Charlotte House, hotel in Lincoln

Beautiful 1930's Art Deco building directly opposite Lincoln Castle and only a few minutes' walk from the Cathedral and historic Bailgate, with its selection of independent shops and restaurants.

The staff were very friendly. The bed was very uncomfortable and we asked if they could do something about it. The next day they changed the mattress for a new one which was perfect.

Castle Hotel & Apartments, hotel in Lincoln

Situated next to the Lincoln Castle, the Grade II Listed Hotel offers individually styled rooms including Wi-Fi and luxury private bathrooms.

I made a mix up whilst booking, the owner of the hotel telephoned me in person the next day to reassure me dates could be changed and not to panic. She even very kindly threw in a room upgrade. The Customer Service was excellent and the hotel and location were fab too, as was the big breakfast!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the comfort of the beds. They were so comfortable that it felt like sleeping on a cloud, ensuring a great night's sleep. The hotel's cleanliness was impeccable, with every corner spotlessly maintained, which made my stay even more comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, the drinks at the hotel were not only delicious but also very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise and allowed me to unwind without worrying about a hefty tab. Overall, my experience was exceptional, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, this hotel is sure to exceed your expectations!

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.

    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 fixed

    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.

    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.

    Love it all, from the shopping on the high street, the wonderful new Corn Exchange area and on up steep hill to the cathedral/castle quarter. We would recommend the free walking tours, we did the Roman history one and Matt our guide was brilliant, showing us remnants of the roman walls and giving us a visual idea of how things were. There are plenty of pubs and bars to choose from but we particularly loved the Magna Carta, which had a brilliant band playing on the night we went in. Lincoln is brilliant and I love it!

    Lincoln a smallish city crammed with character Packed with history Full of great bars and eateries makes for a great tourist weekend Steep walks a plenty but you can use busses to get to the top of the hills and walk down if your not to fit If you like wandering around ancient streets and quirky shops this is a good place to go

    History, shopping, and a great big hill!

    History, shopping, and a great big hill! Well worth the effort walking up Steep Hill to get the inspirational Cathedral atop; plus there are plenty of boutique shops to pop in on the way for a rest. As a bonus for the kids is that there's a good ice-cream parlour at the bottom and a local fudge shop almost at the top!

    great location, very nice clean en-suite room. I stayed for a couple of nights over the weekend. very welcoming staff, the owner Darren was very considerate and was very helpful in efficiently getting through the contactless checkin. in my opinion this guest house is way better than the local chain hotels, has more character and is way cheaper in comparison. situated only about 15 mins walk from the city centre is an ideal location. would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again if I’m ever that way again!

    The staff are pleasant and were helpful when our room wasn't cleaned (due to staff shortages). We would describe Woodcocks as a good budget hotel offering value for money. The rooms are very similar in style to the Travel Inn chain. There is a family pub adjacent to the hotel; we didn't eat there as the menu was limited in terms of healthy vegan options. The location is good being a 20 minute drive (traffic permitting) of Lincoln City Centre. Also, good for the A46.

    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.

    Lovely, comfortable, clean hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. Our room overlooked the Brayford wharf area which is attractive both night and day. The hotel is situated a short walk from a large number of bars, restaurants and Lincoln City Centre itself. The breakfast options and quality are absolutely top drawer, the choice is formidable. This was our third mini break here this year and it certainly won't be our last.

    Beautiful 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.........

    All of the staff at the hotel and restaurant were wonderful, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and so was our dinner, which we had included in the room rate. There was a lovely outdoor terrace for afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks. The hotel was located in a pretty village and was only a short drive from Lincoln city centre.

    This property is a terrific location just feet from Lincoln Cathedral and Castle. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive and the restaurant is very good. I didn’t rate it excellent because the rooms are a bit small but otherwise a very nice hotel and a good value
