“That Bath”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2008

My wife and I were hoping to spend a 4 night stay in Lincoln, but due to the prices of our regular hotel could not afford the 4th night so decided to make an introduvtory stop at this frankly charming hotel. The owner was an awesomely friendly chap and really attended to us. The room was superbly decorated in a contemporary fashion with lovely warm colours. Then we saw THE BATH ... free standing, and HUGE! Lets say we spent most of the early evening in that! We then popped out into town for a few beers prior to a fairly good meal in the Buddha restaurant ... tho the rice for my meal seemed to have been microwaved which didn't please me immensely. All the same it was a reasonable price in comparison to Lincoln's restaurants overall. After that we spent some time in the excellently swanky guests lounge, complete with unfeasibly large sofa and watched the Johnny Cash bio "Walk The Line" from the extensive DVD collection. Altogether a lovely stay which may have not met the standards of the hotel we stayed at for the next 3 nights, but was certainly a great first night.

Stayed October 2007

“Worse nights sleep ever!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2008

This hotel is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't be fooled by its designer boutique hotel looks.

Firstly the mattress was extremely uncomfortable; it felt like it should have been replaced years ago with no padding, just a load of metal springs. I had bruises on me the next morning from it!!

Secondly the "designer" furniture was falling apart at the seams.

Thirdly the sound proofing was awful; I was woken in the night by a couple rowing on another floor!

And lastly if you are driving then do not come here as you can only park after 6pm in the surrounding streets and you will have to fight the local residents for a space.

“A touch of class!”

Have recently come back from this lovely little hotel.We arrived a little early but were soon let in by the owner who was very friendly and gave us a drink on the house while registering.The decoration in the Buddah bar was superb and my questions about the paintings were answered in detail.On the way upstairs to the room all the landings were beautifully dressed with candles( which were lit in the evening when we came down for dinner) and orchids and more paintings and eastern ornaments.
We stayed in the Gold room which was comfortable but the bed squeaked a lot if you moved around on it.A jacuzzi bath and stylish basin with luxury toiletries.
The coffee in the room not instant and a choice of ordinary or herbal tea and fresh milk.Also water and little chocolates.
A small flat screened TV ( a cd player would have been nice)
Dinner later in the evening was superb and good value for money.
This hotel is a little oasis on a very ordinary street!

Ps if you come by train you can walk fro the station through the shopping centre and over the bridge.

“a real treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2007

Le petit hotel is not on the nicest street in Lincoln and from the outside it it doesn't promise much but once you enter it is a whole different story.

The downstairs is a tastefully decorated bar and restaurant (which I recommend - the food was delicious) and you are shown straight to your room with no need to queue and check in.

The room was simple and elegant (without being beige and bland) with flat screen tvs and great views of the cathederal. The biggest surprise however was the bathroom where there was a mamouth free-standing bath - far exceeding what i's expect in a room of this price.

The service was superb - friendly and helpful and I can't wait to return!
