Great location and staff friendly. But… hotel is tired, very tired. Proudly 1960s and seems has never been updated since. For a one night stay in a good location it’s fine but set expectations to budget not luxury.

Great stay, everyone helpful and polite. The hotel needs a lot of TLC, furniture in bar area seats need a clean. Painting would make the hotel not look tired, a good overhaul is needed. Location perfect. Great stay, no complaints, just tired looking hotel.

Had four nights at the Lincoln Hotel in a family room whilst visiting friends and family in the area. The location of the hotel is excellent and the charge for use of the car park a very reasonable £7 a night. The room, though a little tired (particularly the bathroom fittings) was large and comfortable. Breakfast was served in a very pleasant room overlooking the cathedral and was excellent. Evening dining options were limited with seemingly no ‘bar snack’ options, though there are a plethora of restaurants in the area. When we were there, the lift was out of action but we had been forewarned and in truth it didn’t present a problem. Would certainly consider using the hotel again if in the area.

Stayed for 2 nights, big car park on site and only 7 pounds a night. Very friendly staff and very clean all over. The hotel looks old fashioned and tbh could do with a revamp, especially the mattress, which made springy noises when you moved. But for a good price ,to get your head down ina cental location it was great . Spotless place , good shower and a nice bar area.

The hotel is quite tired, although it looks like they are modernizing bit by bit. Bar, restaurant is nice, reception and common areas quite tired. Our room definitely needed a refit, although it was comfortable and clean. Bathroom had seen better days! What stood out as excellent is the staff, very helpful and cheerful. Overall a decent stay in an unbeatable location overlooking the cathedral.
