    Bathroom is unusable can't even brush your teeth in that sink. Staff is poorly trained attemted to sit down for breakfast and was advised i need to join a wait list for an empty restroom because they are Short staffed !!

    The location is perfect in Newport its walkable & the staff is elite tier they are so hopeful & was willing to answer so many of my ridiculous questions. The coffee shop tuckshop made an amazing morning cappuccino & breakfast was really good. Will be back in the future for longer stays

    This hotel was very comfortable with great amenities. We loved the rooftop bar! Also it is centrally located with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to a lot of attractions and Thames street. Great amenities and it was very clean. Service was excellent.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location was great--walking distance to the Newport points of interest. Some areas of the hotel were in better condition than others. The first floor where we stayed had some ceiling tiles missing in the hallway and the visual into the ceiling space was unappealing and caused the hallway to be warm and stuffy. In our room we could hear a constant pounding sound. I called the front desk but the sound never disappeared. The indoor heated pool was nice but sometimes had no towels and often the external door was propped open which felt less secure. Housekeeping did not always refill the coffee pods or towels but were fairly responsive when called. Staff in general was friendly and helpful, and the common areas were comfortable, clean, and aesthetic. Room furnishings were nice although a pullout bed would have been more reasonable for a 3-person room with only 1 bed.

    Beautiful property in a great location. The only negative was the bathroom sink was so small and a shelf placed above it so you could not brush your teeth or wash your face without soaking the floor. Was a bit frustating.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I have stayed at Hotel Viking many times over the years and looked forward to seeing the product of their renovations. I was incredibly disappointed as the hotel was updated in a way that made no logical sense. In particular, the bathroom sink was incredibly small and had a shelf above it making it impossible to brush your teeth without hitting your head or spitting on the floor. The door into the room had to be kicked to be opened and required immense strength to reopen once inside. I repeatedly spoke to the front desk, and then the manager. Absolutely nothing was done. Will never go back!

    Was supposed to be in a deluxe room, but the door didn’t work walls were damaged and Paint was chipping. Construction underneath my room woke me several times. When I try to discount the room with the manager, I was disregarded and told to take it up with Expedia. Very disappointed.

    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.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    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!

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    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!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Beautiful hotel, with everything you could need.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    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!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    From start to finish the service was beyond incredible!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    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.
