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.

    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.

    The marina, cathedral and university campus is all worth a visit. The surrounding countryside is known for its endless skies and you may find the red arrows overhead as they are often in this area between displays

    The hotel is situated well within the city, we used the local walk and ride buses to get to the Cathedral as it can be a long climb up the steep hill but walking back down brings you past some great pubs and into the main shopping area.

    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.

    Arrived at the Loudor and filled out my cooked breakfast request with what ever I wanted. The room was so quiet and the bed super comfy! Breakfast the next day was amazing! It was such a surprise to be served by a talking robot- loved every minute of it. There were plenty of cereals to eat, the cooked breakfast was excellent quality and the owner Wendy was so friendly. The parking is free and the hotel was super clean and felt just so safe which is important to me as a single traveller.

    In a great position in uphill Lincoln. Easy to find with parking either on the street with hotel permits (only a few of these) or large pay car parks. Bar and restaurant very nice and bar gets quite lively with a great friendly atmosphere. Rooms are quite large and comfortable. All staff are very friendly and efficient. No food available at the hotel when I stayed on a Tuesday night but plenty of options nearby. Breakfast was really good. Very good enjoyable stay at a reasonable price.

    Yet another lovely stay at this hotel. The Holiday Inn at Brayford wharf has many benefits including its locality to Lincoln city centre and a vast selection of bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms we have stayed in were clean, well equipped and comfortable with a great view of the wharf / marina area. Their breakfast menu is comprehensive and falls nothing short of excellence. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Cosy bar area with a very relaxed atmosphere.

    Beautiful period property, fabulous location and views over the Lincoln city and Cathedral and castle. Literally a couple of minutes stroll and you are in the historic part, and 10 minutes walk, you're in the more modern, lively areas. Can't recommend this property enough, works so well for exploring Lincoln, parked the car on the first day, and didn't use it again until we reluctantly left to come home.........

    Room cold old type air con that smelt when first turned on. Windows dirty/room dusty. Room old and tired. Bathroom spot light not working/big dints in the bath loo didn’t flush very well. Waited over 45mins for food. Meal for 4 my food came out and must have been under the heat lamp for a long while. The hotel was generally ok and in the perfect location just didn’t live up to the website information

    The location was terrific. I was working at the cathedral which was just across the road. The room was big enough, comfortable with a desk to work at and plenty of sockets. Wi-Fi was good enough for me. The car park, just £7 for the whole stay, for a hotel in the city centre was amazing. Couldn’t fault the breakfast. Would stay again whenever I go to Lincoln.

    A great place to stay to enjoy Lincoln. A short walk to the city centre. Hotel has parking (£8.50 for 24 hrs), is clean, warm, friendly staff and a very decent breakfast included in the price. The dining area for breakfast is really nicely furnished and a nice space to sit and chat whilst watching the world go by. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

    The hosts were so kind and welcoming and friendly; it felt like staying with family, in beautiful, heartwarmingly decorated house rather than at a faceless hotel. I will make an excuse to visit Lincoln again, just to stay with these lovely people. Thank you, Ian & Anna (PS: THE COOKIES!!!!!)
