Hotel Viking

I could not say enough about the Viking hotel in Newport, Rhode Island! My stay was exceptional, the food was off the charts, the accommodations were wonderful, there was just such a wonderful BUZZ going around in the hotel. People were coming for weddings and parties and everybody was so gracious. The shop did not disappoint either. The chocolate croissant, the amazing cappuccino. The highlight was probably when I arrived, and I had the most amazing Barada, oysters, and a glass of rosé. I will be going back for sure, I would like it to be every month!

What a delightful stay at Hotel Viking! The location was convenient to the Cliff Walk (20-minute walk) and Bowen's Wharf (10-minute walk), in a quiet and safe-feeling neighborhood. The rooms were sparkling clean and newly renovated, with a great rain-shower head and really nice quality personal care products. The courtyard was lovely, with a large fire pit, seating, a food truck bar, and corn hole. The pool has cute cabanas and a nice hot tub. My daughter and I were pleased with the spa experience. Overall, a really perfect, historic-feeling place to stay in Newport.

Stayed here before but never again. Hotel is sprawling and our room was at the farthest end of the hallway. Stairs in hallway could not be avoided and moving luggage was a challenge. Freshly renovated but heavy barn door at bathroom could not be moved one inch. Door into room did not close properly and maid left room open after cleaning room. Missed cleaning one day and staff was rude when we asked that the room be cleaned. Building is being refurbished and we had no hot water for two days. Staff was dismissive when we inquired. Problems every day of our 5 day stay. Good location close to mansion and other sights but there are better Newport hotels.

Rooms are tastefully decorated and we found the beds to be extremely comfortable. Loved the rooftop deck for pre dinner drinks and sunset and the courtyard with firepit for after dinner corn hole. Had a wonderful stay!

One of The worst hotel stays I’ve ever stayed. The bathroom was impossible to use and the ac didn’t work but made a huge noise. Staff was so so unhelpful and pretentious. Please don’t stay here!

Went to Roof top for drink or lunch, no sorry does not open until 4pm. ON Weekends. The charged for Valet when paying top prices for room. No Thank you.

Park on church street for free or $50 a day for the car

Beautiful hotel, with everything you could need.

Our first time staying overnight in Newport! We had a wonderful stay at the Viking Hotel -from being greeted by valet crew daily to a rooftop bar and everything in between! Conveniently located to downtown Newport and Mansions; I highly recommend staying here!

From start to finish the service was beyond incredible!

The pool was also outdated and the water looked muddy, so we didn't even go in. Overall, the location was fantastic, and they did a good job at renovating but would not stay again due to the lack of hospitality/care.

Restaurants are excellent. Lovely historic vibe. Nicely updated room.

Marina Ambrose at the front desk is a gem. She was unfailingly helpful. The room AC was very noisy and interfered with sleep. The chairs in the breakfast room were vey uncomfortable. It was like pulling teeth to get heavy cream. The room cleaners had NO English

Air conditioning went out during a heatwave and the front desk kept giving us the runaround. It was 85 degrees in our room and wasn’t safe for my baby to sleep there.

We loved walking to town and free parking on the side street. Lovely place.

I should have asked for an alternative room. I was pretty disappointed.

This is our third stay and our last. If you book via Expedia, you get the least desirable room, every time. This year there was a persistent motor noise coming from above our room that prevented us from sleeping. We asked the front desk, they sent maintenance and never got back to us and denied our request to move rooms. We had to sleep with head phones on. The hot tub was a brown/green color and smelled like sulphur. Kinda crazy considering the price.

If you aspire to be a luxury hotel, your coffee amenities shouldn’t be the crappy poison they have at HJo’s. The hot water ran out. The hair dryer was broken.

Really beautiful hotel and property , staff was efficient and accommodating to our special trip. We had a room on the main floor which was updated very tastefully with a view of the courtyard and fire pit area. Bar had a really cool vibe inside the hotel and The rooftop bar was also nice with a great view. Only down side was the bed was a little uncomfortable and you could hear the people above us. Other wise would definitely recommend staying here and will be coming back on our return to Newport !
