Very basic resort, distant from local towns and attractions, will really need to rent a car if you want to travel around. Setting is alright, but really don't expect much from your stay. More

We have stayed at this hotel several times now and have enjoyed each visit. Hotel is in a quiet location and I think you really need a car to get around. There are a few restaurants and shops in the area but choice is quite limited. Rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay and I particularly like the... More

Stayed for a week in early April. The location is beautiful - stunning scenary - and there is a great selection of restaurants if you want to venture outside the hotel. The breakfast provided is great - particular highlights include the honey and cinamon cake, and the gorgeous chocolate cake! We made great use of the indoor heated pool as... More

This was our 5th visit in two years to the Viking and as in previous visits we were not disappointed. The room was excellent, clean and well presented. Although the hotel was quite busy due to Easter holidays there was never problem getting a table at breakfast time. The food is always very good and continues to offer a wide... More

We stayed for one night on Sunday. This our second visit to this hotel. Very well trained staff. The hotel has had a major refit and looks the part. Beautiful location at the top of the cliffs. Views down to the beach from the gardens. Great outdoor pool, plus children's pool set in a large garden which is well kept.... More

We spent one night here last weekend as we got a room for 51 Euro.. And the room was good enough, as well as the indoor pool, sauna and steam room... But avoid the restaurant... Overprised, and not worth it. Better to spend 5 euro on a taxi downtown is our recommendation... We used the A La Carte meny and... More
