I really enjoyed my stay at the Tower Hotel, the staff was very helpful and lovely, 5 star customer service. I really enjoyed the freshly made breakfast as well. The hotel is just few minutes walk from the Cathedral, and still easy to find a parking space, I never had issues finding a spot.

The hotel was absolutely gorgeous throughout! The staff were incredibly nice, stored luggage for us and made checking in and out easy. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. It's not often that you can look out the window and see a castle! We loved the convenience of the location and our tapas dinner at Ole Ole next door was wonderful (reservations encouraged). There were lots of quality options at the continental breakfast (beautiful pastries, breads, sliced meat and cheese, fruit, yogurt, and more). We would return in a heartbeat!

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.

Not much of a shopper so stuck to the Cathedral Quarter. Cathedral fascinating and worth more than one visit. Walk round Castle walls very interesting and great views. Nooky shops and eateries close by.

I have visited Lincoln before and have a family member there. This time we were on the way to Newark for me to be dropped off for a train going North. The hotel is in a lovely part of Lincoln and has a great cocktail lounge. We went out to eat in a Thai restaurant nearby which was lovely but breakfast and the facility for a morning drink of coffee and tea in our room was poor.

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.

Such a unique hotel right in the middle of old Lincoln; perfect location on the Steep Hill. They allow you to park your car two hours before check in and two hours after check out, which enabled us to really enjoy the area. The receptionist was delightful and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room at night was dark and quiet. The complimentary continental breakfast was warm and delivered straight to our room. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Lincoln, especially for just one night.

Great location for visiting Lincoln and Lincolnshire. On a bus route direct to the city centre, and not far from the northern Park and Ride. If you liked walking, there is a 7 mile route along the River Witham which was very enjoyable.
