we stayed in a twin room num 4. it was delightful. the beds were comfy… the pillows fluffy. a lovely bathroom with a good shower. We had an evening meal and the food was delicious. Real Ale for ones who like that and decent wine. the breakfast was yummy too. I can’t fault the staff… friendly..smiley and very helpful. They took our cases upstairs for us and brought them down again when we left. The location is perfect too, near the cathedral and the castle, with a 15 minute downhill walk into town with lots of quaint shops to browse on the way.

Damon's hotel exceeded our expectations on every level. The room was excellent, with plenty of space and a comfortable bed. Whilst we didn't eat at the accompanying restaurant, we did use the bar, which, like the hotel, was excellent value for money. We will stay here again, and we will make more use of the onsite facilities.

The location was fantastic, right in the centre of Lincoln and a stones throw from the Cathedral. The room we had was enormous with a fantastic four poster bed and a seperate lounge and a large bathroom with a bath and a shower. Ad to this the view across to the castle and we were very impressed.

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.

An interesting and beautiful city which in recent years has...

An interesting and beautiful city which in recent years has become more aware of it's visitor potential, a near unique setting with the castle and cathedral near each other at the top of an attractive (or challenging?) hill, with more modern developments downhill. Lots of history, plenty of cafes and restaurants, also numerous good pubs many of which are historic and independant. I may be biased, I was born there but now live elsewhere, but yes, it's a great little city.

The castle is a wonder, so much to see and learn about.

The castle is a wonder, so much to see and learn about. The walk around the castle walls especially give you a great view of the city. You could look around the prison cells and watch videos of people who were imprisoned there. Also the Magna Carta was on view. A very interesting place to visit and to walk around the grounds. The cathedral is also a lovely place to look around. Steep Hill has some quaint shops and places to buy afternoon tea and many other foods. Beware its a long steep walk on the way back up! We only had a day there but enjoyed every moment.

Cathedral and castle are both very well worth a lengthy visit. Some really interesting old streets in the upper town are really interesting, but on very steep slopes. The walking tour which starts from near the cathedral and lasts for about 90 minutes is very interesting and excellent value. The waterfront in the lower town is also very pleasant.

The cathedral dominates the town and rightly so.

The cathedral dominates the town and rightly so. It is beautiful. Definitely book for the roof tour, it is fascinating. I also recommend the open top bus tour. Lots of information about the town's history. Lots of lovely pubs too. Thailand No1 is a great restaurant Lion and snake is a good pub for food and socialising. Widow Cullens well is a quiet pub on Steep Hill, a tech free pub with board games and amazing food.

Lots of shops and places to eat and drink.

Lots of shops and places to eat and drink. A lot of the bars do get very busy as obviously a uni town so best to book to avoid disappointment with places to eat. There is a nice little area that overlooks the river that gets very busy in summer time.

The staff are pleasant and were helpful when our room wasn't cleaned (due to staff shortages). We would describe Woodcocks as a good budget hotel offering value for money. The rooms are very similar in style to the Travel Inn chain. There is a family pub adjacent to the hotel; we didn't eat there as the menu was limited in terms of healthy vegan options. The location is good being a 20 minute drive (traffic permitting) of Lincoln City Centre. Also, good for the A46.

Location was great, very close to the Cathedral and at the top of Steep Hill, the historic part of town. There is an open top bus tour of Lincoln that goes to International Bomber Command and you can get on and off the bus. The bus starts its tour at the front of the Cathedral. The hotel was very pleasant and staff very friendly and helpful.
