Our 25th Anniversary was great. We stayed at the Hotel Viking four nights. This hotel is so pretty, The staff was great also. You will not for a nicer hotel in newport for the money. If you are going to go to newport this is the place to stay. When you look around they did not hesitate about spending money to make this a five star hotel. It is that nice. The only complaint i have is parking. It cost like $12 to park a day we just parked on the side street and just walked a 1/2 block to the hotel which you need to walk after eating all that wonderful seafood. Make sure you do the cliffwalk when you go. Thanks again for making this indiana couple a wonderal 25th anniversary.

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 focus attention primarily on the numerous (high end) wedding parties. We had a standard room which was opulently furnished but extremely small with noisy and inadequate air conditioning. The bar area is very comfortable and the hotel is fairly centrally located. Nothing to complain about - nice to have stayed here but expected more for the circa $400 per night price-tag. Next time I would leave this place to the mega-bucks and stay at a nice upmarket B&B.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel overnight while I was visiting him at the Navy base in Newport. We LOVED this hotel. The bed was extremely comfortable with luxurious sheets and soft pillows. The staff was friendly and the hotel is very clean and grande. I've heard the restaurant is pretty good but we didn't try it. Parking was easy; they have valet or self-park for $22 and it's right across the street. The room is very small; really just the bed, a desk, and armoire, but exquisitely furnished and so comfortable....great for a romantic get away. The bathroom was also little but very well appointed and immaculately clean. The large walk-in 2 person shower was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again.

Stayed at the Hotel Viking for the first weekend of Winterfest '08 and loved everything about it. I'm typically a 3.5-4 star traveler and would say that this hotel could be in the high 4 star range.

The location of the hotel was fine, everything was clean, bed was comfortable, the bar was great, the restaraunt seemed very nice but we didn't eat there. Massages at the spa were top notch (a bit expensive).

If there was one flaw in the place it was that people seemed TOO eager to help/assist you. We spent 4 days/3nights there and I can't remember on negative from our stay.

We were out and about the whole time and I'd imagine most people are when they visit Newport and The HV exceeded every expectation I had going into the weekend. I know everyone has different experiences but I have pretty high standards/expectations while traveling and this was a superb experience.

To top it all off I was able to book the rooms on hotwire at an avg price of $95 a night, a complete steal.
