Nice hotel if a little tired

Great sea view from the room, which was comfortable but a bit small. The whole hotel is a bit dated and worn. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food was good, decent choice at buffet style breakfast. Evening meal had plenty of choice for starter and desert from the buffet, main course served to the table. Free parking very convenient. The price per night was a bit expensive for a 3 star hotel

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
