Going to Blackpool, where you staying? The Viking!

Our 2nd visit to the Viking. Love the location, with our sea view room perfect. The food was excellent and the staff were so so nice. Great cabaret on Saturday night. One downside (?) (in our modern age) was the lack of plug sockets or USB ports in the rooms for charging phones etc.

Lovely hotel

Food was excellent, entertainment was excellent. The only problem was that the extractor fans for the kitchen were just below our bedroom window, room 330 the noise was terrible and we couldn't close the window as it was too hot so it made the room uncomfortable during the day.

Hotel needs refurbishing

The room was a bit small bed was a bit small only one bedside cabinet food was good though not as good as o previous visits the service was good but it was better when tea and coffee was brought to table and toast was brought to table at breakfast time not fault of the waiters they were very pleasant and friendly shower not good in bedroom hotel needs refurbishing will return when it’s been upgraded entertainment was excellent that’s what draws people to the hotel won’t return until standards improve as it’s not cheap to stay there

Overall good stay

The rooms are in need of an update the mattresses feel like you’re going to roll off the edge of the bed because there’s no side support! The rooms are really warm too! Had a great check in until they said they had no hot water and was giving everyone a £5 drink voucher to make up for it! Luckily I’d showered before I went and it was back on the next morning! Breakfast great, everything you could want really apart from the coffee machine drinks were horrible! Buddy Lee is the best medicine anyone could have he’s hilarious daft and so entertaining! The guy behind the bar with the wrist splints was telling pretty inappropriate jokes in the small upstairs bar! Clearly thinks he’s missed his comedy calling! Overall we had a nice weekend I’d return but the main reason would be to see Buddy Lee!
