Excellent central location with parking. Clean, comfortable room, mine had a balcony with a part view of the Cathedral. Good breakfast. Perfect for an overnight stay in Lincoln.
Stayed here for 1 night in a triple room.
Even though the room is ready for a bit of a refresh it was very clean and very comfortable. The hotel has nice areas for for a drink or something to eat or just to relax. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The breakfast was amazing.
Great position near both the cathedral and castle.

Good location with its own car park. Room lacked enough power points but was otherwise well equipped though beds were small and lighting was poor and it was somewhat dusty. Bathroom lacked some basics like towel rails and extractor and the shower was not adjustable. We felt unsafe standing in the bath. Breakfast was adequate and the view from the eating area was excellent. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Very friendly helpful staff, excellent location and lovely views of the Cathedral. Our room was clean and bed was comfortable but a view general maintenance jobs made it look a little tired. Edge of windowsill had fallen off and the surface of the bath had seen better days. Coupled with worn furniture and a balcony which needed a good clean lowered the quality of what could have been a five Star stay.
Room was clean, staff friendly and helpful ,very enjoyable breakfasts..

I was a bit worried about staying here having read some 'iffy' reviews, but I needn't of. For being a 3 star hotel I thought it was great. Location was perfect, breakfast was good, lovely choice of food. Our room was good and overlooked the cathedral. The bed was very hard so we asked for a mattress topper which they put on for us. It didn't make difference and we still had 3 nights of not sleeping through the night and waking up in pain!! Could also have done with a hairdryer on the room, but requested one and it came really quickly. The lady on reception who checked us in was fabulous and no complaints with any other member of staff. All in all it was a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

Enjoyable stay from start to finish. Staff from reception to bar staff to breakfast staff very helpful and friendly! Room was very comfortable and the view was to die for!!!
Great position opposite the Cathedral, the Hotel room was looking dated although comfortable. The breakfast was a buffet style and offered a good selection.
