Enjoyable stay from start to finish. Staff from reception to bar staff to breakfast staff very helpful and friendly! Room was very comfortable and the view was to die for!!!
Great position opposite the Cathedral, the Hotel room was looking dated although comfortable. The breakfast was a buffet style and offered a good selection.

We really enjoyed our short stay at The Lincoln- near to historic facilities and some nice outdoor places to eat at in the evening. Also a good balance of cultural shops.
Staff were friendly and accommodating plus respectful when addressing patrons- a lovely stress free environment in an established part of olde Lincoln. No complaints other than for the horrid weather !
