This review only covers the restaurant. I am aware of the bar which is normally busy through out the day and night and can get very full at weekends. Age group mix would generally be between 30 and 45+. The restaurant is a small intimate room removed from the bar environment. On the two occasions I have visited the service... More

I stayed here about a year ago and really enjoyed it. This time was OK (2 nights) but not quite as good. The two nights we stayed were Friday and Saturday, with the bar packed and noisy, not rowdy, just very popular, but impossible to get a seat and have a quiet drink. Ordering from the bar menu was not... More

Stayed here for our first wedding anniversary and took our 8 month old son with us. On a positive the room was lovely well presented and was clean. The views were nice and location ideal. Overall though we were not overjoyed with the stay. The Tower only offered A La Carte that evening which was expensive and not at all... More

I have stayed in the Tower Hotel many times. The Hotel is really well located - in up-hill Lincoln and close to The Bailgate, Castle and Cathedral. Rooms are good and well serviced. My recent visits have been to the bar which I consider to be exceptional; there is a variety of environments all served by the same long bar.... More

Have stayed at The Tower for several years, and always enjoy it. Usually arrive lateish and with restaurant closing at 9 pm grab a bite to eat locally then back to the hotel bar for a nightcap. Popular bar area as no matter what evening I am staying is always busy. Room nice and clean, with comfortable bed for a... More

lovely rooms, comfortable, clean and quiet in spite of the bar and restaurant being very busy. The breakfast was excellent and they pay half the stay and display charge which is a nice gesture. Free wifi is always welcome although the connection was a bit sporadic and slow. I know they are trying to rectify this. Would definitely recommend and... More

Hotel has very good location and pay and display car park opposite. As previous guests have said half of the parking fee was returned by the hotel which is a nice guesture. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was freshly cooked and decent portions. The room was a bit disappointing. Nice size room and bathroom and... More

My husband and I had an over night stop as this beautiful hotel. It was in the old cathedral quarters of the city with easy access to restaurants and shops. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We had breakfast which was cooked to order and was delicious. I can't wait to go back.

A very clean room recently decorated with a large very clean bathroom but a shower over bath meant mixer taps which where hard to control water potentially red hot..I just cut my shower short. The bed was comfortable and we slept well until 7am when... More

Nice boutique type hotel with a lovely bar area inside and out at the back. Good breakfast in a pleasant enviroment. There was also a good size bathroom with large bath towels. Nice room with attractive furnishings though some of them were beginning to look a bit shabby. Good location at the top of the hill with lots of restaurants... More
