This hotel is in a great location for exploring Lincoln and the staff are very welcoming. The newly refurbished bedrooms are very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the morning breakfast staff were very helpful. More

Angela, Thank you kindly for your positive review. After spending nearly the last year refurbishing the whole hotel it is nice to see the efforts we have made are delivering to our guests. I do understand the charging for car parking may seem unfair, but due to limited spaces throughout Lincoln and the abuse of our facilities it has become... More

My stay at the HI Lincoln at the end of January was much improved from the my last experience with a leaving Manager, a tired set of bedrooms, food that was basically inedible and some odd individuals. Check in was good; the lady behind the desk was very efficient, gave me the codes for the car park. She knew I... More

Free parking for hotel guests and right in the centre of the commercial area i.e not on top of hill. Easy walking to all the restaurants and pubs etc. The cathedral is at the top of a very steep hill but there is some parking there or you can get a bus and walk back down. There was a problem...

We have just spent the weekend at the Holiday Inn Lincoln on the Brayfprd side. We arrived earlier than we should have but the friendly reception staff told us are rooms where ready which was great. This hotel is over 20 years old now and has just had a massive Hilton hotel build next door to it. With this in... More

This is a very clean hotel, really convenient for the city centre shopping and sightseeing. The private car park is next to the hotel and has a very reasonable £5 per night charge, payable on checkout. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful, and happily ordered us a cab to get to the wedding we were going to in Washingborough.... More

Nice location, minutes from the city center by foot. Family rooms are reasonable size with two double beds. Our room over-looked the waters edge. To be fair, our room (so presumably the others too) could do with updating and a new coat of paint.Bathrooms are always give-aways. Just checking the condition of sealant around baths and tile condition usually give... More
