The bed & Breakfast atmosphere was excellent. The rooms were clean, secured 24/7, including parking. And, the authentic Welsh breakfast was wonderful. Additionally, staff went out of their way to notify, pack and ship a computer tablet that we left behind. The manager Carl was professional, competent and just plain nice! All in all, a quality experience worthy of a repeat visit.

Ok stay

The room was comfortable but for what we paid, and I understand that the prices were bumped up for the rugby, there were long, dark hairs on the bathroom tiles and at the end of the bath, no shelf to put bottles on in the shower and the loo leaked. The fan in the room is covered in dust on the blade and the casing. Breakfast was great but the two young waitresses maybe need to keep the chatting to a minimum when guests can overhear

Great location! Room was comfortable and nicely done; the bathroom lacked stable shelf space but was otherwise just fine. Breakfast is well done (and crowded on the weekend!) and the free off street parking is a huge plus!

Lincoln House hotel is a well located property in Cardiff. It's walking distance to Bute Park, the castle, and central shopping and dining area. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast, included in room rate, is good. The rooms are spacious, but decor is tired and needs updating. Towels are thin, no robes provided, paint is peeling, corners are dusty. Expedia rates are significantly higher than if booked directly with hotel.

Lovely Traditional B&B

Lovely traditional B&B. with really friendly staff that went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Great location for park walks and city centre. On site car park was a bonus. Definitely Lincoln House is a place we look forward to staying next time.
