Charlotte House, hotel in Lincoln

Beautiful 1930's Art Deco building directly opposite Lincoln Castle and only a few minutes' walk from the Cathedral and historic Bailgate, with its selection of independent shops and restaurants.

Great location. Room was roomy but a little bright as we only had venitions and there was a light right outside. Breakfast was just what we wanted. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Castle Hotel & Apartments, hotel in Lincoln

Situated next to the Lincoln Castle, the Grade II Listed Hotel offers individually styled rooms including Wi-Fi and luxury private bathrooms.

I made a mix up whilst booking, the owner of the hotel telephoned me in person the next day to reassure me dates could be changed and not to panic. She even very kindly threw in a room upgrade. The Customer Service was excellent and the hotel and location were fab too, as was the big breakfast!

The White Hart Hotel Lincoln, hotel in Lincoln

Situated in the heart of Lincoln’s historical quarter, The White Hart Hotel Lincoln offers accommodation with a restaurant, a bar and a terrace within the shadows of the Cathedral.

Fantastic location between the Castle and the Cathedral. The hotel is currently being renovated to a high standard and it is not the finished article yet. The "cosy double" was indeed very small but the bathroom and shower were really nice. All the staff were lovely and the breakfast plentiful and cooked to order. Also liked the cocktail bar which was very stylish.

Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Lincoln

Less than a mile from Lincoln centre, this Holiday Inn Express offers a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi and an inclusive buffet breakfast.

Hotel closer to Railway Station than I thought especially as I walked, no need for a Taxi. Close to City centre with a nice leisurely stroll. Breakfast was good but Jam or Marmalade would have been a bonus [didn't appear to be any and must admit didn't ask]. Room was basic but ample and clean/comfortable and quiet although next to main road.

FAQs about hotels in Lincoln








The Glory of Medieval England

Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.

Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.

This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.

Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.

Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

    Love it all, from the shopping on the high street, the wonderful new Corn Exchange area and on up steep hill to the cathedral/castle quarter. We would recommend the free walking tours, we did the Roman history one and Matt our guide was brilliant, showing us remnants of the roman walls and giving us a visual idea of how things were. There are plenty of pubs and bars to choose from but we particularly loved the Magna Carta, which had a brilliant band playing on the night we went in. Lincoln is brilliant and I love it!

    Lincoln a smallish city crammed with character Packed with history Full of great bars and eateries makes for a great tourist weekend Steep walks a plenty but you can use busses to get to the top of the hills and walk down if your not to fit If you like wandering around ancient streets and quirky shops this is a good place to go

    History, shopping, and a great big hill! Well worth the effort walking up Steep Hill to get the inspirational Cathedral atop; plus there are plenty of boutique shops to pop in on the way for a rest. As a bonus for the kids is that there's a good ice-cream parlour at the bottom and a local fudge shop almost at the top!

    We liked the numerous places to eat. We enjoyed visiting inside the Castle, the walk around the Castle walls, and seeing the Magna Carta. The steep walk was an enjoyable bit of exercise. We were disappointed at the cost of and limited access to the Cathedral, I really expected to be able to enjoy and discover more of its splendour.

    Having been at school in Lincoln and lived there until the middle 1980s I was not expecting the wonderful improvement that has occurred - largely I suspect as a result of the relatively new university being established there. The vibrancy of both the city and the ancient exhibits (Norman Castle and Cathedral; Roman remains; Museums and Library all seemed to be as good as anywhere I’ve been and the buzz about the City was evident in that I think I detected only one shop that did not appear to be either occupied or under change for a new occupier - in stark contrast to Salisbury that I visited last year. In particular, Brayford Pool - a Roman artificial lake/pool as a terminus on the navigable River Witham - has been transformed as the main focus of Lincoln University and is buzzing with not only student life but a waterside complex of both national and local restaurants, hotels (Hilton etc) and marinas. I only stayed for 3 days as I thought, from memory, that I could just revisit my old haunts but I intend to come back for a much longer stay.

    The old parts around the Cathedral are stunning, with some lovely artisan shops. Plenty of places to eat. The Cornhill quarter is being revamped and will be pleasant. The High Street into the City is rough and I wouldn't walk it after dark. The International Bomber Command Centre is stunning and a must for anyone interested in WW2 history or wishing to remember someone. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact we met many helpful and informative people around the city.

    Super friendly and helpful reception. Excellent customer service in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The treacle sponge was the biggest we had ever seen and is a big favorite of ours! They went above and beyond to make our experience amazing for both myself and my children. The room was spacious with everything you would typically expect and need in a hotel room. The sweeping grand staircase decorated with flowers leading up to the rooms was a wonderful sight, my daughter felt like a princess walking up them.

    I loved the location - set back behind the main road so it was very quiet. The rooms have been tastefully decorated and there’s have thought of everything you could need whilst there. My son used the sofa bed and it was surprisingly really comfy. The main bed was also very comfy. Parking was directly outside which made it easy … and it was walkable into Lincoln if we didn’t want to use the car. All in all it was a great stay!

    Room cold old type air con that smelt when first turned on. Windows dirty/room dusty. Room old and tired. Bathroom spot light not working/big dints in the bath loo didn’t flush very well. Waited over 45mins for food. Meal for 4 my food came out and must have been under the heat lamp for a long while. The hotel was generally ok and in the perfect location just didn’t live up to the website information

    This lovely property is in an ideal location to explore Lincoln and enjoy the sites of the city. If you have car it’s easy to access and parking is convenient. We enjoyed the privacy and it felt quite relaxing having an outdoor space with a whole place to ourselves. It is well appointed, quiet and comfortable. We will absolutely stay here when we return to Lincoln.

    I loved how cozy and clean the room was. It has even a small fridge in the room. I travel a lot and even some big hotels don't have that. The location is perfect, very close to the city centre. I used to live in Lincoln and I didn't know this beautiful house before. I would recommend it 100% and I would stay there if I need a place to stay when I come back again.

    the hotel itself is a lovely property. I stayed at this hotel for work reasons. my first night was in a single room with its own bathroom. the room was tiny but it served the purpose. the 2nd and 3rd night was booked after my first-night stay and I was allocated a different room, which was huge with a double bed, without a private bathroom which was not great.

    All of the staff at the hotel and restaurant were wonderful, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and so was our dinner, which we had included in the room rate. There was a lovely outdoor terrace for afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks. The hotel was located in a pretty village and was only a short drive from Lincoln city centre.

    Fantastic hotel right in the heart of Lincoln. A stones throw from the cathedral and a short walk to the many unique shops, bars and eateries. The hotel itself is beautiful with some features inside preserved from its past life as a church...mostly the windows which are stunning. We would definitely stay again.

    I have stayed multiple times at Damon's as I travel to Lincoln regularly on business. The facilities are consistently good and you get what you expect every time. It is not a luxury hotel by any means but is way better than the alternatives in the vicinity - Ibis and Windmill.
