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.

    Loved the beautiful location of property. Near the canal and Marina with a bus service into Lincoln city centre. A perfect location to relax after the hustle and bustle of a day in the city. Food what you expect with Pub Grub no complaints at all. The staff make this hotel I forgot to ask her name but the young lady who checked us in was amazing taking the time to give us local info and making sure we were settled in. I have to add all staff were friendly and helpful and would definitely stay here again.

    Staff, while they could not find our booking, did everything they could to resolve the issue. The accommodation they provided was large and very well located (Right next to the Cathedral and Lincoln Castle). It would suit a large group but the limitation of a single bathroom needs to be taken in to account when booking. Has a great lounge area and kitchen with a large (could seat 10 + people easily) dining table. Great for parties (If the accommodation allows it).

    The location was brilliant. I was very impressed by how clean the room was,the shower was the best I've had in a hotel and the beds were really comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was impressed at breakfast as there was a separate gluten free section including a toaster. The food was clearly labeled for allergens and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. I will definitely be returning.

    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 room was a bit small but this did not bother us as we were there for only one day. It was well equipped with tea, coffee machine, fridge for our own use, water and a pleasant shower. Free parking in such a centrally located hotel within a very short walk to Lincoln Cathedral was great and a tremendous advantage. Would we go again - Yes, undoubtedly.

    Excellent location, literally round the corner from the Lincolnshire Museum (highly recommended) and an easy 10 minute walk to the historic city centre. Local shops very good, particularly fish and chip shop on Burton Road. Lots of accommodation in this amazing house, all very comfortable. Appreciated the garage parking too, and small lawn for our dog.

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the waterside at Brayford Wharf, so very close to bars and restaurants in Lincoln. The breakfast was good quality, in the restaurant at the top of the hotel, so the views across the city were nice. The staff we encountered were all very polite and helpful.
