It appeared to be run by a very kind and friendly family - who fortunately spoke English because my German is very poor. There wasn't anything fancy or flashy about Hotel Wiking, but the room came with the essentials i.e. bathroom, beds and a closet. This is perfect for those who travel on a budget!
The hotel was located on a slightly busy street and was within walking distance of downtown Kiel. A couple of restaurants are located within a few hundred meters, one of which was directly next door.
The downside with Wiking were the very thin walls. In my room, at the beginning of the hallway, I could hear a tv and others talking in a room three doors down.
So if you are on a budget and don't mind hearing other guests, Hotel Wiking will probably fit all of your essential needs.
