Overview
The Lincoln Hotel, a refurbished 1960s property next to Lincoln Cathedral, is a great base from which to explore the medieval city. The hotel is close to the Westgate Water Tower, The County Assembly Rooms, the Priory Arch and the Medieval Bishops' Palace.
Lincoln Castle, a Norman castle constructed in the late 11th century by William the Conqueror, is five minutes' walk away. The Collection Usher Gallery, which houses an eclectic range of works by famous artists, decorative arts and timepieces, and the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, which celebrates the culture of Lincolnshire and its people from 1750 to the present day, are both within 15 minutes' walk away.
Doddington Hall and Gardens is 20 minutes' drive away and the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is 40 minutes away.
The hotel's AA-Rosette Green Room restaurant combines traditional flavours with a contemporary twist and sources local ingredients. "The Green Room has a striking, design-led interior, with candles and fresh flowers adding a homely touch", says The AA, which also praises the hotel's "superb uninterrupted views of Lincoln Cathedral".
You can relax in the lounge with a coffee and a cake or have a pre-dinner aperitif in Bar 67, which has retro décor -- its name is an ode to the spirit of 1967, when Jimi Hendrix played a sold-out gig at Lincoln's ABC Cinema.
Rooms are decorated with modern designs and all come with Wi-Fi and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Superior Rooms have views of Lincoln Cathedral or garden views, and some have a private patio.

This hotel is in the perfect location for visiting the Lincoln Cathedral and Castle. We chose the superior room which had great views of the cathedral especially at night when the cathedral towers were illuminated. The hotel itself has a very friendly atmosphere with a great breakfast. We used the restaurant in the evening as we booked the dinner option and the food and service was excellent with a few complimentary additions brought to our table. The beds are very comfortable with nice bathrooms. The hotel car park was excellent value at £5 for our complete stay.

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to ensure you have a great stay. The hotel has a very relaxing ambience and we would recommend this hotel to anybody and look forward to returning for another stay in the future.

First time in Lincoln, chose hotel cos of its location, right by the wonderful cathedral. Hotel perfectly adequate, though double bed a bit small, breakfast good. Big gripe about noise from parties in Disco area, not just a bass thump thump, but could recognise Cher and Mariah Carey on sound system past midnight. Phoned reception, noone there. Luckily it stopped at 0030. Complained in morning, they waived car parking charge!

The location was great. £5 departure payment for 24 hour parking at the hotel was fair. Check in was quick & easy, I thought the hotel was a little dark & drab with its old décor. We were on the second floor, where the carpets in the room & corridor looked old and shabby. The superior room we stayed in was also a little dark, the bed very comfortable, the shower and bathroom good. If I am being critical I thought the TV was set low, it should be mounted on the wall. We had a 3 course meal in the green room that we all really enjoyed, we all had to decline the dessert because we were stuffed after the first two courses!

I understand that reception had recently been resited which would account for the very confusing signs to the reception. This needs to be sorted quickly,! The only other negative comment I would make is that there was no decent drawer space in the bedroom. The drawers were so shallow it was difficult to fit any items in!

I thought that the decor of the corridor leading to our room was very gloomy and there was an unpleasant smell ,not very welcoming ,but the room itself was lovely. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant the staff were really pleasant. We went to our room to enjoy the rest of the evening and got comfy hoping to watch a film and relax unfortunately that wasn’t possible, we could here loud music and I thought it was coming from the bar and would stop soon but it just kept getting louder we don’t like complaining but at 12.40 my husband rang reception to see how much longer it was going on for as we had had enough of the constant noise, he was told it was the staff Christmas party and they would turn the music off soon which they did after a couple more songs . I booked a superior room as a surprise for my husband on our 39 th wedding anniversary, we had some very happy times at the ‘Eastgate ‘ as it was then so this experience was very disappointing. When we checked out we weren’t asked if we had enjoyed our stay or I would probably have said something but as you’re asking I thought I would let you know about our experience and I suggest you tell the hotel to notify guests if there is a function on during there stay and maybe suggest that they are further away from the function room if they don’t want to be disturbed, I certainly wouldn’t have booked that room had I known.

The car park is at the rear of the hotel and a pathway leads to reception at ground level. The friendly staff made you welcome particularly Louis, Marie and Nicola at breakfast and Nigella, Gemma and Lacey at dinner. The hotel could do with a touch of paint in places to cover doors and shelves. The bath needed recoating.

We stayed in room 232. The windows were not double glazed so we could hear the cathedral bells every 15 minutes until 11:30pm and they started again at 7am on the Sunday morning. You could not hear the bells from the bar, so it must have been the lack of double glazing in our room which was the issue. Also the mattress was way too soft and the pillows too hard. There were hairs left on the toilet seat and the bath plug was full of white hairs.

The food was exceptionally good, the staff were attentive and the rooms were clean. However, in the lift, corridors and room itself there was an overpowering smell of air freshener that made my throat itch. Unfortunately, as the weather was so cold, we couldn't open the windows long enough to get rid of it.

We booked this as a deal through travelzoo and as such it included dinner in their fine dining room (The Green Room)and, as such we have given it 5* as value for money but cannot comment on the normal price. It was a standard room with a view of the rooms in the next wing. The corridors to the standard rooms are looking rather careworn but the rest of the building is fine. We enjoyed our stay and the fine dining resturant food and staff were excellent. There is also a more standard style dining area but we only experienced this for breakfast.

Check in was smooth and the receptionist pleasant but when we asked to book into the restaurant, we were told that it was full. We then said OK we will eat in bar 65 only to be told that it was closed but there was a limited menu available in the reception area/bar as it was raining we did not want to go into Lincoln to find somewhere else to eat. We went up to our room which was normal size for city centre hotel and clean and comfortable with a good shower and controllable heating. We later went down to eat, there was 4/5 mains and I chose the pie of the day only to find there was not one, so we both chose the steak and king prawns but when it arrived the prawns were substituted with scallops which fortunately we both like but we should have been told. We ordered 2 sides and had to ask for them, they arrived about 5 mins later but did not have the dip so we had to ask again by this time we were half way through our meal. On the positive side the steaks and scallops were very good quality and cooked perfectly so we decided to book the restaurant for the following night. The service was incredibly slow, the couple next to us had been seated for 40 mins and had not been served and we did not fare any better so we asked for the advertised cocktail menu only to be told that they did not serve cocktails now. When our food arrived mine was lukewarm but by then I was hungry so just ate what I could unfortunately it did not live up to the steak, I feel that the chef is over-reaching himself as the various components of the dish did not complement each other. We did speak to the duty manager who said she would bring it up at the team meeting that day and promised to adjust the bill and when we checked out she had deducted a couple of our drinks, however the main reason we spoke to her was to draw her attention to the niggley little things which were letting the hotel down. Had we not eaten there, it would have been an excellent value for money stay.

Breakfast service is not as good as we would have expected. We were not shown to a table, not served tea or coffee nor asked if we would like to order anything from the menu. Also the buffet breakfast was not maintained with fresh food adequately and the choice of cereals, fruit and yoghurt is very limited. Although this is just our personal comment, I think most guests would welcome this improvement as other members of our party and comments from other guests did suggest they had the same opinions.

The room was small, with a small bed, no air conditioning (the weather was hot) and a broken toilet seat.
Some of the food at breakfast had frequently run out. It was just the scraps available. Constantly had to ask for replacements.
The hotel is now looking tired. It will always attract guests due to its location, but that's no excuse for complacency.

Whilst eating breakfast on Sunday morning, I was appalled at the number of guests who had attended a wedding the day before, standing just outside the reception doors at the top of the steps, smoking and then throwing their cigarette butts both onto the steps and onto the gardens either side. The groundsman, who had already cleared the debris from the previous day, including cigarette butts from the main seating area, was on his hands and knees picking them, and other litter, up, but still they continued to throw them down. This is no reflection on the hotel, but perhaps a notice could be displayed asking smokers not to smoke by the door, so that non smokers don't have to walk through the smoke, and to use an ash tray?

Rooms were not very clean, carpets needed a good vacuum and the bathroom floor needed a good scrub. Housekeeping in general areas was also substandard. The lift was very noisy and interrupted our sleep. I really do not expect a hotel of this type to offer breakfast coffee and tea out of vacuum flasks.

The hotel is in a superb location and although externally it isn't the most attractive building, it is a really great place to stay. Be careful about parking as there are limited places and you may not be able to get a space as they can't be reserved - there are public car parks within walking distance. The hotel overlooked our request for a twin room so when we arrived they upgraded us to a twin garden room which was excellent - doors out onto a delightful walled garden, complete with the room's outdoor table and chairs. The evening meal was exceptional - really high standard of food and thoroughly enjoyed - outstanding value for money!

Everything was fine except that we had been told, at reception on the Friday evening, that we could leave the car in the car park until 5PM on the Saturday, when we had planned to leave. However on the Saturday AM we were told, by a different receptionist, that we had to move our car out of the car park by mid-day, because of a large wedding. We were not that pleased. It would have been better to have told us on the Friday and we could have looked for cheaper parking elsewhere. Instead we were stuck with expensive car parking for the 5 hours that we actually wanted to spend in Lincoln. The car hotel park had plenty of space in it at 12 o'clock, on the Saturday!....

Having contacted reception it took over 20mins for someone to come by which time the room was like a sauna. Eventually someone did come from maintenance and switched it off. However when we returned to the room the problem of the shower unit had not been mended. We decided to for go our second night and go home. I was disappointed that we were not offered a new room and showed my concern that the shower was dangerous if someone turned it one whilst standing in the bath - the receptionist showed no concern or interest and it was an effort fir her to say ‘sorry’

The only downside ... the size of the bed - seemed a bit small. Partner is 6ft and his feet were out of the bed. Maybe because in a standard and not a deluxe room. Being on the 3rd floor with a balcony and a view of the cathedral was a bonus.

The staff are friendly and the hotel is clean and well situated. The room and bathroom decor was a bit tired and shower head could not be angled and it soaked the bathroom floor during my shower. Evening meal was excellent food but let down with the length of time it took to serve it . We waited over 1 hour to be served our starter then a further 40 mins for our main course, this happened over two nights and we watched others in the room waiting the same length of time. Also my husbands starter was missing vital ingredients. We had two lunches in the bar area and these were served quite quickly and were tasty.

The standard of our room. The shower would not work properly and took 40 minutes to fix and then it did not work properly. We were late going out but the Duty Manager said he would look for another room but thought he was full. He did not even have the courtesy to ring and say there were no other rooms available. We had a room above the wedding disco and the music was very loud but did end at 12.10. It would have made sense to have put wedding guests near the disco then it would not have disrupted their stay.
People were running around the corridors and banging doors till around 1.30 in the morning. They then started banging on the doors at around 7 in the morning and this was still going till 8 when we eventually got up. They were also shouting loudly at each other.
The pillows were rock hard so we did not get much sleep either.
As for breakfast the tables were no cleaned properly and crumbs and stains were left on them and this was at 9 in the morning. It took 30 minutes to replenish the orange juice. The cooked breakfast was mixed with the sausage and hash browns excellent. However the bacon was greasy, the fried eggs rock hard, the beans very runny with a strange amount of sauce and the tomatoes were hardly cooked. The croissants also tasted not fully cooked and had a very strange aftertaste and the coffee was undrinkable.
Also the hotel corridors had a very strange smell which was a little like water chestnuts in Chinese dishes and not pleasant at all.

Room; in need of refurbishment, not overly clean, bath was dirty no air-conditioning and the main window was sealed with paint and unable to be opened except with a crowbar !! the bathroom window opened about 3 inches. Overall a very unpleasant dingy room. We asked to be moved after complaining about it's condition. The reception area is in need of refurbishing, chairs were dingy and dirty, probably from overuse, not pleasant at all. Breakfast was reasonable but staffing was limited which affected attention to detail i.e. cutlery's limited and items on buffet not replenished unless customers asked.

Restaurant staff told us we could spend £25 on a range of courses anything over £25 to be paid for. We explained we were expecting a three course dinner all included but she insisted she was right. So we only ate 2 courses which came above £25. It took the shine off it a bit . On checking out we were only charged for drinks and not charged the "extra" on food so reception staff knew the correct details of the deal.

food is brilliant, breakfast and dinner! view from breakfast room amazing would be worth spending £20 to book one of 3rd floor deluxe rooms at front which have balcony literally over road from cathedral. location is superb, 2 mins walk from castle and the hill so any good eating places and interesting shops

this is a very good 3 star hotel staff very friendly although service at breakfast on our first morning was a bit chaotic. The hotel was very busy but this should not have caused the problem of food and drinks running out.

Staff were lovely - especially the kind young lady on reception. Only little moan would be the air conditioning unit in the room needed a good Hoover out as was full of dust. Otherwise, everything else was great.

There's usually at least one small niggle when staying at hotels. Not on this occasion, everything was perfect. Can't wait, (but I'll have to), for this offer to be repeated.

Lovely view of the cathedral with great access to both the cathedral and the castle within easy walking distance. Amazing selection of shops both at the higher level and also down at the bottom of Steep Hill! Good bus service from the centre on the 7,8 10, 11, 12 which drops you right outside the hotel.

The building is very dated. While most of the staff are very pleasant, they are overstretched. We waited 20 minutes for a coffee when we arrived and breakfast on the first morning was not very organised due to a lack of staff. I had to get up and find someone to ask for a pot of tea. Our table was laid but cups and milk were missing. Food was not replenished unless someone asked for something. It was less busy the following day and therefore service was better.

A tale of two dinners. 7.00pm evening meal we ordered one salmon and one steak meal. They arrived and the salmon meal was cold, it was returned and I carried on eating mine. The second salmon was also cold so that was returned, I carried on with my meal. Third time lucky by which time I had finished. So ended eating my meal on my own and then watched as my wife had hers. Not exactly a nice evening meal out.

The superior room with a view of Lincoln Cathedral, and its location so close to the old centre of the city. The catering, both the dinner in the Green Room and the breakfast were very good - delicious. All staff - reception, catering, cleaning - seemed very pleasant and professional.

The room was clean and very comfortable, but the corridors smelt strongly of a cleaning agent which was a bit 'institutional'.

The food served in the Green Room was ridiculous. The menu was trying to be too clever. I was served a grissly steak with 9 large barely warm tomatoes. The starter of scallops was accompanied by a huge horseshoe of compressed pork. I am bewildered!

The view and proximity to the castle and shops was however brilliant. The food on the night was very good, tasty, good quality, well prepared and staff capable and attentive, a pleasure compared to breakfast. Secure parking onsite at £5 for the night and day I feel is very reasonable considering other car park options nearby.
Other Comments
Unfortunately the carpets smelt terribly in the corridors and were very grubby, not in the rooms, but still very off putting. The Cathedral view superior room we had was very tired, lots of chipped paintwork and the toilet didn't flush well. Breakfast mediocre, understaffed and average quality, ordered eggs benedict which was forgotten first off, then when finally did come was on burnt muffins with no ham! I wouldn't want to pay £11 for it.

When s arrived our room was cold, radiator not sorking. Rang reception & they brought up a small heater. Took ages to get warm. Went for evening dinner at 8pm, could not get an earlier time. Both of us have digestion problems & need to eat earlier. Dining room was very chilly. Waited 35 minutes for starter, then another 20 minutes for many course & 15 minutes for dessert. The service was appalling. All the time we were getting colder as there was a cold draught coming in the door. Also my bank could of duck was very under cooked & inedible. I was offered something else but would take time to cook & I was not prepared to wait any longer. We complained to the manager but only got a very muted apology. Also complained about non-working radiator. This was put right by plumber lunchtime next day. This break was for a Wedding Anniversary celebrations & first day was ruined.

Room was a little tired looking, in need of a lick of paint here and there but was comfortable and clean. But at the price we paid there really are absolutely no complaints at all and we will definitely return in the future. Fantastic location, fantastic deal!

The hotel itself is well sited with excellent views of the cathedral from the front rooms which are spacious , well appointed and comfortable . Public rooms are also spacious and comfortable .
Breakfast room and breakfast OK . On the two evenings we spent in the dining room the service was so slow that we walked out after the second course (over two hours) on the first but managed to stay the course on the second . I have never spent so much time in a dining room ,
Fair to say the food was good when it finally arrived but the time of delivery was totally unacceptable .

The diy attitude of many of the staff. The general unhelpfulness of some key staff, eg at reception. The lack of experience and training of many staff in the standards to be expected; the way to talk to customers and the indifference and general absence of managerial oversight of practice in and around the hotel. The couple next to us in the dining room were kept waiting for 55 minutes before receiving their starter course despite having arrived at the time scheduled by the hotel. No sign of any concern by the two young women serving in the dining room.

The hotel was very 'tired' and in need of updating, there was an unpleasant (disinfectant?) smell on the landing/in the room; the restaurant served poor quality - and cold - food, even after returning it for being cold, and the staff clearly had very little training, not knowing how to serve food or drink and leaving all the tables uncleared.

Staffing levels for breakfast weren't high enough for the extra guests generated by the Travelzoo offer, management should have foreseen this. However the staff did their absolute best in difficult circumstances.
