiting the old town of Lincoln, being a few minutes walk from both the castle and cathedral. The room was tiny, though, if very well appointed and with a huge bathroom, so I'd be very surprised if any others were accessible for disabled people. Overall, though, a big thumbs-up for single travellers.

Castle hotel

The hotel was lovely and staff were very friendly and helpful. We did park in the hotel parking but got told you could only really park there if you had booked straight through the hotels website . We were told we may have to move to one of the public car paths. Thankfully it was ok and we didn’t need to move. Car parks are dotted around though. Location was fantastic 5 mins from castle and cathedral and shops.

Friendly staff, clean room, great breakfast and five minutes walk from the cathedral. The room was on the small size but everything has been squeezed in to an old building that was originally designed for something else. Much prefer that than a square box on a motorway junction. Would happily stay again
