This hotel is a basic Inn, with lots of character, in a great location. The accommodation we had, was a family room at the back of the hotel. We stayed one night in June 2008. A cheap alternative to classier and more expensive hotels, this is a very basic Inn, in need of upgrade and does not earn it's 3... more

Got stuck in Lincoln one night and needed somewhere to stay pretty quick as it was getting late. Found an internet cafe and managed to find a really good deal at the Duke William. Read some of the reviews on here and was expecting the worst, but by that time of night was happy to stay anywhere really. The reception... more

I use this website a lot for checking hotels and I needed a hotel to suit my budget, i saw this hotel but the reviews were very bad but I gave it a go and was very pleasantly surprised.

I do not ask for much from a hotel, just the basics and everything else is a bonus. But this was probably one of... more

Quite the most appalling hotel experience I've had in over 30 years. There were absolutely no redeeming features - the reception area, very difficult to find, was dirty and untidy, reception staff impossible to find unless you were prepared to fight through the crowds at the bar, the room was freezing, the shower nozzle collapsed in the bathroom, the staff... more

Great location but a very poor experience. The staff seem to operate under a cloud of fear of the management/owner. Staff were very inexperienced about simple things such as how the coffee machine worked in the bar or what particular menu was available for lunchtime . One confided in us that this was due to a high staff turnover. At... more
