Amazing suite, with own living room. Will be back

Lovely place, would definitely come back. Very clean and directions to get in all clear. The flooring is dangerously slippy though in the rooms, don't walk around in just socks! The senser/timer for the hall light in room 3 was too long and disturbed sleep. The location was ideal though and right near the cathedral and a great curry place.

Despite booking over a month before we intended to stay, our booking was cancelled at 5pm on the day of our stay. Had to find another hotel with a vacancy which cost more than our original booking.

Property was very good but we stopped room 3 and there water pump under bath wich was vibratiing very badly all night. I reported it to staff downstairs and all i got was apologies and no one would take any action witch spoilt my sleep all weekend.
4.3
Perfect location for what we needed. Room was great although internal doors really heavy and loud so hard to move around quietly. A fantastic couple of days.
4.3
Comfy bed with decent shower. Quiet location. Just watch your head on the low ceiling! Restaurant downstairs is amazing and definitely worth a visit.

Although the parking was at a car park, it was very close by and convenient. And you could easily walk to the center of the town.

We enjoyed our stay at the pleasant Old Bakery. THe room was nicely decorated and the igneous little shower room, clean.
My (single) pillow was rather lumpy and hard which meant I didn't sleep as well as I'd hoped.
Also, the hotel details say there is water in the room. And there was cold water in the fridge, but only one small
bottle!
We did follow the advice from the pre-stay message, (very clear and helpful instructions) and parked at the lawn carpark, (a couple of minutes walk away) and then had breakfast at The Stokes in the same vacinity opposite the castle site. Both of which where good calls.

Good

The room itself is really lovely, its in a quiet area next to the castle so really walkable and was considerably cheaper than anywhere near by which is why we booked it. For those reasons its a good option.
However... it is totally let down by a few things that would be so easy to fix. First the entrance, You very much dont feel welcome sneaking through a poorly marked back gate on a back street. Then the room is lovely and very pretty inside but there are only 2 very thin pillows, we ended up wrapping t-shirts round 2 cushions to make additional because we messaged the out of hours number asking for some spares and had no response at all... we still havent! And this is where the main problem is and why i would not stay there again. The service was worse than an air bnb, we messaged and heard nothing back at all, whats the point of having it if you dont respond? And to say its out of hours, theres no in hours staff either. We tried downstairs in the restaurant and a couple had been waiting there to be seated for 10 minutes with no service so we gave up. Our room wasnt cleaned or serviced over the several days we were there so the tiny bottle of shower gel had long run out and the room never got made up. No breakfast is also a problem, on sunday nowhere near by opens til 0930 at the earliest so no use, you can smell bread etc cooking downstairs by this point so why not offer a breakfast basket option? Also no wifi- we did know this but so cheap and easy to fix.

Extremely happy with stay. I hesitated to book because of very low price, but wanted to be near castle and cathedral. Location was fantastic, literally steps from castle, but a relatively quiet street. Entrance through back alley (thus the low price), but reasonably pleasant and easy (no staff).Room was decent size (about 4 feet all around bed) with an ensuite bathroom in two of the three available rooms (the third has a separate private bathroom), which the expedia advertisement posted incorrectly. The bathroom was narrow but adequate. Everything was very clean with an attractive laminate floor (my preference over carpet due to allergies). Furniture was great with matching desk and two nightstands, all hardwood and attractive, and tiny fridge. Hotel supplied plentiful tea, 6 packs of instant coffee, two pack of hot chocolate, and milk packets and a bottle of water in the fridge. For someone who drinks coffee with milk, the supply of coffee and milk was not adequate for 4 days and was not replenished, but I prefer milk from a bottle in any case (I did end up rationing the coffee, which was annoying). My room was not cleaned during my 4 day visit, which surprised me (rather liked the privacy). Toilet paper, bottle of water, and some bigger towels were left for me and the very nice cleaner, whom I met in the hallway, handed me a fan. I didn't want to live with trash for that long, so left the bag out on the third day and was left more water and trash bags. Iron & board in hall.

A lovely, cosy and comfy property. Perfect for our overnight stay.
4.3
Very well positioned accommodation and walkable to Lincoln castle and cathedral.
Comfortable stay would suggest more pillows required in our room as we only had 1 each.
Really reasonably priced as we got a good deal.
Although we parked further away by choice there is parking a few mins walk away behind the castle.

Brilliant, amazing location. Really pretty room

I had a very comfortable night at the Old Bakery, and I was made welcome on arrival. Staff were helpful. Next time I'll ensure I'm there at a point when the restaurant is open as it looked excellent.

I had a lovely stay here with my friend while we were visiting the area due to work commitments. Check in instructions were sent in a timely manner and easy to follow. The room were spotlessly clean and the little touches were wonderful, hot drink facilities included and a bottle of water in the fridge, we were shocked to find dressing gowns in the wardrobe it was a lovely surprise. The bathroom is literally across the landing and again what lovely facilities, nice and clean it has everything you could need, towels soap, shampoo and conditioner provided. We will for sure visit again! Thank you so so much for such a wonderfully pleasant stay! I can’t wait to return :)

I did not stay in this property because i could not get into the property they did not the code for the door on the email i had to go into another hotel and pay more money to stay there.
4.3
Booked a one night stay as it was central to local bars, restaurants and the cathedral, also town centre shops
Room was nice, tv, fridge
The only issue was a leak in the bathroom which came through the light which was dangerous
Was offered a move to another hotel but as it was late we decided to stay and use towels to soak up the water, Emily from the restaurant was extremely helpful . The out of hours contact didn’t reply or contact us until Sunday afternoon which was a little disappointing but it was rectified in the end

As others have mentioned, there are issues with the heating at this hotel. It was absolutely freezing when we arrived and we informed the restaurant below. They said that the front of house(who manages the properties above) would be in shortly and look into it. On returning from dinner, there was some heating on, and we had been left a small electric fan.
Had exactly the same issues on the following afternoon. On speaking with the front of house, was told that there was nothing they could do as the maintenance team at the college were not in till monday. Was told that they "had looked at the boiler and pushed a few buttons", clearly having no clue.
Eventually persuaded them to allow me to look at it. The timer on the boiler was 12 hrs out (AM vs PM) and the on/off times had been randomly set. Adjusted to keep it on, but think that as it's students that help run it, they have all had a fiddle with the controls and possibly turned things off during the summer (read the reviews below regarding boiling hot rooms) and it had not been corrected.
Comments from management below also state that WiFi will be available from July. Still not available.
Window in the room is also single glazed, so a) cold, b) road noise is an issue c) unopenable. Could really do with being replaced.
On the plus side, the location is great.
4.3
Great stay, only downside was it was freezing when we first checked in for a couple of hours, both the radiators in our room and bathroom were off, and no wifi
4.3
Lovely room, fantastic location, will definitely book again, thank you
