About Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre

Holiday Inn Express® Lincoln City Centre hotel is a 15-minute walk from Lincoln Central Station, 50-minute drive from Humberside Airport (HUY), and an hour and a half from East Midlands airport (EMA). We have parking available for £11 per night.

Step out the hotel and take the short walk to the stunning Lincoln Cathedral, a gothic masterpiece dating back to the 11th century. You can also explore the University of Lincoln, a 10-minute walk away.

History enthusiasts will love that Lincoln Castle is just a stone's throw away, housing one of only four remaining copies of the Magna Carta. Wander down the cobbled streets of Steep Hill afterwards, passing a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Catch a variety of shows at New Theatre Royal, less than one mile away. For a taste of local life, head to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, where you can learn about the region's rich heritage and culture. Our central hotel is perfectly located for a weekend city break.

Lovely new hotel, great carpark. Breakfast was hot and well stocked with hot plates!

I arrived early and was expecting to be asked to wait until 3pm to check in. However my room was ready and so the staff on the front desk were able to give me my key card. My first floor room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful - I was meeting up with some of my old College friends and they were able to direct me around the roadworks so I could get to the city centre.

The air conditioning in my room was very much appreciated, as it meant the room temperature was maintained throughout the night. As there was very little traffic, I was able to get a good night's sleep.

The breakfast was excellent. There was a good range of options available and allergens were clearly indicated. As this is self service, it means there should be less wastage. I enjoyed the cooked breakfast, and was very impressed with the paper containers for the jam/chocolate hazelnut sauce/marmalade which accompanied the toast and croissants.

Only feedback I have and gave on check out was the breakfast was not great scrambled eggs tasteless, hash browns not good, sausages well more like cardboard than meat ... Limited choice overall apparently the nutella substitute had little to no flavour and no idea what the apple juice was but more like water than juice. Coffee machine did a okay mocha and the bread was okay one stale bit encountered but could have bern another guess partial toasting who knows. Location is good parking great and room was comfortable and well proportioned

Great place at a great price. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the hotel has recently been refurbished.
At first its location might seem a little removed from the obvious attractions, Cathedral, Castle etc. However a steady walk through the retail area and up the hill is fine. We are in our 70s and managed it in 30 minutes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The whole place was clean and the bathrooms particularly spotless. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well appointed. The staff were, without exception, extremely helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with plentiful and enjoyable buffet with lots of choice. Parking is discounted for hotel guests, to £11 for 24 hours. All in all we would definitely stay again and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Another good stay. Really enjoyed it. The staff were really helpful. Discounted parking is £11 per day which needs to be considered. I didn’t experience breakfast this time but last time it was excellent. Negative points: the sockets should have USB ports to make charging devices easier.

Check in was very easy and straightforward. My only negative on this is the time allowed in the car park at check in. We wanted to just drop our things off and then go but felt like we had to rush because of the time limit. Our room was clean and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant and professional. The breakfast was an added bonus. Very tasty and plenty of choice. We love the convenience of the hotel. Would definitely recommend booking and will be back next year. 👍

The room was very small with a half window and half curtain covering a wall. The bath did not have conditioner and bath soap not refilled. Toilet did not flush properly.
The bed was double bed, not queen.
Breakfast was OK and the staff was helpful.
One receptionist was very nice.
Location not good, too far away from the Centre and not much at all around the hotel.

I usually use Hilton hotels but noticed that this place was getting excellent reviews, so I booked for my one-night stay in Lincoln.

Great start. Luke at the front desk gave a warm, genuine welcome without any 'corporate speak' that sometimes sounds like it's from a script.

Room very clean with good amenities - has the feel of a company that knows how to please and takes trouble to maintain a high standard.

The inclusive breakfast deserves a special mention - brilliant value and far better than most hotel breakfasts that come with an extra charge.

I'd say this hotel is unbeatable at its price point. I'll be back!

We had an accessible room which was clean and serviced every day.
Bathroom was clean, but my partner noticed a slight leak to the toilet and that the sink unit was a bit loose from the wall. This he reported on checkout as both were minor issues for our stay.
Breakfast selection was quite good but I didn’t like the dispenser for the jam marmalade and honey. As it could get messy and selection was limited. The cereal selection area also got messy due to the design of the bowls meant people were spilling over the side when getting their selection.
Mugs were really not wide enough to catch the variations of the coffee machine. On two occasions I had to try again as the cappuccino mixture missed and went down the side of the mug.
The main problem is that the accessible room had a small queen bed and this was not quite adequate.
I think in an accessible room where the partner has to use a bathroom not suitable for them they should be able to get some comfort in the sleeping area and a king size bed would be more appropriate.
Parking was excellent if a little expensive for a blue badge holder.
