What guests think
At Lincoln House Private Hotel, travellers highlight a warm welcome, a walkable location near Bute Park and Cardiff Castle, and the charm of this period property with generally comfortable, quiet rooms.
Cooked-to-order breakfasts receive strong praise for quality and portions. On-site parking is valued but limited, and spaces can be hard to secure at busy times. Recurring drawbacks include no lift, some small or warm rooms in hot weather, occasional traffic noise, and bits of dated decor or minor maintenance issues. Expect a friendly, characterful stay with good food and convenient access to the city, balanced by a few practical compromises.

Very nice hotel in a great location on the main road into the city centre. Was lovely and quiet during our stay. The house is decorated in period and has a majestic air. Best full veggie breakfast I've ever had, and the waiting staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. Our room was comfortable with a shiny new contemporary-style bathroom. It turned cold but a electric radiator was provided. Free (limited) car park at the rear. Really liked it here, would book again without hestitation.

Hotel itself was lovely. However Expedia advertise the property with free parking, which is essentially false advertising. What they don't tell you is that there are very limited spaces available on a first come first served basis - and when it's busy for events in the area you can expect to drive around for an hour or more to find somewhere to park a 10-15 minute walk away at best. So we were let down massively by Expedia here. They should have used the information as per the hotel website. We would not have booked this hotel had we known that parking would not be available.

Everything you want in a B and B from the welcome to the great breakfast. We only have 2 concerns, the room was rather hot so would be really hot middle of summer. One of the reasons we booked as it advertised onsite parking. We were sent an email after booking that advised people who booked direct with them and not through a third party like hotels.com had priority, this left a bad taste for us, otherwise we would highly recommend. Best breakfast offered.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hotel has heartfelt staff who made us feel welcome. The accommodation was cozy and comfortable, and we loved having a nice breakfast served right to our table each morning. The hotel itself is in a beautiful building and neighborhood, with the added convenience of having parking available. It's in a fantastic location, with several nice restaurants and a supermarket nearby. We especially enjoyed being able to easily walk to Bute Park, and from there, on to Cardiff Castle and the old town. We would happily stay here again on our next visit!

Terrific hotel on beautiful Cathdral Rd. Half block to Bute Park with trails to the Castle and downtown. Beautiful spacious room. Wonderful breakfast served on first floor. Only difficulty might be the absence of a lift so had to carry luggage up. NearbyCastle with its Animal Wall worth seeing and Fish n chips from Blue Bell Pub across from the castle a bonus.

Lincoln House hotel is a well located property in Cardiff. It's walking distance to Bute Park, the castle, and central shopping and dining area. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast, included in room rate, is good. The rooms are spacious, but decor is tired and needs updating. Towels are thin, no robes provided, paint is peeling, corners are dusty. Expedia rates are significantly higher than if booked directly with hotel.

The room was comfortable but for what we paid, and I understand that the prices were bumped up for the rugby, there were long, dark hairs on the bathroom tiles and at the end of the bath, no shelf to put bottles on in the shower and the loo leaked. The fan in the room is covered in dust on the blade and the casing. Breakfast was great but the two young waitresses maybe need to keep the chatting to a minimum when guests can overhear

Older building with character features, however with that comes a broken sleep due to creaking floors and walls above and around you and single pane windows allowing traffic noise to travel from the busy main road outside. Just a heads up for those wanting a truly peaceful night’s sleep.

I loved staying here for three nights. The staff were friendly, helpful, and available. The room was spotless, as was the bathroom, and the large windows were lovely. Air con would have made this even better, given the warm weather, but they advised that historic status prohibited their ability to add an air con. Easily walkable to the core pedestrian area of Cardiff and many good restaurants are nearby.

We had a free upgrade for our anniversary (I think!) and our room was wonderful. About 20 minute stroll to town centre, 35 mins stroll to Cardiff Bay. Several pubs and restaurants immediately in the vicinity if you didn’t want to go to town. Can’t wait to stay again!

We stayed at the Lincoln for a reunion meal at a restuarant within easy walking distance. I called the Hotel a few weeks earlier to change the room type Expedia had given us and the reception did this quickly. The Hotel did have adequate free parking when we arrived much to our relief and there seemed to be several spaces available. Friends had booked hotels in the centre and were fined for entry to the centre and could not even drop off luggage at the hotel! The walk to the centre was fairly near even for us in our seventies. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet and the breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and efficient. The reception staff were very helpful. They sent out an email for me and made some photcopies for me with no quibble or charge. On arriving home I discoverd my phone was lost and Carl in particular made every effort to attempt to locate it both in the room and the car park. I don't think a coporate hotel would do this. Hence the 5 stars

It was an ideal place for our stay in Cardiff, 5 min walk from the cricket ground. Hotel was clean and tidy, comfortable and did a wonderful breakfast to set us up for the day. My wife left her car keys spare set, in the room and reception called us to let us know and they packed them up and got them returned to us via courier service. Would we stay again, most definitely. Thanks for everything. 5 ⭐️ rating from us.

Additionally, staff went out of their way to notify, pack and ship a computer tablet that we left behind. The manager Carl was professional, competent and just plain nice!

A fantastic weekend in Cardiff at the Lincoln House Hotel. We were late arriving and David was amazing, even calling us en-route to check we were ok. Our room was enormous with a four poster bed, superb. The breakfast was great and cooked to order perfectly. We will definitely want to stay again when we visit Cardiff. Paul & Jane

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hotel has heartfelt staff who made us feel welcome. The accommodation was cozy and comfortable, and we loved having a nice breakfast served right to our table each morning. The hotel itself is in a beautiful building and neighborhood, with the added convenience of having parking available. It's in a fantastic location, with several nice restaurants and a supermarket nearby. We especially enjoyed being able to easily walk to Bute Park, and from there, on to Cardiff Castle and the old town. We would happily stay here again on our next visit!

Terrific hotel on beautiful Cathdral Rd. Half block to Bute Park with trails to the Castle and downtown. Beautiful spacious room. Wonderful breakfast served on first floor. Only difficulty might be the absence of a lift so had to carry luggage up. NearbyCastle with its Animal Wall worth seeing and Fish n chips from Blue Bell Pub across from the castle a bonus.

Very disappointed with this hotel. The bed linen needs a serious upgrade. The hotel is advertised as having a Bar. It does not have a Bar. The choice of breakfast is very limited. It does not offer continental breakfast. In general the hotel needs to be refurbished.

Everything you want in a B and B from the welcome to the great breakfast. We only have 2 concerns, the room was rather hot so would be really hot middle of summer. One of the reasons we booked as it advertised onsite parking. We were sent an email after booking that advised people who booked direct with them and not through a third party like hotels.com had priority, this left a bad taste for us, otherwise we would highly recommend. Best breakfast offered.
