we stayed in a twin room num 4. it was delightful. the beds were comfy… the pillows fluffy. a lovely bathroom with a good shower. We had an evening meal and the food was delicious. Real Ale for ones who like that and decent wine. the breakfast was yummy too. I can’t fault the staff… friendly..smiley and very helpful. They took our cases upstairs for us and brought them down again when we left. The location is perfect too, near the cathedral and the castle, with a 15 minute downhill walk into town with lots of quaint shops to browse on the way.

This is a charming somewhat quirky hotel decorated in an interesting "country manor house" style. Our room, with its slightly sloping floor, was large and very comfortable. The bathroom had everything we needed. The staff were super efficient and very, very helpful. These ladies carried our stupidly large suitcases up the 2 flights of steps to our room, a service we gratefully accepted. The food was excellent - breakfast faultless and dinner in the restaurant excellent.

FAQs about hotels in Lincoln

The Glory of Medieval England

Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.

Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.

This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.

Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.

Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

Lincoln is lovely. Beautiful architecture. The cathedral is magnificent and the castle is very interesting. Shopping is good and there is a huge range of pubs and restaurants. Would recommend The Reform restaurant at the Castle Hotel.

Lincoln has it all - an historic cathedral quarter, with lots of independent shops, restaurants and bars, cobbled streets and roman walls and ruins. There is the waterfront area on the Brayford, and a lovely pedestrianised shopping area. There are plenty of good places to stay in the various areas of the city. Lincoln castle is well worth a visit, as of course is the cathedral. There are so many good restaurants, with a real variety of cuisines. One of our favourites is Ole Ole tapas restaurant at The Lawn.

An interesting and beautiful city which in recent years has become more aware of it's visitor potential, a near unique setting with the castle and cathedral near each other at the top of an attractive (or challenging?) hill, with more modern developments downhill. Lots of history, plenty of cafes and restaurants, also numerous good pubs many of which are historic and independant. I may be biased, I was born there but now live elsewhere, but yes, it's a great little city.

The castle is a wonder, so much to see and learn about.

The castle is a wonder, so much to see and learn about. The walk around the castle walls especially give you a great view of the city. You could look around the prison cells and watch videos of people who were imprisoned there. Also the Magna Carta was on view. A very interesting place to visit and to walk around the grounds. The cathedral is also a lovely place to look around. Steep Hill has some quaint shops and places to buy afternoon tea and many other foods. Beware its a long steep walk on the way back up! We only had a day there but enjoyed every moment.

Cathedral and castle are both very well worth a lengthy visit. Some really interesting old streets in the upper town are really interesting, but on very steep slopes. The walking tour which starts from near the cathedral and lasts for about 90 minutes is very interesting and excellent value. The waterfront in the lower town is also very pleasant.

The cathedral dominates the town and rightly so.

The cathedral dominates the town and rightly so. It is beautiful. Definitely book for the roof tour, it is fascinating. I also recommend the open top bus tour. Lots of information about the town's history. Lots of lovely pubs too. Thailand No1 is a great restaurant Lion and snake is a good pub for food and socialising. Widow Cullens well is a quiet pub on Steep Hill, a tech free pub with board games and amazing food.

Full marks to the Lincoln Hotel. The night we stayed was during peak Christmas party week, indeed there were three separate parties being held that evening at the hotel. One member of staff told us that it was their busiest night of the month. Our expectations were low for a good nights sleep!However our room was on the third floor in a wing of the hotel through two fire doors. The only thing we heard all night were the bells of Lincoln cathedral and we slept so deeply and peacefully - the beds were comfy, the room was warm and clean.

Lovely hotel located very close to Lincoln city centre. Bars, restaurants and shopping areas are all available within a very short walking distance. The rooms are well above average, depending on which part of the hotel you are situated in. A room with a view over Brayford wharf is our particular favourite both night and day. The dining experience is none too shabby either, the breakfast especially is really good, vast choices on offer. Room service is also available.

Not a chain hotel. Quirky with lots of character. Converted from a former hospital. Set in parkland. Excellent location in historic Uphill Lincoln. Also close to Museum of Lincolnshire Life. Adjacent to the Castle and close to restaurants and pubs. Cathedral 10 minutes walk. Twenty minutes walk via Steep Hill down to city centre. Nice continental breakfast included with good coffee/tea, cereals, juices, croissants,toast and some fruit. Staff excellent throughout.

excellent location for city centre access - cathedral, bars, restaurants etc. 15 minute walk. Car parking inside hotel grounds was easy and low cost for the overnight stay. Reception was helpful also with parking and hotel details.

The location and quality of the hotel was fantastic. A very quiet room with a bonus view of Lincoln Cathedral.
