Location is good and very friendly staff. Room is dated - pillows are very flat and uncomfortable, hot water is a storage heater and quickly ran out of hot water (not enough for one quick shower and one bath), wifi did not work well at all, and walls got wet after the shower if you didn’t shut the door and put the fan on. Amenities provided were basic but serviceable - it is fine if you plan to only use the room to sleep in, but if you want to spend anytime there then it isn’t ideal.

On the hottest day of the summer the long walk up Steep Hill seemed never ending. It was worth it when we reached this hotel. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The communal areas were inviting and beautifully decorated. The stairs and corridors to the room were like a rabbit warren but spotless and classically decorated. The room was stunning, it looked so inviting. Beautiful bedding, lush carpet, thick blackout curtains, a couple of chairs, a side table and drink making facilities. Two steps up to a landing with wardrobe space and then the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel with luxury towels and Elemis toiletries. The shower was easy to use and powerful. We ate in the bar on the first night; lovely staff and beautifully presented delicious food. My husband said the pie was one of the best he had tasted. I missed breakfast the first morning due to being unwell but my husband enjoyed it. The second night we ate in the restaurant. I had the the pie that my husband had enjoyed and yes it was delicious. My husband decided to push the boat out and have the lamb. He sat watching all the large portions coming out for other diners, then his small portion of 'nouveau cuisine' lamb dinner came out. His face dropped, he is good at maths and worked out that each mouthful cost £3. I suggested ordering a side of vegetables but he didn't want to cause a fuss. I gave him half of my pie and pudding as my portions were too big for me.

Fabulous location and the hotel is great. Staff lovely and couldn’t fault our room. A wedding in the hotel meant lots of music until late on but nothing intolerable. We would stay here again.

Very pleasant weekend away at the White Hart hotel. Our room, number 104, was very comfortable with the only exception being the the early morning delivery’s were directly beneath our window.

Not bad not good just ok

The room was clean and well appointed - (we had a deluxe double - but it was 2 singles with a topper but it was clearly two single beds you had a gap down the middle which does not normally happen in this kind of situation. Was noisy but I expected this due to location - come midnight it went silent so all good - breakfast was ok.

Disappointing

Was disappointed as this is a premier hotel in Lincoln. We arrived late to find no lift to get our luggage up several steps to our room. Whilst the room was comfortable it was dark with the lamps a problem-solving exercise to actually turn them on. Most disappointing was the lack of bedrrom servicing on our 2nd night. First world issues I know but still not what you expect.

This is an historic hotel with great charm. But it is next to the Lincoln Cathedral where bells ring 4 times an hour from 7am to 11pm. We found that annoying.

Lovely room and bathroom, clean and comfortable. However, it was much noisier than we expected overnight. The windows were old and single glazed. We could hear people in the streets talking and laughing until about 3am.It was a Saturday night in the town centre so we expected some noise but not that much. We could also clearly hear people coming back to their rooms after a night out. We got very little sleep. Staff were polite and did their best but breakfast was not very organised. They have a system with 2 breakfast sitting so a lot of people arrived for breakfast at the same time which probably wasn’t the best system. We went for the 8-8.15 sitting. People were queuing up to go into the room when we arrived. We didn’t have to wait to long to be seated but the people sitting next to us described it as fawlty towers! We were offered tea and coffee on arrival but we had to remind them twice before it arrived. Staff were bringing food out and taking it to the wrong tables so ended up wandering round asking different tables if that was what they had ordered. The waiter managed to knock the lamp off our table. The people at the next table asked for porridge (off the menu) assuming it would be made onsite but were told they could only have the gluten free porridge which came in a premade pot that they had to add water to themselves. However our breakfast (when we eventually got it) was very nice. Overall a nice hotel but we wouldn’t stay here again due to the noise
