We have stayed in various hotels in Lincoln and this was by far the best. Although we only stayed 1 night, we were impressed. The location is excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The location of the restaurant where breakfast was served was stuuning as it overlooked the Brayford. Again, all staff were excellent as was the buffet breakfast and the variety of food available. We will definitely return. Thank-you for a great stay.

We stayed for one night to meet friends on the waterfront. Perfect location for the eateries there and easy access to the high street too. Parking is a little limited at peak times but there’s a multi storey next door. Staff were really pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was really good too with lots of choice, although the coffee wasn’t great. The room was spacious and clean and perfect for what we needed it for. Will stay again if we’re in the area.
