    Notthing

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the comfort of the beds. They were so comfortable that it felt like sleeping on a cloud, ensuring a great night's sleep. The hotel's cleanliness was impeccable, with every corner spotlessly maintained, which made my stay even more comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, the drinks at the hotel were not only delicious but also very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise and allowed me to unwind without worrying about a hefty tab. Overall, my experience was exceptional, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, this hotel is sure to exceed your expectations!

    The carpark was closed for some renovation work, so I had to find a carpark nearby.

    The location is fantastic. Right in the centre of historic Lincoln. The staff are very attentive and ready to help, the service is excellent.

    Workmen on the fire escape outside our room from 7am. Noise from a dehumidifier or air con unit meant windows couldn't be left open so the room was stuffy and hot. Antlers restaurant was disappointing. The hotel was not full so management could have (maybe should have) upgraded our stay as they were aware of the renovations.

    Fantastic location between the Castle and the Cathedral. The hotel is currently being renovated to a high standard and it is not the finished article yet. The "cosy double" was indeed very small but the bathroom and shower were really nice. All the staff were lovely and the breakfast plentiful and cooked to order. Also liked the cocktail bar which was very stylish.

    Never been to Lincoln, I was concerned about no parking due to renovations however my fears were soon put to rest.

    The old ambience feel of the hotel it was old but in a modern way.Very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, I liked the table service for the main meals.

    All in all everything was of the level expected. Food for evening meal was lovely & breakfast was good although would have preferred it all to be a little hotter. Bed was comfy & big enough for our needs.

    Hotel was still undergoing some renovation and there was not lift available. Stairs are steep and tricky ( I have a mobility issue). Our daughters room had a problem with a noisy cistern and no heating. It was a one night stay and when reported at check out there was no offer of recompense whatsoever to remedy the faults.

    Breakfast and service was great. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Staff extremely helpful. Had a lovely dinner in the Antlers Restaurant.

    Lovely Hotel as usual; will be superb when refurbished. Shame no secure parking any more.

    The 'Garage' is/has been used for other purposes and the roof demolished. That's a shame as secure parking was a major plus for the Hotel and now you are left with the (expensive) local public car parks which are a few minutes walk away. Also, the bathroom (especially the shower) could do with a couple of 'support points' as you exit the bath area - stepping out of the shower onto ceramic tiles with wet feet isn't fun at our age! Also the lift was out of action due to refurbishment works - not fun with a torn ligament!

    The room was nice overlooking Bailgate and the square and actually had opening windows! Lovely refurbished bathroom and power shower. Breakfast, as usual, was superb. Having a proper Doorman is a good touch and adds 'value'; he is a credit to the Hotel.

    No hotel parking so had to use 24hr public parking paying daily. Worth noting the hotel is undergoing renovations. Minimal disruptions although work is going on during the day so some noise. Evenings were obviously quieter.

    Breakfast and dinner were very good. Location was excellent for visiting cathedral, castle and museums. There is a regular Walk and Ride bus shuttle service from down town up to hotel and cathedral quarter. Classic double room was quite compact but had everything you would need - kettle, coffee machine, fridge, safe etc Bathroom very spacious and newly renovated. Little gifts like local cookies were a nice touch. Staff lovely and friendly.
