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.

    We liked the numerous places to eat.

    We liked the numerous places to eat. We enjoyed visiting inside the Castle, the walk around the Castle walls, and seeing the Magna Carta. The steep walk was an enjoyable bit of exercise. We were disappointed at the cost of and limited access to the Cathedral, I really expected to be able to enjoy and discover more of its splendour.

    Having been at school in Lincoln and lived there until the...

    Having been at school in Lincoln and lived there until the middle 1980s I was not expecting the wonderful improvement that has occurred - largely I suspect as a result of the relatively new university being established there. The vibrancy of both the city and the ancient exhibits (Norman Castle and Cathedral; Roman remains; Museums and Library all seemed to be as good as anywhere I’ve been and the buzz about the City was evident in that I think I detected only one shop that did not appear to be either occupied or under change for a new occupier - in stark contrast to Salisbury that I visited last year. In particular, Brayford Pool - a Roman artificial lake/pool as a terminus on the navigable River Witham - has been transformed as the main focus of Lincoln University and is buzzing with not only student life but a waterside complex of both national and local restaurants, hotels (Hilton etc) and marinas. I only stayed for 3 days as I thought, from memory, that I could just revisit my old haunts but I intend to come back for a much longer stay.

    The old parts around the Cathedral are stunning, with some lovely artisan shops. Plenty of places to eat. The Cornhill quarter is being revamped and will be pleasant. The High Street into the City is rough and I wouldn't walk it after dark. The International Bomber Command Centre is stunning and a must for anyone interested in WW2 history or wishing to remember someone. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact we met many helpful and informative people around the city.

    Lovely castle and some lovely shops, although a few empty ones as is usual these days. The hill will put some off, but plenty of restaurants and bars. If you like your real ale, The Strugglers Inn is the place to go. Friendly town, will return.

    We enjoyed rhe mixture of ancient and modern & it was great for a short break. We found the free tour of the guildhall very interesting, the castle is well worth a visit & what we could see of the cathedral without paying the £11 entrance charge is wonderful. Parking was provided at property from midday on day of arrival until midday on departure day. Parking in city is very expensive but there is a park & ride which we used & found convenient .

    A great city to explore on foot. The Cathedral is amazing, dog friendly and very welcoming. Unfortunately the Castle isn't but there is plenty more to see and do. Wonderful selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Perfect for a short break.

    Room was nicely decorated,the pool and spa facilities were good, the bar was a really lovely area, we didnt eat in restaurant so cant say but looked nice. We used hotel as base to see lincoln which was short drive away, or was bus stop we noticed directly outside hotel on main road into city centre. We did wander over to the brewers fayre pub to sit outside in garden there as weather was lovely and next door so convenient. Hotel looks better inside than the rather dated, tatty, outside of it.

    Yet another lovely stay at this hotel. The Holiday Inn at Brayford wharf has many benefits including its locality to Lincoln city centre and a vast selection of bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms we have stayed in were clean, well equipped and comfortable with a great view of the wharf / marina area. Their breakfast menu is comprehensive and falls nothing short of excellence. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Cosy bar area with a very relaxed atmosphere.

    The Hamilton Hotel is spotlessly clean, and comfortable, and shows signs of a recent renovation. Parking is excellent. It is a level, easy walk (about 1 mile) to Lincoln city centre. The kitchen/diner is well equipped, and would be ideal for someone looking for self catering but serviced accommodation. I chose a room with a private bathroom, which was tiny but adequate. The bed was comfortable, and the room had all the amenities one expects in a hotel.

    Lovely rooms, great location as close to all amenities. There’s a shop opposite, an Indian restaurant to the right of the hotel and the best pub in Lincoln ‘the Strugglers’ directly opposite. A short walk into the shops and pubs and then if you can get back up take the steep hill to the river and city centre. A fabulous break and lovely welcoming people that’s why we keep returning.

    the hotel itself is a lovely property. I stayed at this hotel for work reasons. my first night was in a single room with its own bathroom. the room was tiny but it served the purpose. the 2nd and 3rd night was booked after my first-night stay and I was allocated a different room, which was huge with a double bed, without a private bathroom which was not great.

    A great place to stay to enjoy Lincoln. A short walk to the city centre. Hotel has parking (£8.50 for 24 hrs), is clean, warm, friendly staff and a very decent breakfast included in the price. The dining area for breakfast is really nicely furnished and a nice space to sit and chat whilst watching the world go by. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

    Very convenient location, especially for the older part of town (although the whole of Lincoln is easily accessible by foot). The apartment is spacious, light, and peaceful. Lovely communal and outdoor areas for preparing and eating basic food (microwave, plates, sink, etc... anything that doesn't require an actual cooker!)

    A very pleasant hotel in a perfect location in the centre of Lincoln, right in the Castle & Cathedral area. Bedroom & bathroom both excellent. Very good breakfast. Very well managed hotel and owner was very helpful in providing a lockable area for our touring bikes. Will revisit this hotel when back in Lincoln.

    Amazing location we could hear the Cathedral bells and it was a two minute walk to the castle. The place had everything we needed to cook meals and a comfortable bed. The patio was lovely and would have been even better if the weather had cooperated! The parking spot in Lincoln is a huge plus.
