Small enough to feel more like a bed and breakfast, the Lincoln House Hotel is quaint and feels old fashioned but with clean rooms and stylishly modern bathrooms. The staff were incredibly helpful, breakfast was delicious and fresh, and the beds were extremely comfortable. It is a bit far from the attractions in Cardiff and the train station (a good twenty to thirty minute walk), but well worth the walk. Worth every penny.

We stayed for four nights and enjoyed the proximity of the hotel to the city centre and the cafes/bars/restaurants in Pontcanna. We had a room at the very top of the hotel which was exceptionally quiet and the stairs gave a good workout after a wonderful breakfast each morning. The hotel was very clean and the availability of secure parking is an added bonus - we weren't informed that the gate was locked at night so be aware of this if not planning on returning to the hotel until late. No trouble, just good to be aware in advance so as not to inconvenience anyone.
Recommended.

We chose this accommodation based on the positive reviews, website photos, price and location.

The free wifi and free parking were pluses, the breakfast staff were friendly and the food was good. Location was handy to laundromat and good restaurants, but we had to find these ourselves on the internet.

However, we were taken aback by the curt receptionist on arrival and by our room- a super king- which was up three flights of stairs and the size of a shoe box. It was incredibly hot and stuffy, the window only able to open a fraction. We had to attempt sleep with the fan on all night.

We booked a super king room thinking it would look something like the lovely room with bay window shown as an example on the website. No such luck! Ours was an attic room with sloping roof and two singles pushed together. It certainly wasn't worth the money we paid.

On bringing our concerns to the receptionists notice we were given a very blunt response. She basically said if you want a bigger room then pay the extra for it! No apologies for misrepresentation whatsoever. We have travelled widely and have never been treated so rudely. We were tired, so didn't pursue the matter any further, but were certainly not happy as we felt we had been deceived by the website photos.

The building itself is charming but inherits all of the problems that go with an old structure- creaky floorboards, rabbit warren layout, odd steps on the landings,no air conditioning , poor ventilation, musty smell in common drawing room, steep narrow stairs, dark small rooms.

This is not a hotel- private or otherwise- it is just a B&B minus the friendly and helpful hostess that B&Bs are usually renowned for. Looks much lighter, brighter and spacious in photos on the website than in reality, so beware! Cannot recommend. We could have stayed in a 4 star hotel with air con and elevator for the same price- oh! And with a friendly, helpful,receptionist who would upgrade without question if we mentioned we were not happy with our room!

Room tip: Lower levels may be cooler and have fewer stairs to negotiate. Avoid the attic!!!!!

We stayed for three nights in Cardiff during our recent trip to Wales. I had looked for an affordable accommodation not too far from city centre and with free parking, internet and breakfast. Lincoln House ticked all the boxes.

It is a pleasant boutique hotel with all the modern amenities and tastefully decorated. Car park can be quite a tight squeeze if the hotel is fully occupied but off street parking is possible. Like all old Victorian houses, no lifts were available so it was quite a struggle to lug our heavy suitcases up and down the two flights of stairs. Our room faced the front of the hotel, and we were woken up by traffic noises on Cathedral Road each morning.

Breakfast is more than adequate with a choice of freshly cooked items including full Welsh breakfast (our first introduction to laverbread here!) The city centre is just an easy 10-15min stroll away through the pleasant Bute Park. We are happy with our choice and would recommend Lincoln House to those who wish to be away from the hustle and bustle of a city centre hotel.
