Great location just next to the cathedral and pleasant enough rooms. We were, however, a bit disappointed to be told on arrival that the restaurant was closed. It was clear while we were there that the hotel prioritises its doubtless more profitable events (weddings, local meetings) above the needs of its hotel guests. Breakfast was not at all impressive -... More

I must start off by stating that I have not stayed here personally but I have booked guests in here and attended a recent wedding reception here. Firstly guests travelling to us stayed here in May on our recommendation, and they were very disappointed. They stated that their room was shabby and not that clean although the bed was incredibly...

We choose the old Palace because of the excellent reviews and the location. The location is really lovelly next to the marvellous cathedral and the cathedral quarter.The building is full of history and very impressing. We stayed in a superior double int the mainbuilding and had a nice view across Lincoln. But the interior decoration is a bit dated and... More

We wanted to stay in Lincoln within walking distance of the town and in something a little different from the usual Hotel or B&B and The Old Palace seemed to fit the bill when we booked online. What was not clear on line was the stunning location or the Grandness of this really unique B&B (Although hotel like it did... More

We did have some trouble finding the entrance (the hotel is not signed as they are waiting for new ones) but after a quick phone call to reception we found it with no further trouble. The location at top of the hill and next to the cathedral was magnificent. The old but beautifully maintained buildings were just lovely to see.... More

Situated next to Lincoln's beautiful cathedral. A steep walk down to the city centre ..... even steeper walking back! We were in a superior double in the adjacent converted chapel. The bedroom was small but very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. There is a waiter service for the 'bar' .... drinks are served in a comfortable reading room. Would stay... More

We stayed there last night paying £95 for bed and breakfast. It really is a beautiful old building, part of the cathedral grounds and within the arches. The welcome was good and we were able to leave the car there as we had arrived early to explore the city. It's right on the doorstep for everything and the town is... More

Very easy to find (map on hotel web site). Botanical prints on the wall, the Lodge where we stayed had a sitting room with wing back chairs, elegant lamps and wooden furniture. There is a grass lawn with borders and a terrace for tea/G&Ts at the back, with a beautiful view over Linclonshire. We both had a full cooked breakfast... More

The location of the Old Palace is brilliant and cannot be faulted. Having read about the difficulty of finding it we looked on google street maps and found our way through the archway easily – so we were prepared and found it right away. It seems to me that it is trying to be ‘all things to all people’ and... More
