FAQs about hotels in Lincoln
The Glory of Medieval England
Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.
Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.
This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.
Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.
Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

Great venue for a weekend away - you can walk everywhere (steep slope up to the Castle andCathedral). The Cathedral is stunning and the Castle worth the trip on it's own. The £16 ticket seemed a lot, but it was well worth it. A guided tour outside, a walk with audio set around the castle walls, a visit to the old prison and, to cap it all, to see the Magna Carta (one of the four existing copies in existence). With the cafe on site we spent a very full morning seeing everything - allow 4 hours to do it justice.AlanUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Lincoln is an underrated city - it has an amazing Cathedral and Castle, which are well worth a visit. Steep Hill is only for the fit, but worth it if you can. Lovely small shops and cafés line the route, so you can have a break if you wish. Also, you can visit free of charge art galleries like the Usher Gallery (Turner paintings). The people of Lincolnshire are very friendly and this is why I live here!

Good Things: Staff were very nice and helpful.
Good Things: Staff were very nice and helpful. Location was great, close to lots of places. Bad Things: No slippers in room even though I asked for them. Breakfast was not good, not enough food. Bathroom and toilet were too small The staff were really friendly, but there were some problems too. I asked for slippers but never got them. The breakfast did not have much choice. And the bathroom felt cramped because it was so tiny. The location was convenient at least, making it easy to walk around. Overall an okay stay, but could have been better if the issues with amenities were fixedErhan - 10Scored 10

Lincoln is a good place to visit with a lot of history to look around. The cathedral area is walkable from the newer centre albeit up Steep Hill which as it's name suggests is tiring but worth it. There is a bus that goes from the bottom end of the city to the cathedral area.DeanUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Not too touristy.
Not too touristy. Must-sees are the castle and cathedral, and (if you can manage it) Steep Hill. Plenty of independent shops and restaurants, as well as all the chains on the flat part near the river. City walk (most weekends and free, with donations) really worth doing.

- From ₪ 694.55 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 2,006 reviewsRoom was nicely decorated,the pool and spa facilities were good, the bar was a really lovely area, we didnt eat in restaurant so cant say but looked nice. We used hotel as base to see lincoln which was short drive away, or was bus stop we noticed directly outside hotel on main road into city centre. We did wander over to the brewers fayre pub to sit outside in garden there as weather was lovely and next door so convenient. Hotel looks better inside than the rather dated, tatty, outside of it.
andrewUnited Kingdom - From ₪ 713.19 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 4,263 reviewsGreat location part way up Steep Hill just a few minutes from Castle, Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Check in at 2 but able to park from 12. We arrived at 12:45 and we're able to get into our room then too. Lovely converted building with beautiful, comfortable rooms. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk provided as well as orange juice. Croissant, jam and yoghurt delivered to room in morning was a nice touch. Would definitely book again of returning to LincolnSallyUnited Kingdom
- From ₪ 592 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 344 reviewsThe room was lovely. Carpet was lovely and fluffy, beautiful curtains. The mattress was the best I've slept on in a hotel for a while. Breakfast was lovely although I wasn't a fan of the Lincolnshire sausages but hubs soon cleared them off lol!! The manager was friendly and helpful. The hotel position is great for the castle and cathedral. Car park very close and only £9 for 24hrs. Will definitely be staying again hopefully won't leave it 7 years til our next visit.KirstyUnited Kingdom
- 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 5,407 reviewsThe room was clean, well equipped and comfortable enough for our needs with a pleasurable view over the wharf / marina area. With a five minute walk from Lincoln city centre, this hotel boasts many benefits. A choice of restaurants within a very short walking distance. The hotel itself offers a very comprehensive breakfast range which did not fall short of excellence. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A massive well done to the team.
LEAUnited Kingdom - 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,674 reviewsWe’ve stayed in this hotel for a number of years when visiting Lincoln. We love it’s waterfront location close to the bars, restaurants and shops of the city centre. When visiting, we often go to the cinema which is just a few minutes walk from the hotel The lovely old town is a short but challenging walk away. We’ve usually managed to get a space in the hotel car park. Decent breakfast and loved the warm cookies on check in.
JackieUnited Kingdom - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 92 reviewsBeautiful period property, fabulous location and views over the Lincoln city and Cathedral and castle. Literally a couple of minutes stroll and you are in the historic part, and 10 minutes walk, you're in the more modern, lively areas. Can't recommend this property enough, works so well for exploring Lincoln, parked the car on the first day, and didn't use it again until we reluctantly left to come home.........
MikeUnited Kingdom - From ₪ 512.75 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 990 reviewsI loved how cozy and clean the room was. It has even a small fridge in the room. I travel a lot and even some big hotels don't have that. The location is perfect, very close to the city centre. I used to live in Lincoln and I didn't know this beautiful house before. I would recommend it 100% and I would stay there if I need a place to stay when I come back again.Ana MariaUnited Kingdom
- From ₪ 386.90 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 2,648 reviewsThe room was clean, well appointed, comfortable and warm. Needed to book in at the pub rather than the hotel on arrival. The pub next door was great for an evening meal, even though we hadn't pre booked. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not cheap, but was hearty. For a night away, on the outskirts of Lincoln you could do much worse, we would go again.JoanneUnited Kingdom
