4.0 / 5.0
Comfy and convenient
4.0 / 5.0
Clean, decent sized room, good communication about how to get in, and an immediate response when I had a question. plenty of supplies for a light breakfast and hot drinks, communal area was clean and light and modern too. Across from a big park/common for some fresh air or walkable/near bus route into city centre.
I didn’t hear any noise from other occupants.
Location does mean some traffic noise but earplugs were provided.
Instructions about parking could have been clearer. Some rooms have allocated numbered parking spaces, others don’t have a space. On street parking nearby was easy enough though.
2.0 / 5.0
Information was misleading. The parking was not guaranteed and there were yellow lines all around the area. The outside if the property was scruffy and dirty. The website did not say the property was unmanned. I would not have booked if I had known. Tried to phone prior to arriving but very poor line and is just a call centre. Very satisfactory.
1.5 / 5.0
The property is about 15 minutes walk south of the centre of the city, in an area with good local facilities.
My room was very nicely appointed and equipped, and it's very useful to have a shared kitchen and sitting room - also nicely appointed and equipped. Cleaning was immaculate.
First and foremost it's important to note that this is an unstaffed property. There is no-one on site. Communication is by email and text message only.
Breakfast was a small box of corn flakes, fresh milk and yoghurt in the fridge, a packet with fresh bread (for toasting) and supplies of jam and butter. Adequate but not enticing.
Sadly there was one major impediment to my comfort. There was a large radiator which was on full blast. The thermostatic vale seemed to have been broken by a previous occupant. The room was sweltering hot and there was no way to adjust it without pliers or a plumber. All the windows were locked shut. I texted the "hostaway" service (it was late evening) and they said it would be fixed another day, but the heating should switch off soon anyway. In fact it took hours for the room to cool down and I didn't get to sleep till gone 4 am. This hugely spoiled my stay. Without that problem it would have been good.

A system seemed to work on the whole. It gave me exactly what was offered.
I had a real issue with the key safe .. . It took about 5 minutes to get it open, even with great care it wouldn't open!

4.0 / 5.0
Size of the room and location wasn't too far from town to walk. Ensuite was a good size. Loved that there was an electric fan.
Some of the breakfast items weren't given other than the arrival day. Mattress needs replacing as dipping in the middle. Shower head was leaking/water pressure not so good possibly because of this. Possibly needs two fans in this hot weather as due to noise from the busy road, leaving windows open isn't good.

2.5 / 5.0
good location if your going into the city.
on arrival our parking space for room 6 was already taken by another car. Door lock to room was told to tap and enter code but was really tricky and took ages to work. when we rang to explain this it took some time for a call back to then be told to cover whole black panel with hand. Breakfast is now in the room and there was only 6 milk so only enough milk for one coffee each,and no milk for cereal. Also would have liked more butter for toast, and also would have liked two proper slices of bread not the crust. Bed is very little and uncomfortable. The radiators in both the bedroom and bathroom where off and not working, and there was just one electric heater in the bedroom which took a long time to warm us up. disappointed as I’ve stayed here before and this time I paid more and definitely didn’t feel like it was value for money. shame as my trip was after having been in Lincoln hospital to have a biopsy and I wanted somewhere nice to relax instead of driving home that day. Also not a fan of late 4pm check in and early 10am check out as I stay away in hotels a lot and usually check in would be 2/3pm and check out 11am. Shame, but after this visit, we won’t be returning.

Nice and clean and relatively modern. Location was ideal to walk into Lincoln
We were in a studio and there were no place to sit down and eat your food. Could have done with a small breakfast bar or small table for two with chairs.
3.5 / 5.0
Location was great, not far from City Centre. 15 min walk approx. Room
1st time in a self-serviced B&B. No staff onsite and Breakfast was a tray of basic supplies left in fridge. Not a major issue for us but could be clearer on description as may be a deal breaker for others.
3.5 / 5.0
Calm place. The room was clean and cosy.
Room 4 ‘s window was close to road but I couldn’t hear cars around 9pm.
No soap for shower provided except a hand soap.
Water from the shower was too hot and the cold water side seem to not work.
Breakfast: inexistant! The hôtel should let the guests know what exactly is provided so the guest knows what to bring in.
No staff around-cold welcoming.

Close to Lincoln City centre very clean plenty of breakfast food left in the fridge in our room .The room was very pleasant the shower was very good plenty of hot water
There was nothing we did not like
4.0 / 5.0
Reasonably walking distance to my working place, Daily replenishment breakfast in my room. Cleanliness and tidiness. I could not asked for too much for the size hotel based on my current understanding of the place and my own requirement.
I did not know what could have been better for this size of hotel because I got better service than some bigger hotels that I have been for approximately the same amount of money - e.g for this same amount of money I would have to pay for the breakfast I received and even paid for WIFI. May be other guests might have seen what could have been better.
5.0 / 5.0
Never stayed at a self serve hotel before but was pleasantly surprised, the rooms are modern with nice bathrooms and the kitchen area downstairs was modern and clean. Have no complaints what so ever and for the price it’s a perfect place to get your head down. Would stay here again if I came back to Lincoln
Happy with it all
