I had a good stay at the Castle Hotel. Lovely little hotel, super comfy bed and gorgeous bed linen. The room was spotless and generous tea and coffee making facilities. Nice bathroom products. No A/C as it's a beautiful old building, but that was fine as was able to open windows and control the radiator. I didn't have a cooked breakfast but buffet options were fine and the other guests seemed to be enjoying their cooked food. I will stay again, thank you.

The breakfast was good but, need to be hotter. Staffs were excellent, good quality service. We did not experience any evening meals unfortunately, we arrived Sunday and stays till Wednesday morning. The hotel only serves dinners from Wednesday evening to Saturday 😟 We weren’t aware until we made the booking. We were also we’re not aware of any extra parking space at the back of the hotel? I has messaged the hotel about parking earlier but was told to park at Westgate Carpark! Only after we had arrived and booked in, the receptionist told us we could park at the back 😟 having already paid £10.50 for overnight parking.

I've stayed here on many occasions when working and it was one of my favourite hotels then. Now I've retired and it was the obvious choice when visiting Lincoln with my wife. There's nothing wrong with the Castle hotel and if you'd never been there before you wouldn't notice anything at all but it's not the place it once was. There are far fewer staff around so check in, breakfast etc takes longer than it did. The quality of the breakfast whilst better than you'll get in many other hotels is again, not what it was. The biggest frustration was breakfast which usually involved repeated requests for more milk, butter or toast when more alert staff would notice these were needed. On our third and last morning there was a change of staff and it was a much better experience: The waitress/receptionist was lovely and chatty and the food arrived in a quarter of the time it had previously. Other than these minor gripes, the stay was lovely. It would be hard to find a better location in Lincoln. The room was clean, the bed comfy and the shower hot. Everything I need. I get that margins are getting squeezed and that good staff are hard to find but fixing these little things are what makes a hotel stand out from the crowd. I hope The Castle returns to its former glory soon.

My room overlooking the castle walls was spotless. However, the furnishings and decor were a little exhausted looking there and in public areas. The vegetarian breakfast was outstanding. Good quality ingredients and piping hot.

Best Hotel Stay for Ages!

Very impressed by all on offer. Room booked, first class value. Evening meal excellent As was breakfast. Have not had such attentive and prompt restaurant service "for many a year"! Hotel situation close to cathedral and castle. The reason for visit. Also close to long term parking as hotel does not have places for cars.
