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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel and bedroom does not resemble any of the pictures on the booking website...in a bad way. There was a gap between the bedroom door and the door frame, meaning you could see out into the corridor, but worse, people in the corridor could see in! There were a few people staying, or trying to stay at the hotel who, sadly appeared to have fallen on hard times. However, this was no reasonable excuse for the scene created in the reception on day one, when one person, covered in pee, was seen arguing with staff, and another unrelated person, spat on the floor, also in the reception. My mum used to stay at the viking hotel every year and loved it. We came in memory of her and to spread her ashes on the beach. The hotel experience did put a bit of a downer on the memories she used to share with us about how lovely this hotal once was. Investment and upgrading is long overdue. 2 people sharing a double room need 2 towels, not one to share...its not difficult to get simple things right. On the plus side, the breakfast included was at least decent. Overall, the stay at the Viking Hotel, as a whole, was not good value for money at £155 for 2 nights of feeling vulnerable, somewhat scared, and disappointed.
