Hotel was in good location for the historic area and was walkable. The hotel refused to allow me to park the car in the car park and said the car park was for the exclusive use of guests who booked directly by phone and as I used hotels.com I needed to move it. This is apparently confirmed in the terms and conditions but I must have missed this. I arrived early and could have done with checking-in without the need to return to the hotel after 15:00 but this was refused on the basis that the printer wasn’t working. I moved my car to the council car park which is £10 for 24 hours so pretty reasonable and about 100m away. The bed was rock-hard. The room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was nice - cooked to order.

Every thing was great except being an old property there was no elevator and there is no mention of it in the listing. I have arthritis and carrying my suitcase upstairs was not what I was planning on.

A nice hotel in the old part of town

A very nice hotel, conveniently located near the cathedral, castle & old town. The executive rooms are rather ambitiously named. I would say they are the minimum standard you’d expect from a good hotel these days. Comfortable and adequate. Walls are a little thin, in terms of noise - which could be a problem if you have noisy neighbours. Also cheap and nasty toilet paper which takes the edge of the ‘executive’ experience. Breakfasts were lovely and the staff attentive and friendly enough, though not always entirely on top of their game. Limited free parking is available on site though not always made clear to arriving guests, so you may find yourself needlessly paying £9 for 24 hour parking, over the road. Overall, a nice place to stay for a short break.

A lovely independent hotel, located near castle and cathedral. For high street shops its a trip up and down steep hill but worth staying near the top. My room had castle view, room has good amenities . Really enjoyable stay and I recommend staying here or visiting the bar or restaurant.

Overnight stay

Lovely stay, attic room very nice but heating should have been turned on before we arrived on one of the coldest days of the year! It was very cold and took a while to warm up. Otherwise all lovely and breakfast was excellent, staff friendly. A great location for exploring old and new Lincoln! Would revisit

Bacon burnt beyond crispy

Staff were fanastatic polite ans courteous. Very nice well kept hotel. A real shame that the service didnt finish on a high, last morning 1-forgot our breakfast order 2-breakfast arrived with burnt/cindered bacon 3-as it was New Years day and close to the end id breakfast service, we didnt point out the obvious, we left the bacon and ate the rest, i said to the server it should not have been put on the plate. And an apology would have sufficed. She said sorry. Little things matter, ignorance matters, we will try the white swan next.

The hotel is in a great location and we had a lovely view of the the Cathedral which was illuminated at night and you can hear the chimes of the bells. Breakfast was lovely tasty fresh fruit salad and choice of hot breakfast. Overall a lovely stay. However there is a one annoying thing which was the parking. When I enquired about parking I was told it was for customers who had booked direct with the hotel, and we could only check if there was spaces once everyone was checked in. I was very cross about this as we didn’t know this. The car park across the road is 24hours and is £9.80. It was just the fact that I felt I should be treated as a guest and able to park no matter who I book with!

A very nice, small hotel that probably can't be beaten for visiting the old town of Lincoln, being a few minutes walk from both the castle and cathedral. The room was tiny, though, if very well appointed and with a huge bathroom, so I'd be very surprised if any others were accessible for disabled people. Overall, though, a big thumbs-up for single travellers.
