Location hotel room was clean.
Good in the pub was mediocre, breakfast which was an addiction cost was disappointing lack of staff and general cleanliness of the pub wasn’t very nice
Lovely rooms excellent friendly welcoming staff, great breakfast 😀
Signposted better as Google maps isn't clear
The roome was very clean and convenient. Parking right outside. Breakfast was lovely with a good choice and we ate at Marstons the previous evening which also ha a good menu.
nothing really. second time we've visted and always goes very smoothly. Advisable to book a table if you're there at the weekend, but booking and check in very easy.
Convenient for Lincoln Showground

Lovely and peaceful overnight stay

Breakfast is always nice and so are the evening meals Matt and Claire do a fantastic job running the pub and Hotel rooms
Nothing really
Friendly staff good location.
The hotel is separate from. The pub, tge canal out the back was a beautifully quiet walk
Everything is always the best at this hotel. Staff, food, room. Always top class
Nothing
Good food choice
Für eine oder zwei Nächte ist es ok, da der Preis auch wirklich günstig ist. Der Pup ist direkt daneben, was das Essen und trinken leicht macht. Parkplätze sind reichlich vorhanen.
Die Sauberkeit lässt leider zu wünschen übrig. Zum Einen müssten die Flure mal geputzt und gesaugt werden, zum Anderen ist am Frühstücksbuffet das Geschirr nicht immer sauber und an dem Kaffeeautomaten macht es irgendwann keinen Spaß mehr sich was zu holen, so verspritzt wie der ist.
The service and evening meals were great. The room was comfortable and clean and the location was superb.

Proximity to Lincoln. Parking on site. Functional accommodation.
Waiting at the bar to check in took a long time.
It’s comfortable clean and staff are great
Nothing, we have stayed here a few times and always excellent
Been loads of times....lovely setting and good food

Food and live music
My car was damaged by another car in car park
Friendly staff-food was good
The incorrect property address appears on the Booking.com -apparently they have addressed it s few times with Booking.com -we got lost and spent ages finding the property as we were not locals
Ideal setting for the hot weather we experienced. Close to bus stop for easy access to Lincoln. Open all day for food and drink. Quiet and clean rooms with air conditioning.
Outdoor table clearing between visitors.
All meals were very good. Staff very helpful.
WiFi was a bit on and off. Room was very dusty and and got on to our clothes and items.
Easy parking, lots of room in hotel room
Chips in bath, soap dispenser not great quality and liquid inside smelly. Bed not very comfy
The location is stunning, and very easy to get into Lincoln
Beds
Staff smoking outside our room down below and smoke came in the room so had to close windows Cleaners were polite Breakfast was terrible at the pub
Rooms were good with comfortable beds and great breakfast! It's also a nice place for an afternoon drink and dinner. Close to Lincoln and offers free parking. If we are in the area will definately stay there again!
Nothing to complain about.
Quite rooms nice food in restaurant
Nice rooms
Excellent
Staff were very friendly and helpful - whenever you interacted with any of them. Rooms are no frills but are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good for the money. Location was excellent
Corridors and common areas are not properly cleaned regularly and it shows. Evening meals were hit and miss with delays of over an hour for food to be delivered. Evident that they are short staffed at times. Quality of food after such a long wait was not always good enough.
Great stay overall! The standout feature for us was the kids' play area—it kept our ones entertained and made our family trip so much easier. Would definitely recommend for families.
Location good for Burton Waters Marina.
Almost three times the price of when we last stayed.
Staff where very nice, helpful Food was good
The location on booking.com is WRONG very frustrating took over an hour to find it as nowhere near it 😡😡😡😡😡
Location
Bed a bit small
Comfy, quiet and lovely location.
Buses were infrequent.
Great location for Lincoln with lovely river walk at rear of hotel., Clean comfy rooms, Great breakfast selection. Helpful staff.
Issue with air con system which required engineer but beyond hotels control and dealt with by manager and we were compensated for inconvenience.
The Hotel was lovely, the food was very good, both evening meal and breakfast, the staff were helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable.
The hotel was a little difficult to find but this was because of a fault on my Satnav, not the hotel or Marstons fault.
The location and the restaurant.
The cleanliness of the bathroom in the hotel room wasn't great and the restaurant inside and out seemed tired
Everything
Nothing
Unbeatable location with everything you could possibly need right on-site.
The only minor downside was the evening dinner wait, though it was completely understandable given how popular and busy the restaurant was.
Very nice location close to the canal and to nice walks. Pub was perfect for food ,especially breakfast.
Pub was very busy in the evening.
Marstons Inn liegt recht ruhig außerhalb von Lincoln. Man kann am Kanal oder der Marina spazieren gehen. Das Frühstück ist gut und man hat unterschiedliche Optionen. Ein Tipp, wer kein warmes englisches Frühstück möchte kommt günstiger, wenn das Frühstück jeden morgen bezahlt wird und nicht mit dem Zimmer gebucht. Das Personal an der Rezeption und im Pub war auch unter Stress stets sehr hilfsbereit.
Wir hatten einmal Abendessen im Pub. Das fanden wir nicht gut, eher Fast-Food-Niveau. Ist aber sicher Geschmackssache.

Nothing

Coffee macjine needed a bit of a cleans
The staff were lovely - very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. The continental breakfast was very nice. Good place to stay if you don't want to be in the city. It's easy to access.
Stuff was very professional and nice. Location beautiful as well.
There was dust everywhere in the room. Windows dirty. It should be cleaned more regularly.
Price, good for a Saturday in Lincoln. Location, next to pub, close ish to town. The manager, on the ball.
It's a bit tired, need a bigger bed.
Location. The staff - very helpful but few in number
2 night stay - 1st night room infested with ants. Only room left had been flooded from bathroom by previous occupant so stunk of damp. Also , nephew left usb stick in television but staff (who were contacted in good time) were very unhelpful and the usb is presumed lost.
Room was clean and spacious. Was set back from the road but there was road noise through the night.
The signage to the property was poor. We drove past it heading south, just glimpsed it through the trees after we turned back. Breakfast was poor. Ordered smashed avocado on toast but it was supermarket guacamole squirted onto to cheap white toasted bread.
Excellent value for money. Convenient for us, travelling to Suffolk from the North West. Breakfast good.
Not quite as smart as when we have stayed before. Outside of rooms, the building could do with a clean - first impressions are important. The breakfast area could have been cleaner, and flies were unwelcome - it was very hot, so I understand it wasn't easy.
Good
Food and service were awful
Great location to walk along the river to Lincoln. Nice bar in the marina.
The drinks are overpriced in the bar
Room great bar great food great staff great
Sometimes food a bit slow coming but that is due to the popularity of the place
The breakfast was good except a lot of things ran out ie no bread for toast on first day, ran out, no milk second day for quite a while. Staff pleasant and car parking good
The booking.com email with directions link from it took you 20mins the wrong side of canal into a field, on speaking with receptionist when finally got there she said this happens all the time. Frustrating after a long drive. There was blood spots on wall in room and bathroom, took photos of want to see, loads of other marks on walls, no tea or milk either drink facilities, light next to bed didn't work and mold around bath taps. Also the door keys didn't work very well, had to stand for ages flicking the card on the door till it finally opened. Also radiator on wall in hallway hanging off. Really can't believe I paid £230 for two nights there. Really disappointed.

Great location. Rooms clean and as advertised. Pub/restaurant available for meals. Everything needed was provided.
Car park outside hotel was meant to be for people who were staying over but was used by anyone, so sometimes parking nearby was not available. Also disturbed every morning from 8.00am onwards by people inflating paddle boards right outside windows. Not very relaxing.
Convenient location
Key cards were a bit problematic
Lovely place. Comfy beds. Clean bathroom. Clean apart from windowsills Nice pub nearby. 👌 Would return
Good selection but cooked breakfast not so good, scrambled egg and beans watery sausage hard and reheated
Great breakfast, great location, nice clean room with comfy bed.
Great location. We enjoyed lovely walks along the Canal. Rooms are clean with a comfy bed. Staff were friendly and meals were good value for money. Breakfast very nice with a good choice. Nice outside beer garden area with a chill out atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon 😁

The hotel and grounds were clean ,quiet and well maintained. Some establishments I’ve stayed in left a lot to be desired but I was impressed with this hotel.
Clean, well maintained and the staff, from reception to domestic were friendly and welcoming
Beautiful peaceful location. Close enough to travel around in the car. We made a day travelling to Skegness and up to Mablethorpe. Very clean accommodation. Tea and coffee readily available, just ask inside the pub for additional tea bags etc for the room

Good breakfast (Extra cost). Room was clean. Very good price.
Lighting very dim. First floor room, no lift.
Great location, quiet and very comfortable. 2nd visit for a stop off after travelling from Europe
Fabulous location with everything we needed on the doorstep.
Great location for visiting Lincoln. Hotel room clean and efficient. Inn served lovely food. Hotel separate from the inn allows for easy movement between the two. Lots of outside ground space for sitting in the sun. Beautiful canal walk available to get into Lincoln City centre. Nearby marina with welcoming bars. Free parking a bonus!
Location was great
The miserable lady on the bar ( I think she may have been polish) Long face and somewhat rude
Nice location. Great food. Good entertainment. And Good night's sleep. Ourselves & our children would come again.
The location was lovely.
Poor cleanliness, breakfast was very disappointing and it felt at times that we were an imposition to the staff.
Location was good with good clean accommodation

Fabulous hotel and great entertainment outside in the garden

Good location near a canal.good for a walk. Peaceful.

No clean and drinks was expensive
The paid breakfast was substantial, although a little bland. Other meals on their menu were delicious. Pub is popular, during our 2 night stay there was a car show in the carpark, and lots of locals visiting. We chose the location because they had air-con and travelling during summer it was appreciated. The town of Lincoln is lovely, we thought a mini version of York, and quieter!
Value for money Good start to the day
My mum was poorly this morning and the lady who was working her breakfast shift was fantastic. Thank you very much 😊
N/A
Clean, quiet rooms with comfortable beds. Excellent play area for the children.
A lack of gluten free options at breakfast - I have coeliac disease and found there was nothing I could safely eat for breakfast.
Clean and tidy
Having to go to the pub to book in
The bed was very comfy! Clean
Staff non particolarmente di aiuto e disponibile.
Lovely location, plenty of parking, near bus route. The staff are hard working, lovely people. Air conditioned room with huge, comfortable bed.
The bottom sheet was too small for the mattress.
Great location. Welcoming staff and very clean and tidy.

Location was fabulous, rooms lovely and clean and comfortable
Très bon point d’étape pour une nuit. Lincoln est une très jolie petite ville. Équipement et chambre suffisante pour une nuit. Bonne insonorisation
Really nice location close to our race event but away from the main roads so was a nice spot. Staff where helpful and friendly despite having to run the bar and restaurant area alongside the accommodation
Could imagine it would be busy in the hight of summer but it’s good overall
Location and friendly staff
