“Classic service. Room furnishings a bit worn. Very close to the fun areas of the town, but in a nicely quiet area.”

  • The location is good, walking distance to a lot places.
  • Room is very small and the parking situation.

“They gave you the smalles room in the hotel and the bed made noise every time we turned or moved. Bathroom is very small. Overall, we don't like the room at all. We felt like we were staying in someone's kid's room or nanny's room.”

  • The main section of the hotel was nice, liked the roof top music/bar.
  • Pool
    was not clean and could not swim in it.

“Upon checking in, was assigned two rooms in the Newport section of the hotel which is not remodeled and feels like a two star hotel. Bathroom had original tub, carpet soiled, beds were uncomfortable. Asked to be upgraded which we were. Since we were too early to check into our rooms, went to the beach nearby. When returning, were assigned two rooms down the hall from one another, a problem since we were two adults and two children. Upgraded rooms in the main section of the hotel. Since I was upset about not being near one another, they dropped the upgrade fee. Okay, that was fine. Second day, cloudy so we went to the pool. Went into the hot tub, whatever it was, it was also in the garbage pail by the clean towels. So grossed out, everyone had to take showers right away. Complained to the hotel desk and was assured in was seaweed.”

  • Just a wonderful high end hotel in every respect.
  • Very expensive dining options.

“The Hotel Viking is a beautiful property. The staff was extremely accommodating in every respect, the room was fine with a very large LG high definition TV with a super super picture. Even the car valets were extremely friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.”

  • Good location.
  • Very overpriced. Staff is very unprofessional.

“Very nice hotel. Some of the rooms are not updated. Staff did not what you would expect from a luxury hotel. Not very attentive. Did not follow through and where overall rude. The hotel is way overpriced for what it offers.”

  • I love the friendly staff, bed and bedding were comfortable and quality of the air conditioning.
  • walking to the rooms, although very well marked, was still confusing

“Hotel Viking is a clean, staff friendly hotel with a great location. It has a quaint old fashion feeling but it has all the modern amenities. The guest rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and made with clean linens, which included a bottom sheet, soft blanket and topped with a down comforter covered in a duvet. The fitness center and pool were well air conditioned with a TV and great work-out machines. I loved staying here.”

  • The wait staff was very accomodating and friendly.
  • I
    thought the extra charge for parking was unneccessary.

“Very well situated, can walk to the dock area. Quiet. Rooms were nice overall.”

  • The location was perfect for touring Newport on foot.
  • Split bathroom and sink areas.

“This hotel was beautifully renovated and still has an exterior that resembles and fits in with the Newport mansions that are nearby. Parking was convenient but at an extra fee which adds to the cost of your room. Rooms still need some updating but were comfortable.”

  • Staff I thought was very friendly.
  • The old rooms get rid of the old armories (there isn't a TV in them!).

“Rooms were small, noisy and go to a different restaurant!”

  • Building and lobby were beautiful staff very attentive
  • room was like a holiday inn

“Staff very friendly. Very noisy are. Guests overhead paced all night! They need to remove the old TV cabinets and get the tv off the only place table (place to sit in the small room)”

  • Location.
  • Basement-level room was dark, motel-quality, and thin walls let us hear everything to side and above.

“Jekyll and Hyde. Portions of it are luxury/upscale, and portions of it are bad motel quality.”

  • Elegant.

“Great hotel. You have to valet car. All of Newport is like that so no sense complaining. Great bar on roof. Very scenic and nice sunsets over the bay. Hotel is located about 5 blocks from Wharf so if you do not like walking try the Marriott. I liked this hotel better. Worth the walking.”
