The Lincoln Hotel

Lovely sized room, bed and bathroom with great views of the cathedral

We had a pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a short visit. Pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade with views of the Cathedral on the 3rd floor. The breakfast was good, with a nice selection to start the day, and the overall experience. Parking was easy and plenty onsite. Just for future reference, when travelling in the summer months, for foreign travellers, there is no air-conditioning. You will be provided with a fan. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, this is a solid choice.

Very welcoming staff, who couldn't do enough for you. They even went out of their way to help me with my mobility scooter and explain parking to me. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I cant say much about the amenities as we didn't use many. The bar had a lovely view of the cathedral and the drinks were reasonably priced. Our only concerns were the food, breakfast was run of the mill and even though we appreciated the chef cooking dinner on a night he was not providng service we were not impressed with the food. If we had thought we would have reviewed the menu before requesting dinner. The fish and chips were nothing special and as for options for someone who is dairy intollerant ... there wasn't any! Other allergies and intollerancies were catered for. And no flexibility for a basic simple meal! The sous vide lamb belly though very tender was all fat, and most of the accompaniments not appropriate for my special diet. I was actually ill all evening and the following morning. And the building looked tired and in need of refurbishment. Over all it was a lovely break and we would stay again if we come back to Lincoln.

This 3* hotel faces the Lincoln Cathedral and is near to Lincoln Castle. Plenty of onsite parking at £7/day. Unusually extensive breakfast and lunch/dinner menus with a quality of cooking that deserves 4*. Rooms are a good size for 3* and the hotel is about to carry out some renovations (Oct 2026). If you need to be close to the shopping area of Lincoln this may not be the best choice but as a touring base it's very good.
