we stayed overnight on 20 Jan 2012, purely as a treat to ourselves, we only live 5 miles away, but wanted a night out without worrying about getting home again. My wife arranged everything, and booked a garden room which was very nice. In the summer they must be terrific, with access to a little patio overlooking a peaceful garden area. The room was of a reasonable size with a nice bathroom (stone floor - very cold!!) My wife chose the garden room because she asked for the biggest bed, I am 6 ft 4 ins, the room had an extra wide bed, which was two singles bolted together, but unfortunately was only 6 ft long so i spent the night very uncomfortably with my feet sticking out freezing! We ate dinner in the hotel, food was very good, and reasonably priced for the location, breakfast the next day was disappointing, not very warm, but plenty of food available. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right in the middle of historic Bailgate, and within touching distance of the Cathedral. Unfortunately the appearance of the Hotel spoils the local area, it is a concrete slab monstrosity from the 60's and is an absolute eyesore! On the inside they have tried to make it attractive, but it is still like the inside of an aging polytechnic, all concrete and stone stairwells, quite depressing. The staff were all very good, and we would probably stay again, we just would close our eyes when entering or leaving the hotel!

stayed for 2 nights in a garden room which was very nice. The down side was that when we arrived, a wedding reception was taking place which made it difficullt manouvering ourselves and luggage through the guests to get to the desk to check in. We were asked to pay without even seeing the room, but what really peeved us was that we were charged 5 pounds for over-night parking, we questioned this and was told that all the hotels in Lincoln make a charge for parking.
The heating is obviously on a timer because it was off for both days from mid afternoon until 7p.m.ish we mentioned this and was provided with an electric heater.

We would stay again...but not if a wedding reception is taking place.

the room i was booked into was on the top floor,great view,nice and quiet.the dinner menu is very good,you have to wait a little while for your meal as it is freshly cooked.the breakfast s could do with a little more choice,but,overall they were nice.the staff were very helpfull.there is a notice re car parking saying you have to pay,but i found this this not be the case

We stayed at hotel for new years eve ball. Had a lovely balcony room with fantastic views of the cathedral. After a sumptuous 7 course dinner, we danced the night away at the new years eve party. Luckily breakfast next day was "brunch" style which allowed us a lie in. Brunch was great with an endless choice. Best of all was the welcome we received from the moment we checked in. Definately a new years eve to remember!!!
