Ideal location with marvellous views of the cathedral. Parking easy. The hotel itself tired and reminiscent of previous faded 1980s glories. Needs refurbishment. The staff though truly excellent and that was a redeeming feature

The room was lovely, clean, quiet and spacious. Very comfortable too! Staff were always friendly and helpful - making access available for my mobility scooter on the same level as our room was so helpful and kind! Greatly appreciated. The facilities and food were great in all respects, we had breakfast, dinner and bar snacks. Always overlooking the beautiful Lincoln cathedral, such a treat. All the staff played their part and were very friendly and helpful even when super busy.
