The hotel is situated in the heart of Lincoln, offering a vibrant location with plenty of life and close proximity to the charming cathedral. The rooms are full of character, featuring a big fireplace and a large shower cubicle, including an excellent bathroom with a soothing waterfall shower. While the dining experience provides top-quality ingredients, gluten-free bread, and tasty snacks, it falls short when served on cold plates. Price-wise, it offers good value for money, making it an attractive option in the center of Lincoln.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room with a full English breakfast included was just perfect for comfort, with a comfy bed and even a sofa. The location is unbeatable, right in the center of Lincoln and opposite the cathedral. The dining experience was outstanding, with top quality ingredients and even gluten-free bread available. The only downside was the slightly higher price, but the value for money was still excellent.

A charming hotel with a view of the Cathedral spires, lovely decor, and a convenient location close to restaurants and bars. However, maneuvering a car through the arch could be challenging.
