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.

    We liked the numerous places to eat.

    We liked the numerous places to eat. We enjoyed visiting inside the Castle, the walk around the Castle walls, and seeing the Magna Carta. The steep walk was an enjoyable bit of exercise. We were disappointed at the cost of and limited access to the Cathedral, I really expected to be able to enjoy and discover more of its splendour.

    Having been at school in Lincoln and lived there until the...

    Having been at school in Lincoln and lived there until the middle 1980s I was not expecting the wonderful improvement that has occurred - largely I suspect as a result of the relatively new university being established there. The vibrancy of both the city and the ancient exhibits (Norman Castle and Cathedral; Roman remains; Museums and Library all seemed to be as good as anywhere I’ve been and the buzz about the City was evident in that I think I detected only one shop that did not appear to be either occupied or under change for a new occupier - in stark contrast to Salisbury that I visited last year. In particular, Brayford Pool - a Roman artificial lake/pool as a terminus on the navigable River Witham - has been transformed as the main focus of Lincoln University and is buzzing with not only student life but a waterside complex of both national and local restaurants, hotels (Hilton etc) and marinas. I only stayed for 3 days as I thought, from memory, that I could just revisit my old haunts but I intend to come back for a much longer stay.

    The old parts around the Cathedral are stunning, with some lovely artisan shops. Plenty of places to eat. The Cornhill quarter is being revamped and will be pleasant. The High Street into the City is rough and I wouldn't walk it after dark. The International Bomber Command Centre is stunning and a must for anyone interested in WW2 history or wishing to remember someone. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact we met many helpful and informative people around the city.

    Lovely castle and some lovely shops, although a few empty ones as is usual these days. The hill will put some off, but plenty of restaurants and bars. If you like your real ale, The Strugglers Inn is the place to go. Friendly town, will return.

    We enjoyed rhe mixture of ancient and modern & it was great for a short break. We found the free tour of the guildhall very interesting, the castle is well worth a visit & what we could see of the cathedral without paying the £11 entrance charge is wonderful. Parking was provided at property from midday on day of arrival until midday on departure day. Parking in city is very expensive but there is a park & ride which we used & found convenient .

    A great city to explore on foot.

    A great city to explore on foot. The Cathedral is amazing, dog friendly and very welcoming. Unfortunately the Castle isn't but there is plenty more to see and do. Wonderful selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Perfect for a short break.

    The 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.

    The Hamilton Hotel is spotlessly clean, and comfortable, and shows signs of a recent renovation. Parking is excellent. It is a level, easy walk (about 1 mile) to Lincoln city centre. The kitchen/diner is well equipped, and would be ideal for someone looking for self catering but serviced accommodation. I chose a room with a private bathroom, which was tiny but adequate. The bed was comfortable, and the room had all the amenities one expects in a hotel.

    Gorgeous location and view of cathedral from our room. We came to look round the university and the hotel was a perfect location to get to the university easily. Beautifully clean room , really comfy beds. My son really enjoyed the breakfast and was able to have as much as he wanted, for him this made the stay !! Would recommend and would stay again. My son will be starting Lincoln university in September so I'm sure we will be staying again soon.

    - The view from the room was fantastic and really worth the extra we paid - The Location as perfect, right in the middle of the old part of Lincoln, near the cathedral, castle etc. We drove and the car park being so close was surprising and very useful. We did not need to walk more than 100 yards to all the events and sights we wanted. - The staff were really friendly and very helpful - Pretty hotel and the furnishings inside are very nice

    The location was brilliant. I was very impressed by how clean the room was,the shower was the best I've had in a hotel and the beds were really comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was impressed at breakfast as there was a separate gluten free section including a toaster. The food was clearly labeled for allergens and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. I will definitely be returning.

    Lincoln id not a cheap location, so value for money is what matters, and this hotel does very well. The location is excellent for the vibrant Brayford Pool area. The rooms are generous and well appointed. Good parking on site is fuss free. The Bar & restaurant are pleasant. The staff are friendly and helpful; shoutout to Arina who looked after during breakfast, excellent service.

    I 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.
