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!

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!

    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.

    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.........

    This lovely property is in an ideal location to explore Lincoln and enjoy the sites of the city. If you have car it’s easy to access and parking is convenient. We enjoyed the privacy and it felt quite relaxing having an outdoor space with a whole place to ourselves. It is well appointed, quiet and comfortable. We will absolutely stay here when we return to Lincoln.

    Comfortable beds and a good size twin room with two decent size singles. Lift to the rooms, plenty of parking, great location just down the road from a train station in to Lincoln. Hotel was warm too. I had to book here short notice after my other hotel had really uncomfortable small twin beds so I really appreciated it.
