This is my second stay at this hotel, and hopefully not the last! The rooms were spotless, facilities are great, top spec bathroom etc etc. The staff are friendly and informative, and to top it all you get breakfast included! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this gorgeous hotel to anyone travelling to Lincoln.

Superbly located property if you want to visit the castle and Cathedral. Hotel used to be the nurses quarters of a psychiatric hospital so the rooms are quite big for a hotel. Mine was practically a suite. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but I liked it and thought the mattress and pillow were extremely comfortable. The continental breakfast was ample, and the staff was quite nice. I would stay here again if I come back to Lincoln and would recommend it.

I was really looking forward to staying here, on arrival the lounge area looked lovely and i was looking forward to seeing the room. That was where the stay was different, the room was in need of updating and the bed a new mattress. Bits were missing of furniture and windows broke. We did sleep one night and the next day we left. We were given a refund for the second night and the staff were very understanding. They had said that they were closing the hotel to renovate the rooms in December. All i can say is that once the room we stayed in has been redecorated it will be a nice place to stay but for now make sure you don’t stay in room 8.

Could be a gem but...

Nice 4 poster on room6, very large and well equipped room bathroom and seperate tv lounge. Wooden bed frame creaked loudly which could wake others. No bar on a Friday night even though listed. Told only open for events - remove from website then. Breakfast - fresh cooked pastries were very underdone - had to bin most. Hotel could be a gem but needs investment and proper management.

We paid for a dulux room overlooking the castle. The room we were given had a large damp patch on ceiling and wall, smelt damp, the bath had a faulty plug and the hot tap came off in my hand. Staff were great and gave us another room but could only offer a standard room with no bath or view. The mattress wasnt comfortable. The room backed onto function room in use so we wasnt able to get to sleep until the function had ended. The hotel is in a beautiful building in a perfect location it just needs tlc

Ok stay.

The staff at Charlotte House were very friendly although couldn't find anyone at checkout to discuss our stay with. The hotel is in a great location for Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral which were a short walk away. We had a very spacious room which was a little dated. Unfortunately there were used sugar packets on the tea and coffee stand, the shower gel was half used in the bathroom too and the shower floor hadn't been cleaned properly. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I'd ever slept on. We could feel the springs in our back and would have probably had a more comfortable sleep on the floor. I know we weren't the only people to have an uncomfortable bed either as spoke to another couple at breakfast who had experienced the same. Such a shame as the hotel has so much potential with it's great location.

Advert shows best room. Reality was underwhelming.

Missing bedside lamp - had to use the one from the desk. Given a fan/heater unit (sort of aircon) but it didn't work. So, had to have windows open. Then kept awake by staff of bar across the courtyard talking loudly after closing. Furniture dated - but does match the general feel place. Excellent breakfast.
