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.

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.

The room was very tired looking. We had to complain about the noise from a wedding disco which you could hear very clearly in our room. We had to ask to move as there was another function on the second night. They did move us to a deluxe room which was lovely.

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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very ugly hotel from the front (I think it must have been an old 1970's office block). The entrance at the front is weirdly upstairs from the reception, which is downstairs at a separate entrance. Anyway, the staff were very lovely, very welcoming. The room was fine, clean enough but very tired (heavily scratched desk, old carpets etc.) and the mattress was very lumpy. But having travelled for 12 hours from the Middle East, I could have slept on stones. So I slept very well. The Wifi is good, the T is good, and the heating works well, so it was pretty comfortable. For a 3* its what you'd expect.

We have stayed a few times at this hotel over a 30-year period. We found the price of evening meals and wine prices too expensive so we ate out, however, the breakfast was really good. Take your own shower gel as only 1 tiny bottle in bathroom. Bed and pillows very comfortable.

There were shops nearby, the Cathedral was just over the road and there was a bus stop right outside the hotel, so we were able to do quite a lot by bus. We weren't keen on the dinner menu, but the breakfast was very good. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The room was ok, but, as with most hotels, there was only one chair so we had to take it in turns to sit comfortably and watch the TV in the evenings.

Our room was clean, comfortable and had a wonderful view of the Cathedral. Everything that we wanted to see was within an easy walking distance of the hotel. We went out for our evening meal and on our return we found a wedding reception in full swing. The Website for the hotel does say that they cater for weddings, however, what we were not expecting, was a very loud disco that went on until midnight. I would advise that if anyone is considering booking this hotel, check that there is not a wedding /wedding reception being held there!

My sister and I love coming to the Lincoln Hotel and have stayed over the course of many years. This time our visit was especially good, largely in part because the staff on Reception were so courteous, welcoming and efficient. They really went the extra mile for us, enabling my sister, who has mobility issues, to move around the hotel stress-free. They were truly amazing. Our room was lovely, comfortable and very clean, as always. And we were also very impressed by our evening meal in the restaurant: delicious food, attractively presented, at a very reasonable price. All in all, a great stay at a very welcoming hotel. Thank you to all the staff who made this stay so enjoyable. We’ll be back for another visit soon!
