Lincoln (Canwick) hotel

A little tired from the outside, but ideal location to visit the Bomber Command Centre, a two minute walk away, and Lincoln Central only 7/8 minutes and walkable. The rooms were fine what you expect at this sort of Hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. As well the air conditioning was effective on a very hot stay. The Beefeater Restaurant is adjacent and served the usual food, very good , and excellent Breakfast for £9. What I must say here, on our visit on Friday the 27th June, the serving team of what should have been 5, were reduced to 4 by somebody pulling a sick absence. The team of now 4, led by Johnny and Lilly, the other two I didn't get their names, were run off their feet and did a brilliant job, great credit to them all.

Terrible service in restaurant. Dismissive attitude of hotel staff. Kitchen broke and no hot breakfast. Hotel smells

Great welcome, comfortable stay, nice & quiet. But what made it was the service from Jemma, I left my expensive straighteners in our room, checked out, went home to the other side of the country & didn't realise until a day later. Rang up to see if they had them. Jemma rang me back & offered to post them to me. Thought I'd never see them again & they are now back with me. Faith in humanity fully restored with the actions of fantastic Jemma, couldn't ask for any more! Well done Premier Inn top recruitment there!

The Premier Inn Hotel at Lincoln (Canwick) is situated beside a busy road junction about a mile-and-a-half south of the city centre, on a hilltop surrounded by rural farmland, adjacent to the International Bomber Command Centre museum. There are plenty of parking spaces for guests arriving by car. For those reliant upon public transport, the hotel is on a direct road 'bus route from the transport interchange but services are infrequent and non-existent on Sundays and Public Holidays. I timed the walk from the hotel to Lincoln Cathedral at 35 minutes but that involved pushing myself really hard, and coming back to Canwick the climb out of the Witham Valley is quite steep! My en-suite room was clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious with a lovely double bed in which I slept like a log. There was plenty of hot water for a shower in the mornings and all of the electrical appliances in my room - hairdryer, kettle and television - worked as intended. As usual, extra supplies of tea, coffee and milk can be collected from Reception. Checking-in and checking out were both very easy and it was good to see free A4 sized maps of Lincoln and local road 'bus timetables available for guests to take away. The staff were all pleasant and helpful, giving good advice about where and when to catch a 'bus down to the city and what to see (Cathedral and Castle) whilst I was there. Breakfast is taken in the adjacent Beefeater Restaurant where I enjoyed the usual fare of cereals, fresh fruit, toast, hot drinks and a full English fry-up, including tasty black pudding in addition to the usual bacon, eggs (scrambled or fried), hash browns, baked beans and mushrooms. On two out of three evenings I dined in the Beefeater restaurant as well - seemingly very popular with the locals - and found the waiting staff to be polite, helpful and efficient. The Wine List was actually quite good with some lovely single-varieties available by the glass as well as by the bottle! In my room the free wireless internet speeds were 0.9 Mbps (Down) and 0.4 Mbps (Up) with a Latency of 34 ms. There were plenty of 3-Pin, 240 Volt electrical sockets for my laptop computer, camcorder and battery charger. I'd happily stay here again even though I don't own a car and am therefore reliant upon public transport to get to and from the hotel!

Had a lovely nights sleep and nice breakfast. Staff were really friendly, especially Jemma who checked us in and was there again in the morning, still pleasant and smiling
