I really enjoyed the luxury of the Victorian bath and the thoughtful inclusion of Prosecco, enhancing the overall indulgence of my stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, providing a restful night’s sleep. The well-maintained exterior and clean, inviting common areas, along with remarkably kind restaurant staff who catered attentively to our needs, contributed to a delightful experience. Note: All photos were taken at the end of our stay. Upon check-in, all rooms were impeccable.

Super friendly and helpful reception. Excellent customer service in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The treacle sponge was the biggest we had ever seen and is a big favorite of ours! They went above and beyond to make our experience amazing for both myself and my children. The room was spacious with everything you would typically expect and need in a hotel room. The sweeping grand staircase decorated with flowers leading up to the rooms was a wonderful sight, my daughter felt like a princess walking up them.

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.

    This is the second time I have spent a short stay in Lincoln. It has some good attractions with the cathedral offering a number of different tours. The castle is also very interesting, just watch out for the wind when you are on the wall walk, as it comes from nowhere and is very strong. There are also a couple of museums, a lovely garden and a busy highstreet with lots of independent shops and restaurants. Well worth a visit

    Old part lovely interesting buildings and shops. Cathedral truly magnificent loved the stained glass windows. Lots of places to eat as well as an excellent butcher cheese shop and coffee shop. Down by the river gives a different aspect with big stores banks etc . There are delightful art galleries and lots of green spaces. The arboretum an unexpected large open space on a city, Lincoln easy to walk round albeit hilly in parts!

    The historic centre of Lincoln is very picturesque.

    The historic centre of Lincoln is very picturesque. Lincoln Cathedral is the finest I have seen and we spent a long time exploring it. The castle with its Victorian prison is interesting too and the wall walk gives another view of the immediate area. There are lots of lovely independent shops including small craft and art galleries. The Usher Gallery in the cultural quarter has a good collection of art and is small enough not to be overwhelming. The choice of restaurants is good. We ate at Thailand No. 1, Cafe Zoot and, down in the main shopping area, Mowgli Street Food, all the the meals were excellent, which I particularly appreciated as a vegan who avoids gluten. I would unreservedly recommend a visit to Lincoln, but one thing to note is that there are lots of cobbles and it is hard to avoid steep hills when exploring, so accessibility for those with mobility issues may be tricky.

    First time either of us had been to Lincoln and, since we came to play in a chess tournament, we didn't get to see very much of it. However, what we did admire on our stroll along the High Street was some beautiful and interesting architecture, the Cathedral and many other churches, sculptures and agreeable people. There was a nice atmosphere and lots of families, so it felt very safe to walk in the evening. We enjoyed dining at the Ritz, a beautifully restored art-deco Wetherspoon.

    Beautiful city. Small so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Impossible to get lost as you see the cathedral on hill from everywhere. Very green, trees everywhere. Lovely views of surounding countryside. Great restaurants with good vegan choices. Attractive canal area. Friendly people. Very safe.

    The location could not be better for a short break exploring the lovely historic city of Lincoln. The hotel is beautifully renovated, staff are superbly helpful and the room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The delivered to your door breakfast of croissants and yogurt, and complimentary milk and orange juice in the mini fridge were great, much appreciated touches!
