Damon’s Hotel offers accommodations in Lincoln with easy access to the A46. Lincoln castle is 5 mi away from the property.

Reception staff (Sarah) was extremely pleasant and very professional. Sarah made our arrival a very good start. The hotel looked and smelled (in a good way) new or at least newly refurbished. Carpets were soft, springy and new. The room was also very smart and looked new. Spacious and homely.

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.

    I may be a little biased; I wasn’t born in Lincoln, but it very quickly became my favourite city in England. There’s so much to do and the place its beautiful. The architecture is gorgeous and the Brayford Wharf is like something out of a romance film. The music scene is great and the top of Steep Hill gives some incredible views! You can eat at fantastic restaurants like Cosy Club and AskItalian, you can go for a walk through town and look at all of the gorgeous buildings. The only bad part of Lincoln is the Rat’s Nest: it’s a labyrinthian set of roads and streets packed full of terraced housing, chavs, criminals and delinquents. You can’t miss the place, it’s right by the Stadium. I’d stay well away, if I were you. Type of place you’d see mattresses on the pavement, if you get what I mean.

    Worth a visit.

    Worth a visit. We originally visited on a day trip & promised ourselves that we would come back some day to have a chance explore Lincoln better. We are definitely glad we did. It gave us a chance to catch up with old friends & to sample the history Lincoln offers. Would happily recommend Lincoln to people. A gem of a place. Would suggest you take the open top bus to get an idea of what is on offer & where then build on that

    Perfect for short/business getaway but not for the city bred...

    Perfect for short/business getaway but not for the city bred. RAF bases and the University with it’s savvy students brings some needed cosmopolitan attenuation to its magnificent historical attributes, however some older folk are still ‘stuck in their ways and attitudes to globalisation’. AVOID the local NatWest bank AT ALL COSTS if you’re not ‘British born’ - it’s a revelation about Xenophobes hiding in plain sight! It’s a beautiful city, with lots of interesting history let down by a few ignorant people in positions of power.

    Old City peaceful and interesting.

    Old City peaceful and interesting. In spite of narrow 1-way streets it is possible to find easy ways to reach the accommodation by using Google maps. We avoided the need to walk down steep hills by using a bus. Ate with friends the second evening but found excellent spanish restaurant close by on the first (other good restaurants found on previous visit). Interesting modern Museum at a lower level with nice café.

    Lincoln is a beautiful city.

    Lincoln is a beautiful city. Very hilly so wear good walking shoes. You must visit the glorious cathederal and if warm have tea on the cafe terrace. The Strugglers Inn is a perfect real ale pub minutes from the hotel where you will find a true traditional pub and friendly landlord and clientele.
