The Holiday inn, Brayford along the canal, wasn’t far to walk the steep inclement to the cathedral, castle or to little shops. Lincoln is a beautiful place to visit, full of historical and character buildings, mixed with new. The people are very nice and helpful here.

Easy parking, friendly receptionist, She noted we came as a family and gave us interconnecting rooms without having to be asked, Extra Brownie points. The rooms were large and clean with excellent air conditioning. Good Continental breakfast at a reasonable price. The hotel is located in a good location and is reasonably priced. As a result I strongly recommend it.

Located in Brayford Pool, where the old port wharf has been redeveloped like other cities (Gloucester etc) in has a car park and big multistorey next door as well.£10.40 for 24 hrs. Excellent position for relaxed dining and drinking on terraces/outdoors. Short walk to main High St shops. A significant climb up to the elevated section of the city with cafes,shops and the Cathedral and Castle. Spacious room, but a little expensive. Excellent air conditioning on hottest day of year . Excellent breakfast. Major disappointed was the bar staff's refusal to start up the coffee machine at 23.06 hrs for 2 cappuccinos at the "24 hr bar ". We did have a coffee machine in our room. We'd certainly stay there again.

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.
