Hotel Viking Newport

Me and my wife stayed at the hotel on 7/16. Let me say the good thing first, location was great and lobby and roof top bar were nice. The toilet and the bath tub had disgusting stains that I thought initially was just dirty but no they were permanent stains. The room had an old window air conditioner unit that was not efficient to cool the room until mid night. The window shade was almost broken and cannot be fully lowered because of the air conditioner unit. We paid $478.25 for one night that included $35 valet parking. The valet personnel were nice but the front desk personnel did not treat us nicely from the minute we walked in. It was not a busy time and they hade no reason to be that way except may be they are not fond of people from other race? I am enclosing a few photos to share.

We were in Newport for a wedding and wanted a centrally located place to stay for a couple of days. The Viking turned out to be the perfect pick. Between events we were able to walk to interesting and historic places in any direction. The bellmen and parking attendants are extremely friendly and helpful. In fact everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. I am sure we will be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Viking. Priced at $500+ per night we were slightly disappointed with the $35 per day parking charge!! Great location short walk to the wharf and mansions. Very friendly professional staff.

The Hotel Viking is perfectly located. It is far enough off the beaten path that it is quiet and relaxing but close enough to walk everywhere! You can walk to the beach, cliff walk, downtown, and shopping! All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and fun! The room was clean, spacious, and quiet! We will absolutely be back!

We had never been to Newport. We played around with the thought of staying in a B & B which I am sure would have been fine, but then, we fell upon a description of Hotel Viking. It sounded perfect for a couple of history buffs! It is a charming hotel--our room was quaint but well furnished. The staff is helpful, and although you have to valet park which is a bit pricey, they made the process as easy as it can be. A huge asset is that it is centrally located and most of the restaurants are within walking distant. I was only disappointed by the afternoon Tea. Why? Although there were few people in the restaurant, the waitress was incredibly slow. Our tea had cooled off and was mostly drank by the time she brought in the cakes and sandwiches. We spent way too much time on this as the waitress just disappeared when we tried to get our check. I would recommend skipping this activity. Otherwise, a perfect hotel for a stay in Newport.
