Great pub atmosphere

Second time we have stayed. Lovely hotel, with great staff and a lovely restaurant. Very busy pub but a lovely atmosphere. Parking is tight, meant to be for hotel guests only but we noticed a lot of people parking there and then walking off into town. We will be back when we stay in Lincoln again.

Great location and easy parking. Everywhere I needed to go to was in easy walking disatance. Lovely quiet, spacious room and really comfortable bed - I slept like a log! Menu choices ok and drink selection very good, with 0% alcohol options available - all at reasonable prices.

Fabulous stay at the duke William

Another great stay in the duke William, great location, lovely clean room , the staff are really friendly and helpful
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was well appointed, spacious, and very clean with thoughtful touches including homemade cookies, and chocolates. The Tea/coffee station and toiletries were a good-quality and welcome addition. The big bathtub provided a much needed soak after a day traversing up and down steep hill. The bed was massive (though we found the mattress quite hard). The staff were lovely and helpful, and the whole building was very nicely decorated and kept. Breakfast was standard English fare and the kitchen were able to make dietary amendments for our party’s intolerances/allergies with no trouble. Wonderful location in Uphill Lincoln, plenty of parking on site. We would have liked to make use of the electric vehicle charger however sadly, someone had parked a petrol BMW in the space preventing this.
