Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): I’d strongly recommend staying at the Rest Hotel. The rooms are very well maintained and modern. The location is perfect - The location was fantastic.
The room was very modern and comfortable.
The check-in and check out process was very easy.
The staff were brilliant and incredibly helpful at every stage of our stay.
We had no complaints, everything about our stay was perfect. Nothing to report, we were very happy with all aspects of the property
- Mark (10/5): -

- Rebecca (9/5): - Perfect location Nothing
- Hayley (10/5): -
- Alison (10/5): Slept so well and had towels and washing cubes - It was explained very well to enter and get our key Nothing. It was an amazing place to stay
- Nichola (9/5): A lucky find. - Immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, close to the cathedral and castle and cosy pubs with good food. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. This is a special place. We loved every thing about it. It was a bit of a hike from the car park, up the hill in hot weather, but this is no fault of the hotel.
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Snook (10/5): Wonderful! Beautiful accommodation and lovely view - Beautiful accommodation in a top spot in Lincoln at the top of steep hill. The veranda was an unexpected bonus particularly since the weather was for once in British history lovely. Could not recommend this accommodations enough it's a little gem in the heart of Lincoln I'm so pleased I found it. Will most definitely stay again hopefully for longer!
- Chris (9/5): Superb -
- Marc (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location in the middle of the city centre.
- Laura (10/5): Delightful boutique hotel - Comfy, clean with easy, well informed check-in. Beautifully decorated and laid out. Only one bedside light and put room name and number on key to avoid confusion.
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Nothing. It was great!

- Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Phil (8/5): Very good -

- Allan (8/5): Very good - The location. The check-in and check-out process
- Dermot (8/5): - Nice spot off steep hill. Owners good with communication and instructions. Very good condition. Rooms relatively compact and ideal for short trip.
- Margaret (9/5): Superb -
- june (8/5): - The room was very clean and tidy. Would have liked more coffee bags especially as the cafe downstairs was closed when we arrived on the Monday and only open from 10am - 2 on the other days.
Instructions for checking in and out were very clear.
Stairs and outside areas were gritted prior to. Snowfall.
- Lee (8/5): Very good -
- Christopher (10/5): Super spot in the centre of old town - Stayed for two nights and a weekend break for two. Location is excellent but it is on Steep Hill and it’s named that for a reason. We couldn’t drop off outside parked down the hill which was a big mistake. Make sure you park above the place. The room was excellent and was clean and tidy with all the facilities you could want. The cafe is underneath and has great coffee and friendly service and you get 10% discount as a guest. Highly recommended and a great location to explore wonderful Lincoln.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Swallows - Excellent lovely clean good size quiet room, tv signal not good, bed very squeaky
- Helena (10/5): Amazing - It was a perfect location with an amazing view. The room was immaculate. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Fantastic location. Friendly staff. Beautifully clean. Nice decor
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Debbie (10/5): Great weekend away in a perfect spot - Lovely and clean, spacious, good location, staff very accommodating Nothing
- David (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay, mainly the cleanliness and very central to Lincoln. Mattresses a little uncomfortable . - Very clean, excellent bathroom and shower Mattress was a little uncomfortable.
- Lynn (10/5): lovely stay - Comfy bed, clean and nice accommodation nothing
- Jeni (8/5): Lovely stau - Lovely self contained room with small kitchenette and en suite. Comfortable space and bed. The only minor complaint is the shower which only provided a small amount of water and not much power.
- יוסי (2/5): Not recommended - Location No service at all, nothing
- Adrian (9/5): Superb - Location, location, location. The accommodation was small but perfectly formed. Nice finish throughout, comfy bed, great shower and great location It did get very warm overnight
- Samantha (9/5): Pleasent, friendly staff and a lovely comfortable room. - Plenty of natural light so didn’t have to rely on artificial lights whilst in the room. The room itself was clean, spacious and comfortable, the room was well equipped and we found we didn’t want for anything during our stay. There was nothing about the property that I didn’t like.
- Nic (10/5): Lovely room in a lovely part of Lincoln - Lovely room above the cafe. As other reviewers have mentioned, the kitchenette makes it feel like a rather nice room rental more than a hotel. Everything was spotless, the bed comfortable. Very pleased with it.
- Bonnie (10/5): - Fab,clean,modern and comfy bed
- Richard (8/5): Worked for us - Perfect for what we required
- Lindsay (5/5): Average - Good location Room was too hot
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (9/5): Great value short stay - Amazing location, right in the centre of Lincoln's Cathedral District. Charming rooms above the cafe. Clean and well equipped - including a little kitchen with a hob and microwave. Very friendly staff. Excellent value for money. I would wholeheartedly recommend if you were having a short stay in Lincoln. There was nothing that we didn't like. Just to flag - if you really struggle with hills then the Lincoln Cathedral District may not be the best place for you (the clue is in the name of the road...)
- Joy (9/5): Great room, great location and staff - bring earplugs! - Great room with an excellent ensuite - shower was lovely. Parking nearby was not too far but it is quite steep so take it easy! Cafe onsite was great for a breakfast bap at 10.00am (when it opens) and the coffee available in room was very welcome. Facilities in room which included a kitchenette were really useful if staying for longer than one night. Staff in the cafe were helpful and there were gluten free options for my husband. If you are kept awake by sudden noises I would recommend some earplugs as there was a loud fan coming on regularly for 15 mins or so every hour through the night that woke us both up a few times. This wasn’t in the ensuite so we assumed it was at a nearby property. Apart from this there was nothing to complain about.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Location in old town Very hot; no breakfast until cafe below opens
- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (10/5): Very nice - Nice modern, well appointed, clean rooms accessed by a shared terrace with seating and tables. Kitchenette and basic kitchenware were advantageous
- Ian (9/5): Lovely place to explore the Cathedral Quarter. - Comfortable place to stay when taking short breaks in Lincoln. Hosts great and room excellent. All these are subjective, but the location is up one of the steepest streets in the UK. If infirm worth considering whether this is the place for you. No breakfast , but the recommendation up the hill at Bells was great. The room had a minor defect in the cistern .
- Jo (8/5): Gorgeous room, spacious well designed bathroom. Very comfortable - Location
Friendly reception from Seb Balcony was not as advertised.
It was a walkway not a balcony and no view. Seats needed a wipe to be useable.
- Louise (10/5): Just lovely ! - It was one night and would have preferred single beds. Otherwise there was nothing g at all that had been forgot in the rooms . Very well thought out accommodation and reasonably priced . The staff in the cafe were absolutely lovely !!
- Helen (10/5): Superb hotel & fantastic location - The rooms are excellent and are very comfortable and are extremely lavish. Everything you need is on offer for your stay. The location was great, right in the middle of everything. Nothing, everything was perfect.
- Sheila (9/5): Fabulous accommodation. -
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ruth (10/5): Exceptional - It had a fridge for my medication
The non-slip mat to put on very slipoeey shower floor Too hot
Not much control over the cooling of the room- had a fan and ceiling luvure but not enough
- Bastow (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely rooms and great location
- Harry (9/5): Superb - There was no tea towel for washing up.
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely room, comfy bed, great location Everything was perfect
- Michael (9/5): I would stay there again- clean, comfortable, friendly staff and everything you need for a short stay. - Clean, comfortable, well appointed. Very good location. There's a very nice cafe downstairs and we had a good lunch there. Nothing really to speak of. The shower head could do with descaling but otherwise it was an excellent place to stay.
- Emily (10/5): Wonderful so great have booked again for a Christmas weekend!’ - The location was superb and the accommodation was spotlessly clean, very calm decor Nothing
- Michael (9/5): Really enjoyable & would definitely return in the future - It was a small but intimate hotel in the heart of the castle/cathedral area of the city. The staff were all friendly & attentive. We loved it & would recommend it. Being located on a steep hill location means it may not be suitable for those with mobility problems.
- james (10/5): - Great place in a fantastic location. Lincoln is a great place to visit and this hotel was perfect.

- Marc (9/5): We really like lincoln but we probably wouldn't stay here again . - Good location, very tidy and clean . Room was cosy . £140+ was a little steep . No breakfast included no staff to meet you or see you at any point . No views unless you stood on a chair and looked out the velux window in the bathroom.
- Valerie (8/5): Nice stay. - Good location with parking not too far away. Good large bathroom, good shower. Handy cafe underneath the property with good selection of food and drinks. Helpful greeting allowing us to dump our bag before check-in. Sheets were clean but a little stained. I was expecting a bigger room but it was perfectly adequate for us.
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fiona (10/5): - The Rest Inn, located on Steep Hill is right in the heart of Lincoln and close to the Cathedral, Castle and the hustle and bustle of a traditional market town with so much on offer. Our suite was comfortable with many thoughtful touches and an area outside with tables and chairs for occupants of each room to enjoy eating or just being outside. Great shower and comfy bed. Communication was excellent. Great value.
- Penelope (9/5): Superb -
- Senorad (9/5): Lovely little property - Beautiful room, very clean and lovely design. Great to have fridge etc even though we didn't stay long enough to use it. A little smaller than expected but not an issue, very steep walk up to hotel so be prepared. Worth ot though :)
- John (10/5): Exceptional - The Rest Hotel was perfect! It was so comfortable, warm, thoughtfully furnished and decorated. The bathroom was equally stunning. We'll definitely be staying again on our next trip to this beautiful city Nothing to dislike about this property
- Martin (9/5): Superb - Only stayed for one night, attending a wedding, but would definitely return when we sre in Lincoln next time Nothing really, but be ware the property is in tge middle of steep hill, and could be an issue if yiu have mobility problems

The only thing I didn’t like was the smoke detector was directly above the bed and flashed all night , I had to cover my eyes as it was very bright in the dark, may be better having it just away from the bed.
