Loverly place

Very pleasant hotel in the old part of Lincoln. Very near the castle and cathedral. Very clean rooms, and lovely breakfasts. We didn't try their restuarant as so many others to choose from in Lincoln. More...

We stayed in the Junior Suite (Tennyson) and it was worth paying that little extra. It was a good size with lovely views of the castle across the road. The room was quiet, which as a light sleeper was a bonus, and the bed very comfortable. The room is at the top of the building so if you are not good with stairs this may not be the room for you. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was excellent. Breakfast was delicious with a good selection of options. There is free parking but the car park is quite tight. Staff were friendly and helpful and the greeting on arrival very warm. Location is perfect. Just a short walk to the Cathedral, Castle and local restaurants and pubs. The hotel is situated near to the top of Steep Hill. A lovely old street with many boutique shops.but as the name suggests it's a bit of a climb back to the top. I suggest a little tipple before the return climb lol. The hotel is a very lovely place to stay and I'd highly recommend it. More...

lives up to its 3 star with rooms comfortable and clean.||ideal situation and parking excellent.||Our one disappointment was the restaurant. it did not live up to its reputation and we should have eaten elsewhere. There was little atmosphere and the salmon, prawn and scallop bouillabaisse was a huge disappointment. My wife mentioned this to our waitress but the chef never appeared to discuss the matter. Maybe we caught him on a "bad night". despite this we would return to the hotel but would eat elsewhere. the breakfast was quite good.Yes a nice stay but a shame about the dining experience. More...

Super site between Castle and Cathedral, and at top of Steep Hill. There is a bus stop for the “Steep Hill Shuttle”, aka Walk and Ride, just across Westgate from the hotel. Walk down the hill and get the bus back. Great pubs and restaurants in Bailgate, just around the corner. We stayed for three nights in “Franklin” on second floor (no lift!) with windows on two sides, with views to castle walls and cathedral (when the tree blocking the view to the cathedral loses its leaves). Heating failed on day we arrived, but electric heaters provided until system repaired the following day. These things happen, and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Reform restaurant closed on Tuesday, but excellent suggestions for nearby restaurants. Lovely food in Reform on the next two nights, and the 2 or 3 course set dinner option on Wednesdays and Thursdays which includes a bottle of excellent wine is incredible value. We were able to park for free in the hotel car park. We would stay here again, it was ideal. More...

Very nice traditional hotel in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter of Lincoln. We had a deluxe room in the main building which had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel has its own restaurant which doubles up as the breakfast room and although we didn't dine there, if the high quality of the delicious breakfast is anything to go by, an evening meal would be well worth trying. It also has a bar which was an additional advantage. The staff were without exception very friendly, cheerful, helpful and efficient. There is no lift which might be an obstacle for some guests but there are some ground floor rooms available and on arrival our cases were taken up to our room for us which was wonderful. Another big bonus is that it has its own car park (free for guests) and there is a pubic car park almost opposite the hotel. Good value for money. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay! More...

We have visited this hotel a few times and found it to be very comfortable. The staff are very nice and there is plenty of variety with the breakfasts. We also feel that room prices are very fair considering you are in very close proximity to the castle and the cathedral. Thank you for a lovely stay. More...

We stayed for one night in a VERY rainy Lincoln.||The weather was so bad that the highlight of our trip was the Castle Hotel which is centrally situated at the top of the hill near the castle and the cathedral. |The hotel has modern nicely decorated and reasonably spacious rooms and is staffed by very pleasant polite and considerate people.|In particular our dinner at the hotel restaurant was a great pleasure and the food was well presented inventive and delicious.|One of the reasons for our visit was to see a football match at Lincoln City which was, due to the appalling weather postponed and so a return trip is required and we shall look no further than the Castle Hotel !

We stayed here for 2 nights last weekend. We are 2 adults & 1 child and had the junior suite at the top of the hotel (Tennyson suite). It was a lovely sized room with great views and a spacious bathroom. ||||We ate in the hotel on Sat night and the food was absolutely delicious, the puddings were superb. The hotel doesn't serve food on a Sunday evening so we were recommended a tapas restaurant just around the corner which was also fabulous (Ole Ole).||||Breakfasts were nice but a little on the cool side, as was the dining room.||||The only downside for me was the lack of atmosphere in the hotel, the bar is quite cold as it leads straight outside so the door is constantly opening and there was hardly anyone in there (maybe because it was a bit out of season).

This hotel is in a prime location for exploring the area around the cathedral and castle.||And you can catch the tour bus from a stop just outside the hotel. ||Staff at The Castle were friendly and helpful. ||Our only criticism is that the bathroom in our deluxe room could do with some attention. The bath tub was a little unsightly with various chips and marks, the toilet roll holder was covered in rust spots and some of the sealing around the bath and loo needs sprucing up. More...

My husband and I stayed here overnight in a suite right at the top of the hotel, considering the room has lots of roof beams and open brick detail and lots of opportunity for dust, it was clean and well maintained, as was the bathroom which was lovely. There were a couple of minor housekeeping things, (we are vey picky) but nothing we felt worth complaining about, and a safe in the room for valuables would have been nice. The breakfast was lovely, well cooked and fresh and the staff were professional and friendly.|Parking is available, but tight if you have a large car, there is however, a large public car park across the road. |All in all, we enjoyed our stay, would visit here again and think the hotel and breakfast was value for money.

Only stayed for 1 night as a bit of a birthday surprise for the wife and wasn't disappointed at all. A very well presented hotel and room (Franklin room) in a nice location. Stayed on a 'midweek bed, breakfast and evening meal' deal. Very pleasant staff, a small but lovely restaurant which served some excellent food, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly emjoyed our two-day visit to Lincoln about which we knew very little beforehand. Despite the poor weather we managed visits to the castle with an interesting guide, a very informative tourist on/off bus ride round the city and several hours in the magnificent cathedral. There were lots of places to eat - we chose an excellent Thai restaurant on Bailgate - but would have chosen The Castles own restaurant if we had been staying a second night. More...

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon. It is situated at the top of Steep Hill next to the castle and accessible by road. The hotel has a small private car park in which we were lucky to get a space, any later and we would have probably been disappointed, although I am sure there is public parking nearby.||The location is perfect for exploring the historic centre of the city and is a beautifully restored old building which now has a “boutique “ feel. Our room was small but well presented. The bar and outside seating area are both attractive and a lovely spot to relax.||My only small gripe would be that on arrival at 18.55 for 19.00 in the restaurant for dinner the young waitress informed us that we were early and therefore would not show us to our table. This was pedantic as we did not wish to go to the bar for five minutes. Surely we could have been seated and ordered our drinks from the table. In the event we wandered around for five minutes and then returned to be seated. Also, the meal we would only describe as average.||However, overall a pleasant stay. More...

Stayed at hotel for one night to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Managed to park on the hotel car park which was great. Received a warm and friendly welcome. We were early so our room wasn't quite ready. The hotel is in a fantastic location, in the old quarter opposite the castle. The room was spotlessly clean, cosy and nicely decorated. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast was good. The menu didn't offer any vegetarian or vegan options, so we had to ask. Also they ran out of coissants and didn't replenish, so my husband was a little disappointed. He's quite partial to a coissant. Would definitely stay there again. More...

Stayed there on what turned out to be the hottest August Bank Hotel for years and unfortunately our experience was somewhat tainted by the lack of air conditioning and an extremely noisy fan. Having said that - it is a great location right next to the Castle and the Cathedral. Limited parking but we were lucky and parked right outside the front door. There is a public car park a short walk away. Rooms a little on the small side but well kept and very clean. Bathroom could do with some shelving to stand things on. but a great shower. The big plus was the delightful lady on reception who couldn't have been more helpful. Had drinks in a small beer garden. Restaurant was closed that evening but plenty of other places to eat in the area. More...
