I had an underwhelming experience at Charlotte House Hotel during my stay. While I appreciated the historical charm of the building, the cleanliness and maintenance of my room were seriously lacking. The location is great for exploring Lincoln, but with the room in such poor condition, it really overshadowed my visit.

Rooms

5.0

My room was dirty and smelly, with mould on the coffee machine and stains on the furniture. The bed had hair on the pillows, and I couldn't take my shoes off due to the state of the carpet.

Service

5.0

The service was disappointing, especially when I raised my concerns. The reception staff, particularly Millie, were unhelpful and rude, and the manager failed to address the issues properly.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is convenient, right near Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral. It's perfect for exploring the historic quarter, which is a big plus.

Dining

Breakfast was basic, and though I was expecting a hot option, it was just cereal and toast. I found it very limited and not up to standard.

Facilities

Parking was an additional charge and inconvenient since there’s no lift. The overall facilities felt outdated and needed maintenance.

I had a pretty decent stay at Charlotte House Hotel. The location is spot on for exploring Lincoln, especially being so close to the castle and cathedral. My room was spacious and had this great view, but the furniture felt a bit dated and worn. While the friendly staff made me feel welcome, I noticed that some areas could use a bit of TLC to really shine.

Rooms

7.0

My room was spacious with a cozy vibe; however, some furniture felt a bit tired. The large bathroom had good water pressure, which made my stay more comfortable.

Service

8.0

Staff were friendly and super helpful, making check-in a breeze. They even walked me to the parking area, but it did cost an extra £10, which was a bit of a surprise.

Location

9.0

Location couldn't be better! I was just a short walk from Lincoln Castle and Cathedral, plus plenty of great restaurants nearby, which was a huge plus.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was basic but freshly prepared. I enjoyed the croissants, though I wished there were more options available, especially since I couldn't find much variety with breakfast without going next door.

Facilities

5.0

While the hotel had some charming features, it really needs a bit of maintenance attention. There was peeling wallpaper and worn carpets in common areas, which impacted the overall feel.

I had a mixed experience at Charlotte House Hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the castle and cathedral, and I really appreciated the spaciousness and cleanliness of the room. However, the old decor and some maintenance issues dampened my stay. I found great service from the staff, but it didn't fully compensate for the shortcomings in my room.

Rooms

7.0

The room was spacious and beautifully clean, with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom featuring a double shower cubicle. However, I noticed the decor was a bit tired, with some issues like a worn headboard. The issues with cleanliness in one of the rooms I observed are concerning too.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly and attentive, providing quick assistance when I encountered a problem with my initial room. However, I also experienced some difficulties when addressing another issue with the unclean room, which the staff didn't seem to handle well.

Location

The hotel's location is great, right next to the castle and cathedral, making it very convenient for sightseeing. It's a central spot that adds significant value to the stay.

While there is no hotel parking, nearby public parking is available, which was reasonably priced. The overall facilities were adequate for my needs.

5.0/10

I had high expectations for my stay at Charlotte House Hotel, especially given its charming appearance and central location. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by a very disruptive noise issue and disappointing breakfast options. Though the staff were friendly and apologized for my discomfort, these factors made my stay less enjoyable than anticipated.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was spacious, but it had several issues like a broken toilet seat and grubby carpets that needed attention. I felt it was in desperate need of refurbishment, which was disheartening.

Service

5.0

The staff members I encountered were friendly and attentive, which was a highlight of my stay. However, their lack of presence during the early morning hours when I needed help was frustrating.

Location

6.0

The hotel is in a great spot, walking distance to attractions like Lincoln Cathedral and the Castle. However, finding the hotel initially was a bit tricky due to the lack of signage.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was quite disappointing with limited options, being only continental and not served until 8:30 am. A cooked breakfast was offered at an additional cost at a cafe next door, which I found quite inconvenient.

Facilities

5.0

While some facilities were adequate, such as the bar area, the hotel felt quite tired overall, and features like room care (missing tea supplies) left a lot to be desired.

My stay at Charlotte House Hotel was quite enjoyable. The character of the hotel really stood out, and the friendly staff made me feel welcome throughout my visit. The location was excellent, being near Lincoln Castle and other attractions, which allowed for easy sightseeing. However, I did notice that some areas of the hotel could use a bit of a refresh, particularly in the rooms, which is something the new owners are looking to address soon.

Rooms

8.0

My room was spacious with a charming decor, featuring a comfortable four-poster bed and a lovely walk-in shower. While I appreciated the size and comfort, I noticed some minor issues like the pipes making a constant hum and the blinds not blocking out all the light.

Service

9.0

The staff team was wonderfully friendly and attentive, making my experience more pleasant. They were helpful in addressing my needs, although I would have appreciated more information during check-in regarding breakfast options and checkout times.

Location

10.0

The hotel’s location was ideal—just across the street from Lincoln Castle and within walking distance to the cathedral and other eateries. This made exploring the historic area of Lincoln very convenient for me.

Dining

I enjoyed a varied continental breakfast that was beautifully presented, though I personally would have preferred a hot breakfast option. The option for a cafe nearby was a nice touch, allowing for flexibility during my stay.

Facilities

Parking was available for a small fee, which I found reasonable for a city center location. The hospitality and the historic charm of the building really added to the overall atmosphere of my stay.
