“I observed that this hotel is centrally located with views of the marina, yet some past guests experienced issues such as parking fees and uncomfortable beds, which affected their overall stay; however, the staff appears consistently helpful and accommodating, even during restrictions. While some rooms may need updating and on-site dining receives mixed feedback, it's a convenient base for exploring Lincoln, especially given its proximity to the train station and local attractions, but be aware of potential drawbacks.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Lincoln By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the hotel's excellent location on the waterfront, with easy walking distance to the cathedral area, restaurants, bars and shops, also noting the convenience of on-site parking for £10 per night, and electric charging points. Many appreciate the spacious and modern rooms; some, however, have mentioned that rooms facing the back overlook the parking area, which is not the prettiest view. Breakfast is often praised for its variety and quality, and some guests enjoyed complimentary ice lollies available near reception, a thoughtful touch.

Wonderful Stay on the Wharf

The location proved excellent. It allowed easy access to nearby restaurants and shopping. On-site parking cost £10 per night. The city tour bus started right outside, saving a walk up a steep hill. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The front doors were a bit difficult to open when handling luggage. Help would have been welcome.

The location next to Brayford Pool provided easy access to waterfront restaurants. I found parking at the hotel convenient and reasonably priced. My room included a king size bed and tea and coffee facilities. The air conditioning worked efficiently during a warm day.
