http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/hid35428 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956158 A great spa.Price to value was poor and the restaurant menu inflexible. Very accessible parking included but neither the food or the room was 4 Star quality. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956158 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956159 The room was very clean, and the location was near all the action.The gym closed at 11PM. It is an understandable time, I just wish it closed later. The hotel is wonderful. The walls are a little thin, and I could hear the conversation in the next room. I am sure they were just as informed of the loud things I was doing in my room with my fiancee' Watching TV. They have got great flat screens, and a free internet connection. I had a wonderful experience, I will definitely go back when I return to Rhode Island. The staff was great, the ambiance was comfortable I had a wonderful stay. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956159 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r569686 My friend and I loved this hotel. Its located in an ideal area, just a few minute walk to the harbor front, restaurants, tennis hall of fame, and mansions. The rooms are beautifully decorated with antiques, it really felt like we were staying in one of the mansions that Newport is so famous for. The front desk staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r569686 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r569687 Crimially Overated. Arrived when it was raining. Valet staff waved cars away from new entrance and said parking was down the street. Parked and walked with luggage two blocks in rain. No bell staff. Then they had given the room I reserved away so they put me in a lower class room at same price! They said they had no other rooms. It took disussions with three different people and about an hour of arguing to get a small reduction in rates. If the area hadn't been full up i would have moved. Got to room it wasn't clean, and cleaning staff never showed despite promises from front desk. Then to top it all off, my car was towed because it didn't have a valet tag even though it had a parking pass from the hotel on the front dash. Staff acted as if I was unreasonable for being upset. Their refrain , which I must of heard a dozen times, was "Everybody makes mistakes". Well I sure did. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r569687 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956160 Friendly and clean.Everything was enjoyable. Great for business and pleasure. Every employee was pleasant. The roof top bar was fun. A good experience. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956160 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956161 Location, room, roof top bar, heated pool. Fabulous hotel and location. Rooms are beautiful, roof top bar gives you great view of harbor and city. Heated pool for after beach swimming. Walking distance of everything in Newport. Be aware of the charge for parking in the summer months of $22. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956161 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956162 Public areas were very nicely decorated and clean. Also, the location was excellent.Room was very small and expensive. Half of the electrical outlets did not work and we did not have a flat-screen TV, as advertised. A mixed experience, for the money. Location and public areas were very nice. The staff was generally attentive. Linens, however, are only changed every 3 days and we did not receive new robes after the 1st day. In addition, the movie service was not working. They gave us complementary newspapers instead. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956162 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956163 Many rooms recently renovated; Ask for one of these; They are excellent. Breakfast on the outdoor patio is memorable.Bathroom was very tiny (in a closet more or less) but clean. A large hotel in the "Downtown" area of Newport, the Viking is convenient to all Newport attractions. But if you prefer walking, this may not work as well. However the hotel offers a memorable London taxi shuttle to all local destinations, or a valet (mandatory but free barring tips) can bring your car up within minutes. Our room was newly renovated and stylish without being stuffy. On the downside, the bathroom was a converted closet (or at least looked that way), had a mini sink, standard (not elongated) toilet literally under the toilet, and a stall shower with a rain shower. Toiletries & towels were high quality. The bar / restaurant ("One Bellevue") was not notable for food or ambience. But eating breakfast on the outdoor patio was definitely memorable. Most of all, the entire staff was highly solicitous without any semblance of snobbery or expecting tips. They appeared to be either fresh grads or even coeds on break, but they were efficient to a fault. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it, as well as consider staying there again myself. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956163 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r1106771 Recently renovated/ rooms are not huge. good location with parking. located right between bellevue, thames, spring str. with access to just about everything. nice staff. bar on site. function room available. pool and sauna. a/c in rooms. very pricey in the busy season. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r1106771 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956164 The hotel was in peek condition.Nothing. I was impressed with Newport as a whole. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Viking/r956164
