Won't be retuning!

Check in process & friendliness of staff at check in was great. Didn't feel comfortable using the lift - was waiting for Frankenstein to make an appearance! Room desperate for an upgrade and a good clean, cobwebs, built up grim in corners of table/worktops, whole room felt grubby. Bathroom was the same in need of a refurb. Stayed for our daughters graduation & it put a bit of a dampner on the day, daughter had one of the larger rooms and it was the same, only bonus was she had a good view of the cathedral. Neither rooms were cheap, I'd say extremely over priced for what we got. On a plus the breakfast was good.

Could be better

Hotel is in a good location. A bit dated and needs some TLC. It was clean and the staff were friendly. However, the breakfast was not so good and waste of money. All self service. No offer of cooked egg selection e.g. poached and no smoked salmon as advertised on the menu. Didn’t like the push pots for tea and coffee. Once seated not a single member of staff spoke to us.

The hotel was a little tired. it was in an excellent position and has a lot going for it and it could be better. Staff generally good, service in restaurant could be better. drinks in restaurant after the meal were slow and had to find someone to serve customers. we would be happy to come again. .

Hotel is in a convenient central position in Lincoln, and benefits from excellent parking at £7.50/day (I think per day, but could be per stay). Buffet breakfast was the highlight, well cooked, plenty of choice and with additional options of items like eggs Benedict cooked to order if wanted. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Downside for us was the heat of the bedroom - unfortunately we were there on a very hot weekend - the room was sweltering with no fan or aircon, leading to a very poor night’s sleep. Corridors to the rooms really need a refurb and had a strange smell. Otherwise a good stay - beds were comfortable with good quality linen (though pillows hard, as they so often are in hotels) and bathroom was clean.

Great location, near cathedral and castle etc. Totally suited our requirements. Having two reception areas is confusing. Seemed odd having to pay for hotel car parking. Throw away body wash rather than refillables suggests that sustainability is not a consideration.

I was hoping for a 60s retro experience, but some major spending needs to be done to make this hotel more attractive - even just pictures in the rooms. I would return it to the car park at the front and a walled garden at teh back. The astro-turf is awful. Why not open the original reception instead of coming in the trades entrance? Missing a trick I felt.

All staff I encountered where exceptionally friendly and helpful with good knowledge of local area. Lovely choices of full hot and cold buffet breakfast. Fantastic evening meals in the restaurant, though limited choice if staying more than two nights. Amazing location just a few hundred yards from the Cathedral and Castle at a reasonable price. Very clean comfortable room overlooking the Cathedral with everything you need. Best sleep ever! Definitely returning.
