My fiance and I returned from a 3 night stay at The Viking yesterday and we wish we had booked for longer! On arrival the reception staff were friendly but some directions to our room would have been helpful as the hotel is a it of a maze (ok once you get used to it though). Our room was spotlessly... more

Just returned from 3 nightsat the Viking, (Choice hotels) you must be joking. We arrived on Friday afternoon to a rather dingy and dirty reception, we made our way to our room, first thing we noticed was there was no shower, the floor in the bathroom needs the grout cleaning.We asked for a different room with a shower they said... more

We have just returned from a weekend at this hotel and were pleasently suprised by it! We usually stay in B+B's in Blackpool, but as we were only going for a weekend we thought we would treat ourselves to this hotel. The hotel is located on the seafront, almost overlooking south pier, so conveniently close to the Pleasure Beach and... more

My partner and I stayed two nights at the Viking recently (Fri to Sun) and overall had a good experience. Aesthetically the hotel from the outside is nothing to look at and on entering through the main door leading to reception I thought they could do with sprucing it up a bit (flowers etc) and giving it a thourough hoover... more
