Went with group of friends. Food excellent, hotel bright and clean, situated on promenade at South Pier. 10 min bus ride into Blackpool town centre. Nightly entertainment fantastic, with very good money prize Bingo slot in between . Only downside was too many stairs. Seems to be 2 buildings joined together with a lift for each side of the building. The lifts do not serve all floors and the cabaret room is in the basement. Dining room is on first floor. A bit of a problem for the elderly or disabled as too many stairs. Staff wonderful, rooms cleaned every day, all en-suite. Part of "Choice Hotel" group which has a good reputation.

What a great all inclusive break we have had at the Viking. From start to finish the staff were very good and pleasent the entertainment could not have been better the restaurant staff and the food was better than some hotels we have stayed at. It was our first time at the Viking but family we were with have stayed once or twice before and all they said about it was true. The bar staff looked after us very well even though it was inclusive the bar area was allways clear.
Thanks to all concerned.

Once again another lovely weekend at the Viking. The food you get for the price you pay is very good although now it is all inclusive you can see where the cut backs have been made, (no choice with bread rolls and more of a help yourself routine) There are new windows in the bar area (double glazed) so maybe they are starting to update the hotel bit by bit. Rooms were clean and plenty of towels although the heater was a bit hit and miss but luckily it wasn't too cold. The entertainment on the friday night was not too good, Buddy Lee seemed to be flagging and his act seemed a little tired although Terry Cotta revived the evening and was brilliant. Saturday night Buddy Lee was back on form so perhaps he was having an off day on the friday. All in all a good weekend and the all inclusive is the way forward so take note all you other Blackpool Hotels.

the week we had was good ,food and entertainment good only jeff lee spoilt it he was rubbish ,and on web sight it says smoking rooms and you stopped it ,the facilitys was very poor as there was no roof or sides on thesmoking area ,our friends booked for smokin rooms but when they got to know there was no smoking it was too late to book any where else we have come to viking for at leased 7 years but we will not be back if nothing is done about smoking facilitysso i hope you see into this - cpinkney stayed 22/01/12 -26/01/12 room number 119
