This is the 3rd time we have been here, the staff are fantastic they are all so friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little on the small and dated side but are spotlessly clean only downside is the towels they need to be bath sheets not bath towels. The food is lovely and hot both breakfast and evening meal are lovely lots of different choices and again fast quick service. The entertaimment is really good Buddy so funny and the dancers are fantastic, we have had 2 funny comedians on this weekend and 2 amazing singing acts all of which we would come and see again. This it is good value for money had a brilliant weekend.
Just spent 5 days here was fantastic Good food Entertainment top.notch laughing and singing all night Bingo lol Bedroom lovely and clean and tidy every day Bathroom on small side but usable Everything was clean well maintained Only issue I had was mirror was to high on bathroom wall and bedroom mirror had no light near it but not complaining Was absolutely beautiful stay Staff are friendly and always help Will be back Free parking
Excellent customer service , friendly staff ,excellent quality and choice of food and drinks and outstanding entertainment the best hotel in Blackpool by far
Great hotel the food is very nice with a great choice. Entertainment is brilliant and being on site and adults only is good we've been many times and will be back again.
Back from all inclusive weekend. Had a lovely time. Room was comfortable, food was very good with a good choice both breakfast and evening meal. Sadly on Saturday night a crowd in entertainment area spoiled the night with their loud voices during Buddys routine. Think they thought they were the entertainment for the evening..so rude while singers were on too.. Would definitely come again but would hope management could step in and solve the issue at the time.
The Viking Hotel in Blackpool is the ideal place for a weekend away ideally situated with trams and buses just outside. Food and staff are 1st class. Everything is spot on, Rooms with a view of the promanade are so comfy and very clean. Entertainment is brilliant 2 acts each night and a brilliant compare Buddy Lee.
It’s adults only. My room was fine but my friends wasn’t at all. Very damp and no room in the bathroom. Toilet was squished between bath and wall. Food is good. There are stairs everywhere, you have to use stairs even if you use lift. Staff are very friendly and location wise it’s great too.
Fabulous time have been visiting the viking for over 10 years and not been disappointed once. Staff are amazing, always willing to advise on places to visit but the in-house entertainment is second to none - can't wait to go back! Thanks guys, you do an amazing job!
Just arrived and there is a very pleasant atmosphere, a good mix of people from all walks of life, tinsel and turkey week with my wife's mum and her friends. All inclusive, five nights stay for around £279 per person, which in all honesty is great value for money. Great evening live entertainment every night, which is very good, plus the all important Bingo, with very good cash prizes. The room was ok, spacious and had a comfy double bed, a bath with a shower, which was a bonus as my wife loves havng a bath. Free tea and coffee making facilities. The television is very much on the small side, however how much time will you spend in your room. The evening meal was lovely, the starters including cold cooked meats was delicious. I chose the steak with potatoes and vegetables which was very nice. Breakfast was also lovely and very filling. I think the stairs to the guests rooms can be a bit problematic. If you are on one side of the hotel there are two floors, if you are on the second floor you have to negotiate some steps, on the side with four floors, the lift only goes to the third floor so the fourth floor is reached by stairs. The hotels location on the seafront is just about perfect. There is a large car park at the front of the hotel. Overall fsntastic value, friendly staff, great entertainment, all inclusive, comfy rooms and great value
9 of us stayed here this weekend and the food, entertainment, staff we're great. Jackie the lady in the restaurant was brilliant she was so lovely with us all even though she was so busy. Paul on the bar was very chatty and friendly which goes along way. Ethan the young guy behind the bar and doing table service was great too. Would we stay here again? yes we would. We had a great weekend here at the Viking Hotel. Thank you all xx

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
