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.

My sister and I love coming to the Lincoln Hotel and have stayed over the course of many years. This time our visit was especially good, largely in part because the staff on Reception were so courteous, welcoming and efficient. They really went the extra mile for us, enabling my sister, who has mobility issues, to move around the hotel stress-free. They were truly amazing. Our room was lovely, comfortable and very clean, as always. And we were also very impressed by our evening meal in the restaurant: delicious food, attractively presented, at a very reasonable price. All in all, a great stay at a very welcoming hotel. Thank you to all the staff who made this stay so enjoyable. We’ll be back for another visit soon!

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.

Needs attention

I was provided with the disabled access room though I don’t have a disability. The open drain in the level access shower smelled, there was long hair all around the bathroom and the room heating was not working so I was cold.

Breakfast was really nice. Only complaint I have is, as usual, plenty of sockets but none near dressing table. Struggled to do hair. Just doesn’t make sense.

Needs updating

The hotel is dated and needs updating. The rom was overly hot and there is no aircon. The lift does not access all bedrooms, only the delux ones. Staff were helpful and friendly but it didn’t make up for the overall experience I’m afraid.

There were shops nearby, the Cathedral was just over the road and there was a bus stop right outside the hotel, so we were able to do quite a lot by bus. We weren't keen on the dinner menu, but the breakfast was very good. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The room was ok, but, as with most hotels, there was only one chair so we had to take it in turns to sit comfortably and watch the TV in the evenings.

It's a great hotel, though is starting to show it's age. Which is a shame, it's the best location in Lincoln and the hotel is cool and quircky in a 60's way. Unfortunately it's lacking in some mod cons, no aircon im the room we stayed in. But otherwise all is good. Great staff, sometimes it was difficult finding someone on duty.

We have stayed a few times at this hotel over a 30-year period. We found the price of evening meals and wine prices too expensive so we ate out, however, the breakfast was really good. Take your own shower gel as only 1 tiny bottle in bathroom. Bed and pillows very comfortable.
