    If you are easily disturbed by noise then ask for for a room not facing the cathedral . We were in room 123 . The noise from the air conditioning units outside the rooms windows was loud and very annoying.

    The staff were friendly and keen to help. The table service in the bar was excellent. And the the bar food was superb. The bed in room 123 was large and comfortable also.

    Bathroom was a bit ricketty / dated. Building work going on around us - builders on scaffolding outside our window at 7.30 am. but a short-term problem. Car park unavailable - we were not informed until we arrived. Nearby public car park was fine but added £19 to our 2 day stay.

    Lovely old hotel just near the cathedral and great shopping. Staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. Good breakfast options. Comfortable.

    Check in and check out approach. Receptionist was counting a lot of cash whilst I waited at the desk. It was a room with one person. Awkward queue outside the room like waiting for the headmaster. Unnecessary admin process at check out. Had to wait for the couple and child to finish writing a letter for the receptionist which was nothing to do with checking in or out. Waited half an hour to actually leave the hotel.

    Lots of attention to detail. None of the shoddy decor often found in hotels. Felt very grand. Wanted for nothing as part of the actual stay.

    A very comfortable hotel in a good location with friendly staff.

    The room we were originally given was really quite poor, small and with scaffolding covering the window and a very depressing outlook. It also had a connecting door to another room, which we know from bitter experience is not a good idea and we certainly had no need of one, We went straight down to Reception and within minutes were given a vastly superior room. The hotel was not full so I'm not sure why it couldn't have been given in the first place.

    It was lovely to see the renovation of the hotel as we had stayed there last year and the decor etc. was now really super. The room we were eventually given was absolutely lovely, spacious, clean and with excellent facilities. The bar area was great and the staff attentive and friendly, it had a very good atmosphere to sit and have a drink and the range of cocktails was excellent. The reception staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient as were staff in the breakfast room. Breakfast was tasty although I would really have expected some fresh fruit on the buffet part.

    Nice to be back after the refurbishments.

    A few "teething problems" (e.g. no guest information in the room, TV not yet connected to a signal) but nothing that wasn't sorted out by reception. The main downside for us was the car park no longer being in use. It was a big attraction of the White Hart, being able to park right next to the hotel. But we did manage to find a parking spot not too far away (not always easy in Lincoln) and the concierge was very helpful.

    Newly refurbished - to a very high standard. Lovely cocktail bar with friendly staff and a comfortable room with cathedral view. Nice breakfast too (though it seemed to take a while to come).

    No free parking available but not sure if this is due to ongoing renovation? Council parking payable nearby which is around £20 for a 48 hr stay.

    Excellent location, great atmosphere in bar during day/evening - clearly popular with locals. Second stay this year and just as good both times. Didn’t feel corporate, location fantastic, lovely atmosphere, good breakfast with quality ingredients and table service. Price was right. Friendly staff. The hotel feels loved.

    The hotel is a labyrinth of small corridors with lots of doors, which are not well signed. Even after a couple of days it was easy to get turned around in the hallways. As with all the places we have stayed on this trip, the bathroom and/or shower was rather small.

    The location is amazing, right in the heart of the old city center. The room was nice, and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.
