Staff very friendly and helpful, super breakfast, we didn't park a car but looked ok, the room was clean but the air conditioning wasn't up to the standard I expected intact it didn't cool the room at all There was tea and coffee making facilities with biscuits however I thought a small mini drinks fridge would have been nice to keep water and pop cool

We were given a room with twin beds and when we asked for that to be changed it couldn't be despite that being our booking. The beds were horrifically uncomfortable and I could feel the springs in the mattress. We didn't opt for breakfast at 13 GBP each and instead had a fantastic breakfast a few doors down for 7GBP for both of us! THe location is good and it is dog friendly (we didn't have a dog with us) and seemed well set up for that.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel was very convenient for walking into Lincoln and shopping, with many and varied pubs, bars and restaurants within a short distance, but driving was a different matter. Luckily we managed to find a space in the Hotel car park every night - it seemed to fill up quite early - and didn't need to pay the extra to use the NCP down the street, so that was good! On the other hand, and this is no reflection on the Hotel, we seemed to find ourselves stuck in traffic, stuck in one-way systems, stuck on the opposite side of the city every time we tried to leave or return to our base. Lincoln isn't for driving in!
