“The hotel was good and upscale, but not so upscale as to justify the restaurant's prices. I had to leave due to illness.”

“Lovely hotel brings back the years gone by of the Newport elite. Pool is fantastic. Looks like meeting facilities are also good. Close to center of Newport and to Cliff Walk. Have stayed there many times.”

“This is a first class hotel in a prime location in Newport RI. We arrived and parked our car at the Hotel Viking and didn't have to use it again during our 2 day stay. It's located so convenient to all the shops and restaurants in the downtown and wharf areas. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and also the restaurants we wanted to dine at. We would highly recommend The Hotel Viking to everyone.”

“We were placed in a room at a back corner of the hotel across from the housekeeping closet and overlooking the back parking lot. The lamp shades were literally coming apart. The water pressure in the shower was so low; I had trouble getting the shampoo rinsed out of my hair. The food basket in the room had incredibly high prices $7.50 for a tiny container of jelly beans! (Beware families with small children!) The coffee pot & mugs in the room were too dirty to use, so I ordered a $6 pot of room service coffee and the total bill (with a $3 gratuity + tax) was $10.58! The newspaper contained a sticky note on an inside section that the cost was included in the hotel bill at 19 cents per weekday. Self parking in the surface lot across the street was $22 per night. The front desk staff was rude; I waited in line for five minutes to check out and the front desk helped a woman who appeared from no where, claiming she was in line in front of me. This hotel certainly did not live up to the reputation it has in the community and I would not stay there again due to the room conditions, additional hidden charges, and feeling unwelcome.”

“The hotel is a great location and the lobby, restaurant, etc. have been beautifully restored. The older part of the hotel (and largest part) is really in need of an update. The carpet is dirty. The walls/doors have fingerprints all over them and the maid service wasn't great. I liked the old style furniture but would have preferred a cleaner setting and a TV that worked!”

“Very pleased w/ the entire stay from staff to hotel property. Only note to others, better-off parking on the street than pay their $22 self parking (in their lot) or valet parking fee.”

“We were placed in the older part of the hotel. They did not have any rooms to upgrade to the newer part of the hotel I am very upset I was expecting a relaxing two day stay and I was upset the second I stepped into the room and the room had a heavy damp mold smell I was very upset.”

“This was not the 3-4 star hotel. Beds were cheap and wobbly, shower did not drain. Found hairs on the towels. Location is great.”

“The hotel Viking is in a great location and the staff is very friendly. However the room is very small especially the bathroom. The bedding was not up to standards no down comforter and sheets very rough. If you are used to staying at Marriott's, Hyatt's etc this will be well below your standards.”

“For the star level - I expected less families with children - it was huge hotel the walk to our room was long, the view from our room was the parking lot, the ice machine and how noisy our room was disappointing. I did appreciate how friendly the staff was, and how beautiful the room was.”

“The Hotel Viking is beautiful, charming and historical. We had planned this "Sisters" Weekend a few months ago. Everyone was very accommodating. Especially the front desk. We received daily calls from the front desk to see if we needed anything. We thought that was very thoughtful. I had left something behind and called the next day, they had it and will send it UPS to me. We will return for our next weekend away.”

“Wish that I had maybe upgraded, if that was possible, for a better room to see if I would stay the next time for any length of time. Would need a room with more of a view than what we had and not so far to walk.”

“The location and ambience in the Hotel Viking are great. But beware of getting a room in the older part of the hotel. The housekeeping staff was remiss (did not empty trash daily, or provide clean drinking glasses, etc.) Some of the room features were very well worn or inoperative- wall outlets, lamps.”
