While the front desk did their best to dismiss us with their snobbish and denigrating treatment, the cleaning staff overlooked the soiled 'extravagant' linens in our cramped room. The first night we were entertained by the ongoings of not one, but three, couples. One on either side and the room above. It wouldn't have been that bad if the walls... more

My boyfriend & I just got back from a fabulous weekend in Newport. The Hotel Viking was everything we had expected and then some. The staff is very professional, courteous & efficient. The Hotel Viking gets a 10 from us for their customer service. Although the valet guys are very helpful the price for parking is outrageous. I have to... more

The Hotel Viking offered a centrally-located facility that didn't try to impose a mandatory minimum stay of two weekend days like so many other hotels in Newport do --- and offered a nice pool along with a heated jacuzzi to boot. Rooms were large and spacious and had the nicest beds I've ever slept on at a hotel (there were... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Viking over a long weekend. We had to change our rooms 3 times.

This hotel has been modernized... more

Arriving at the Viking you are in no doubt that you are about to stay at Newport's premier hotel. The attentive valets and professional front of house team ensure that the busy reception runs almost smoothly. However, for the price tag one might have expected a more personal service - this appears to be compromised by the staff having to... more
