This hotel is full of the gilded age splendor folks visit Newport for. You have to look around corners and hallways to find trinkets of days gone by. The rooms are decked in vintage albeit replicas of days gone by furniture including desks, chairs and beds. The cost while a little high is comparable to newer more contemporary hotels. If you want that antique style getaway and feel like a baron or baroness this is the place to stay.

Elegant hotel within walking distance of a lively part of this historic city, with quality service from a well-trained and highly professional staff. We were there with family for a major anniversary so we sprung for a suite and a package that gave us free parking, free b'fast buffet, and free passes to the mansions. Newport is a 'users' city - it pays to get up, go out and use what the city has to offer, and this hotel is well situated to provide a base of operations, what with a centralized location plus in & out parking as needed. And an indoor pool w/hot tub open well into the evening, towels provided.
From the hotel walk to stores, eateries, the wharf, etc. Or drive from the front of the building to the mansions that are so easy to find that even I couldn't get lost.
One crab - I normally love steam table scrambled eggs but these were on the well-done side. Could have been more moist.response / report this review -

Nice place. Just as an FYI to other folks, for the nights we booked Priceline had a much cheaper rate than the hotel website ($45 cheaper). When I called the hotel directly they said this sometimes happens - so worth checking google and other sites before you book directly with the hotel

Checking in on a Sunday night, we could hardly hear the front desk clerk because the noise from the bar room was just too much. We got a room way in the back and got a little lost trying to make our way back to the lobby. The valet attendant was nice but I hate having my car driven by anyone else, especially for a fee. Early morning we could clearly hear the coffee maker in the next room and the room alarm clock went off at 5am. The room was mostly clean, but there was candy under one of the beds from a previous occupant. The hotel was close to where we wanted to be and was acceptable for a one night stay.

Less than impressed with the rooftop bar.
The valet parking was 100%!
I had really high expectations for the rooftop but they were not met. Charge me $15 for a drink, then at least use a top shelf whiskey and a luxardo cherry. And please fix the spotlight that flickers on and off.
I was there for spirits and stogies but the food was cold when it was supposed to be hot. I will most likely not attend a rooftop event again.response / report this review -

Very nice and clean hotel. Our room (3060) was nicely appointed. Staff was knowledgeable and always helpful. Dinner was very enjoyable and tasty at the restaurant.
Only complaint: The hotel isn't all too concerned with water conservation no water saver shower head, and no aerator on the sink faucet!response / report this review -

For an old and historic hotel, it certainly carries the feel of luxury. However, that doesn't come without a price. Located in Newport it doesn't come as a complete surprise, but basic commodities, such as parking, you are charged heavily for. The room comes with 'complementary' water, but if you even crack the seal on the bottles you're charged for it at checkout ($6 per 16 oz bottle). Our room was small, and just large enough for our hotel bed. In summary, it is a very nice hotel, but you are charged for so much besides your room it takes some of the fun away.

The staff were very kind and helpful. The front desk gave us some wonderful ideas of things to do as well as driving directions and parking information. The bartenders at the roof top bar were a lot of fun, despite the chilly weather. Our room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. WiFi was included and there was a large TV (although we didn't turn it on so not sure how the channel selection was). The only problem we had was that the room was warm as the AC was broken. It was cool enough outside that opening our window solved this problem, but if it had been warmer we would not have been able to stay in the room. We informed the desk and someone came to look at it and we were told it was a common problem. This is something that really should be fixed at a hotel for those price point. The location was great and the valet parking made it easy to come and go. I would definitely stay here again if the AC issue gets resolved.

What can I say about the coolest town ever & the friendliest hotel staff this side of the Mississippi?? Don't hesitate to stay here ever. Having the time of our lives at this quaint hotel. It is truly like being on a movie set. Will be back here definitely.

Just spent almost four days and three nights at Hotel Viking. All I can say is that everything was excellent. From the valet (very friendly and courteous) to the front desk (again very courteous and friendly) to the beautiful room (elegantly furnished -- bathroom fan could be replaced, very noisy, I just turned it off) superb toiletries, even though we were a group of about 40 and had buffet meals, they were all superb and well staffed. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Feels like a European Boutique Hotel can't wait to go back! Thanks to everyone!

Stayed one night (last night). Had a king room booked but got upgraded to the Breakers Suite, which was sweet!!! Friendly staff. Beautiful hotel. And most importantly super comfy bed! I even tried to look at the mattress to see what brand of mattress it was because I want to buy one, but no luck .. I couldn't find a single tag anywhere on it. If anyone from the hotel could help me out in this endeavor I would be forever grateful! First time I've actually had a good night sleep in a hotel room. :)

Traveled to Newport to visit the Mansions and stayed at the Hotel Viking - beautiful hotel conveniently located minutes from restaurants, shopping and the Mansions! Definitely could walk to all of the above - we were not able to this time as it was snowing. Staff were friendly and accommodating - room was a Viking Suite - beautifully decorated and big! They had valet parking - not 100% necessary in the winter, but probably a nice feature in the summer. Would definitely stay here again!
