Weekend stay

I was there for the weekend with my wife and baby daughter. Although only stairs access to the room which proved difficult. The room was lovely, great location and nice breakfast. It gets a bit loud in the evening but what do you expect above a pub. Which closes during normal hours

Superb location, first rate room, excellent staff, very good dinner options but let down by breakfast options. Breakfast was fine if eggs in one form or other are your thing. If not then the choice was appalling. Cleary they have not heard of a continental breakfast in any shape or form - serving a single so called croissant on a large plate was beyond a joke. Similarly the cereal selection was limited to high sugar level options with muesli nowhere to be seen. This lack of attention to commonplace breakfast choices spoiled somewhat what is otherwise an excellent hotel and one which we would use again and again but on a room only basis with breakfast purchased elsewhere.

Run by run staff who vacate property relatively early and let you they can be reached by phone. Was not an issue for us, but could be. Large restaurant pub attached to the hotel which is extremely popular and seems to have a hip younger crowd. Location is excellent!

The hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of Lincoln. It is within a few minutes walk of the cathedral and there are pubs and restaurants close by so you are unlikely to need your car once you park in the car park just behind the hotel. While the hotel is actually more of a pub, the rooms are of excellent quality and the breakfasts were lovely. The staff were very friendly and we will definitely book this property again - and stay for longer! A great find in a lovely city!

Don't be put off by the frontage, a coat of paint would transform the look in line with the rest of the hotel. The hotel is situated in the old part of Lincoln a stones throw from both the Cathedral and Castle,on the hill above the City Centre although this is easily walkable There is some parking to the rear but it is quite limited. There is a very nice outdoor beer terrace also to the rear. The room we had was very nicely decorated and well maintained, it looked as if it had been recently refurbished but that had taken place 18 months ago. The room was quite small, it was a very old building, but was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The same went for the bathroom which had a reasonably sized walk in shower. We had dinner in the hotel, a good selection on the menu and reasonably priced. The food and service were excellent. The dining area is quite rustic in line with the age of the hotel but very comfortable. There was no sense of being rushed. We were able to sit there as long as we wanted. The breakfast was the slight downside. As residents we were asked to select the night before despite it being open for walk ins. The selection wasn't great either. A nice continental buffet along with the usual cooked offering would have been so much better. Would we stay again, most definitely.

Historic inn, warm welcome, ideally placed

We had a lovely stay at the Duke William after visiting Lincoln uni with our teen. They went home on the train and we stayed to explore the city. It's in a great location at the top of the city in the older part of town, easily walkable to everything you want to see. The building is old and has been renovated to retain its character. Staff couldn't do enough to help and breakfast was delicious. You order the night before, and if you want anything other than fried eggs make sure to write it on the form as you won't be prompted. The room was lovely, with a view out to the street. We chose it to avoid late-night chat in the beer garden, but everything settled down noise-wise by 11pm anyway. The mattress was incredibly hard, leaving us a bit achy the next morning, but apparently they are looking into getting mattress toppers to ease that for people who don't want to feel like they slept on the floor! It didn't spoil our stay though, and we'll definitely book again to explore this enchanting city.

A pub with rooms situated in the old part of the city at the top of the hill, in easy walking distance of the cathedral and castle. Car parking at rear, but don’t trust the claim of an EV charger without checking first as it was long term out of service when we were there. Good food in the restaurant and good beer on the bar. Amply sized rooms with interesting views from those on the front. We’d go again.
