The hotel offered a beautiful view of the castle straight ahead and the staff were extremely helpful, although the room felt a bit claustrophobic and could use some maintenance. It was sold as deluxe but matched typical chain hotel rooms. The service was superb, especially for guests visiting the Antiques Fair on Lincoln Showground, covering all necessary tasks with a warm and friendly approach. The location was prime for exploring the cathedral and castle area, accessible easily on foot. The dining experience varied from delicious to disappointing, but overall good.

The hotel offers a beautiful view of the Cathedral, which is within walking distance. The rooms were clean, nicely decorated, and some had a view of the cathedral towers. The restaurant provided very good meals with a lovely wine list, and the service was exceptionally friendly, though there was occasional noise from the room above. Overall, a pleasant stay with a charming atmosphere.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with clean and comfortable rooms but faces challenges with room temperature control. The service provided is friendly but can be slow at times. The location is fantastic for exploring the Castle and Cathedral, although the dining options may not meet expectations. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement.
Rooms
7.0
The room, although sold as deluxe, was not larger or more luxurious than standard chain hotel rooms. It was quite warm and challenging to cool, despite having a provided fan. If necessary, reception can adjust the centrally controlled heating for better comfort. I negotiated a £15 extra charge for a room that was too warm, but likely could have been resolved with a simple request.
Service
6.0
The staff was truly pleasant, friendly, and helpful with any questions we had, but encountered delays as they needed a key to set up services late at night after our return. When busy, service may be slower, and check-out lacked attentiveness to guest experience.
Location

The hotel's location was superb, only a short walk from the cathedral at the top of the steep hill and close to historic pubs like the Duke William and the Wig and Mitre. Additionally, it offers easy access to the Castle and Cathedral in the old town of Lincoln, with the added convenience of a free car park.
