My husband and I loved our one night stay at this hotel. We took advantage of their Mansion package which included a 1 night stay, complimentary valet parking, breakfast, and two tickets to the mansions. The hotel is in a great location; just a short walk to the main street with a ton of restaurants and shopping. The staff was... More

The Viking Hotel as many have said, does have that old world Newport charm which comes with pros and cons. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in compared to the standard hotel beds you normally get, plenty of cushions and for once a duvet instead of sheets/blankets! My room was spacious with plenty of space... More

This old historic building has a beautiful, if understated entrance. The staff is EXTREMELY helpful and attentive. The rooms, at first glance are beautifully decorated. I just think they lacked the sophistication to be a 5. The tacky display of snacks arrayed on the chest of drawers when we arrived just left me blah! Our bathroom was small and zero... More

The Viking Hotel has old world charm and we had a wonderfully comfortable bed. Although we had a very nice 2 night stay, we felt the door staff and front desk staff could have made much more effort. When I asked where I could catch the trolley car that circles the town, I was told, "I don't know." Not knowing... More

We spent one night at this hotel, receiving a discounted rate from one of the 'hotel' sites out there (don't remember which one). The rate wasn't spectacular, but fairly competitive for hotels in the area - which are I suspect seasonally inflated. Our 'better' rate gave us a room in the original building over the entrance and right by the... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Viking for a beautiful destination wedding for a family member. It is stately and elegant, great location where we walked to town and I even had my hair done at a wonderful little salon just across the street. The staff was friendly and courteous and welcoming, starting with the valet. BUT....... More

In Newport for a wedding this weekend. Had seen The Viking many times from the outside and always wanted to stay there. Finally. A lovely hotel. Comfortable beds. The feel of the room was almost like old New York ; lovely armoire, comfy chair , big wood headboard. Comfortable. Bathroom modern---small but certainly big enough. Only complaint is due to... More

Unfortunately we only spent one night at this hotel. Fortunately, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely return. The bed could not have been more comfortable. The bathroom was tiny but the shower was lovely. The staff was great - especially the bartender who was so friendly and accommodating. My husband had a massage at the spa, and had... More

In town to plan for our daughter's wedding in Newport, we stayed overnight at the Viking Hotel. This was our second time staying at the hotel, and again we were more than pleased! Both last March 2012 and this April, we stayed at the Viking with a special rate we had received from an email. We had signed up to... More
