Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast items were refilled frequently so if you times it right the items were hot. With Amy buffet, if you time it badly the items are a bit cold. Fresh juice was good and the coffee delicious. "

The Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a good stay at the Castle Hotel. Lovely little hotel, super comfy bed and gorgeous bed linen. The room was spotless and generous tea and coffee making facilities. Nice bathroom products. No A/C as it's a beautiful old building, but that was fine as was able to open windows and control the radiator. I didn't have a cooked breakfast but buffet options were fine and the other guests seemed to be enjoying their cooked food. I will stay again, thank you."
