“Just don't book it!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We paid £110 without en-suite, yes we were desperate. Room okay, bathroom clean.
However if you wanted to dry your hair with hairdryer provided good luck! No puff and no mirror.... Breakfast, may have been very nice if you had two or three hours to spare and were happy to sit in the cafe next door as the hotel doesn't have a dinning room. Thought it would be nice to have a hot drink in the lounge, but disapointed yet again as the machine had ran out! How they justify the price and how they ever got 5 stars, it's a JOKE!!

Room Tip: Would not bother

I'm so sorry to hear your time with us was less than perfect. Christmas Market is a very busy time of year for us here in Lincoln, but we do endeavour to provide the same level of service over the course of those 4 days that we provide during the rest of the year. Clearly, this was not the case in regards to our breakfast service and hot drinks facilities, but rest assured that we have looked into what could have been improved and put together strategies to ensure this years runs more smoothly. We have, in light of your comments, replaced the in room hair dryers as well.

Once again, let me take this opportunity to apologise and we hope that, should you ever return to Lincoln, you will consider coming back to the Bail House to allow us to change your impression of us.

Kindest Regards

“location was brill , room disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

We stayed at bail mews, a four poster room with separate bathroom was booked but we received a phone call telling us due to over booking we would be upgraded to a double with shower room and 40inch tv. On getting there we were shown our room which was furthest from the main hotel. Big wall in front of the door which lead into a kitchen through this was bedroom which was a good room apart from only being able to see a shed from the window, and the 40inch tv was on top of a tv unit which was on top of a chest of draws, which made the tv very high. The shower room was through the kitchen and a hallway which both were cold as they didn't seem to have radiators and the flooring throughout was tiles which didnt help . Sorry we dont believe this was an upgrade.
We did find it unusual that no paper work was in the room, places to visit or hotel checking in and times or fire evacuation proceders.
The main hotel was lovely, the complementary tea and coffees were a lovely touch and the sofas comfortable and homely. Staff were helpful and friendly .
We would stay again but ask for a room within the main hotel,

“Needs a little work..but good overall”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

I have stayed in a number of hotels in Lincoln over the years and was pleased with the location and standard of the room. Once you find the hidden car park round the back, down the cobbled lane you find a nice clean hotel. If you come home late at night make sure the remember the door codes! Breakfast is ok, and it's quite nice to pop across to the tea rooms next door.

The standard of the room is good although they are a little shabby, but it is all in keeping with the character of the place. The rooms were a little on the hot side.

Overall not bad for a short trip
