Stayed with my husband on 6th-8th March 2023 while in the area visiting family. I'll start with the good. You couldn't get a better location in Lincoln, the hotel is right opposite Lincoln Cathedral which is beautiful and definitely worth visiting. The Castle is a 5 min walk away and is a must! The Victorian Prison and the Medieval Wall Walk at the Castle are also a must and its a pleasant and interesting way to spend a morning or afternoon. So, five stars for the great location. The staff at the hotel are all pleasant and try hard, and the evening food was very nice and we can recommend eating here in the evening. Now for the bad. On arrival we were booked in for 6th to 8th May, so not a great start. OK so it's early March and the weather is still extremely cold however, the hotel was freezing cold especially in the bar and restaurant area. The first evening I sat with my coat over my lap whilst eating our evening meal to keep warm. I wasn't the only person wearing their coat in the bar area. The room was OK, it looked more tired and worn than the online photo's but I guess that's not unusual. The room it's self was freezing cold, it had one radiator which did work and one old electric wall convection heater that chucked out cold air. We had a view of the cathedral which was stunning but if you want an early night or a lie in in the morning do not book a room with a cathedral view - the bells chime every 15 minutes from 7am to 11pm, I kid you not! But you do get used to it. The main light in our room had a cheap paper white lampshade on it that probably cost £1 from Wilkinson, I think they could have done a bit better than that. The toilet was also not clean on arrival, which is disgusting 😬 My husband went to have a shower and the water was freezing cold, which is unacceptable. The breakfast, well for £14 I wouldn't bother. It was a buffet breakfast, the hot food was cold and the fried eggs were like rubber. There was no choice of coffee and just a jug to help yourself from. Juice consisted of orange or apple and was not cold and left in a jug on the side at room temperature. There is room for lots of improvement where the breakfast is concerned and they would do better to cook fresh to order, which also prevents any waste. We were actually quite pleased to leave although Lincoln is a very pretty city and I would recommend visiting just don't stay at this hotel as it needs lots of improvement.
