It is near the Norman Castle, built in 1068 by William the Conqueror. The hotel is a 10-minute ride from Hykeham and 55 km from Humberside. The main bus station is located near the railway station.

“This hotel's prime position beside the Cathedral in Lincoln's old town offers an upmarket experience. Locally sourced ingredients highlight the culinary offerings, while spaces such as the Royal Courtyard and King Richard II rooms accommodate gatherings. I particularly appreciate the blend of 14th-century architecture with modern amenities.”

I was pretty frustrated. the room was tiny, i mean, REALLY small. also, the wifi was a joke. It kept disconnecting. it was like i was back in the stone age. i couldn't even stream a movie without constant buffering, unacceptable in this day and age! the small room and unreliable wifi really put a damper on things.
