Note that we've only stayed here off season (January) so the summer experience may differ from ours. This is our 3rd year coming and we'll be back again!
Wonderful old world hotel but with modern touchs. Great value. 5 star service from the staff (although we have noticed a small slip over our 3 years of visits in staff attitude). ...
We originally booked a "Manor Guest Room" but we were given a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful & romantic top-floor, one bedroom suite with egyptian cotton and silk linens, huge rain shower and original clawfoot tub, plasma televisions and beautiful views. The service from the front desk, bellman and bartender were superb and the ...
The Estate section of the hotel was recently redone May 2007. New EVERYTHING. Nice rooms. Great service, good dinner & breakfast, fun bar.

Too tight for family of four!

Paid $466 for one night for a tiny room overlooking the parking lot. The shower would not turn off, the tub would not drain during showers and we were kept up all night by the ice and vending machines in the hall not to mention the fact that you could hear every movement of the person above. The bathroom was so small with a little sink outside in ...
It has been awhile since we enjoyed being at the Viking. We loved the location, the breakfast room, nearness to the center and the fun of walking around Bellvue Ave.

Very disappointing

We recently came back from a 3-day stay. Our room was extremely small. We had a beautiful four-poster bed (that had a spider walking across it) and that was all you could fit except for an armoire. The bathroom was so small the toilet (which faced the sink) was 5 inches away from the sink. The bed sank in the middle. The next day they gave us ...
We were told if you ordered on line you would get the cheapest rooms they had. We paid $75 per night they asked if we would like the historic end or the newer end. We took the newer end.

Will never return

The historic guest rooms are simply awful. First, we were supposed to have a queen bed but received a double and the room was so tiny and dingy that only a thin chest of drawers fit. We switched to a second room that had a queen bed but the deadbolt on the door was broken. This room was only slightly bigger and could barely fit a chair. Plus the ...
We booked two rooms for the weekend of the Newport Jazz Festival. The Viking was the only hotel available on this very popular weekend, but we had heard that the Viking had an excellent reputation.
BIG mistake! This is, hands down, the worst hotel in which I have ever had the misfortune to stay.
