Reviews for Hotel Viking
Favorite Summer Destination
A phenomenal stay and experience every time. We were married here in 2022 and have since returned to Hotel Viking each summer for a vacation. We always receive a warm welcome, the hotel amenities are great, the rooms are wonderful. The hotel has so much charm. A visit to The Top of Newport is a must for anyone coming to Newport, even if you aren’t staying at the hotel. A 360° view of Newport, fabulous food and cocktails, and great fires to get cozy by after dark. Any meal we’ve had at One Bellevue is amazing. Be sure to ask for Maureen, she’s taken care of us each time we’ve gone back for vacation and she provides the most spectacular dining experience. Visit Hotel Viking, you won’t be disappointed.

Very expensive hotel, quality doesn’t match
We stayed here on 4th of July weekend so it was quite busy. The rooms were nice and the bed super comfortable, but there was no couch in the room. Additionally, there is no service to make phone calls and we had trouble connecting to the wifi. It made it challenging to look up restaurants etc. The common areas were a bit falling apart. The women’s public restroom had water all over the floor from the pool and toilets were dirty. Lastly, the valet staff is not friendly or helpful. 7 guys stand around watching you move your bags into the hotel. There was also no self parking as they described on the website. They will however help you load your car even when you don’t need help anxiously trying to get a tip. Just a wasted resource in my opinion.

Great location for first visit to RI
This hotel is steeped in history and very much part of the community. It is a popular hotel with lots of guests coming and going. We enjoyed our stay with lots of different areas to sit and relax in throughout the hotel. A great base to explore Newport RI

Mediocre experience after high expectations
Horrible experience. Totally felt scammed from start to finish There must be better choices. No jets in hot tube, no temperature control on refrigerator, indetcooked French fries and no salt and pepper shakers on roof top restaurant, non working ice machine and we thought we paid in full in advance but at checkout were charged $150. $50 for 1 day parking, 45 for tourist tax and $50 for unwanted and undisclosed and non optional discount coupons. Total about $650 and I've had better experiences at the Holiday Inn

We got married at Kay Chapel and had our reception at the Hotel Viking in December. The entire event was everything that I hoped it would be! The Hotel Viking is traditional, outstanding and eloquent. Our reception was in the Bellevue Ballroom and everything was beautiful. The staff was exceptional! They were there for us throughout the evening and paid such close attention to all of the guests! The hotel service was also outstanding. I am delighted to give the Hotel Viking the highest of reviews.
