Tennyson

The Self-Checkin was efficient. Breakfast was a little bit simple.

Very easy to get to.Rooms were nice and big. Very clean.Would book again here if we were to come to Lincoln again

Stayed here for 1 night and found it to be perfect for our stay. For what we paid it was definitely value for money. It’s in a great location. Walkable into Lincoln city centre or like a £5 Uber to the top end. The room was nice and spacious with a lovely modern bathroom. The bed was also comfy. It was nice and quiet which suited us. Breakfast was a bit strange, but a nice small addition. Few slices of bread, couple of small cereal boxes, jam, water, milk etc. Didn’t really use the common areas but they looked nice and we would have used them if we had more time. There is limited parking and the car park is tight but it’s fine. We asked if we could check in about 30 mins early and we received a quick response that it wouldn’t be a problem. Messages were responded to quickly and professionally, great service. The directions on how to get the key and find the room were also spot on. We didn’t have any issues it worked great. Would definitely recommend for a short stay in Lincoln. Thanks!

I had no idea the place was self-service until I got an email with an entry code. Warning to self - read the reviews before you book. It made the atmosphere weirdly quiet and eerie for a woman on her own. This was more than made up for by the noise from a very busy main road as I had a ground floor window facing the street. The room was stiflingly hot but raising the blinds and opening the windows seemed rather risky! The blinds also did not adequately keep out the streetlight at night. The manky continental breakfast made me laugh out loud. A box of cornflakes and two slices of bread(one was the crust) in a plastic bag. An utterly dreary place. Avoid!

We were not made aware when booking for 2 nights that this was an unmanned guest house. We only realised this when we received a code for the key safe the day before. Upon entering the property the hall and staircase smelled unpleasant. Our allocated room was dingy, had a broken blind and grubby well-worn bedcovers. Breakfast appeared to be some bread etc left in a plastic bag in the room. We were disgusted, we decided not to stay and managed to book elsewhere. NOT RECOMMEND.

Although the room was clean, we found the whole experience disappointing. We paid almost £100 for a double room for one night and felt it was totally overpriced. The room was of a similar standard to a room in a hostel. The window had no adequate curtains, (just net curtains) so we had to hang an (unclean) blanket to block out the light. To advertise a continental breakfast as included is completely unfair. It consisted of 2 boxes of cereal, slices of bread in a plastic bag, a couple of yoghurts and 2 small slices of cheese. I'm afraid that we would not stay again and would not recommend Tennyson to friends or family.

Arrived at the room at 7pm to be greeted with dirty unmade bed linen, used towels and mugs for drinks. After calling management helpline for asked to cope for one night and cleaners will attend at 8am in the morning. After saying no good to me and 8pm by this time, asked me to locate alternative accommodation for night even thou id booked two nights. Disgusting service and very rude on phone. I have travelled very much in my life and never received this kind of poor service at a hotel / B&B.

This was the first time we had used a self service hotel, we were impressed with the facilities, it had a communal kitchen and lounge the bedroom was comfortable and clean, we had a fridge which had the continental breakfast in and on (which you were asked to eat in the kitchen). If and when we go to Lincoln again this hotel will be looked at first.

Good Points - Rooms are clean. Plenty of tea and coffee and nice to have proper milk instead of UHT. Bad Points - cleaners came but did not replenish toilet roll (husband had to go and buy some) or breakfast bits. The breakfast isn't great, you get a couple of slices of bread, small tin of beans, butter, yoghurt. Nothing was replenished for our second day.
