Clean and tidy, but a little worn out. A small but warm and cosy room. The staff were very friendly and helpful; and having fresh waffles available in the foyer is a great idea.

Liked: Cleanliness
Friendly and helpful staff. Room was okay although tired. For example, some of the kitchen and bathroom cabinet frames were cracked. Tv worked only with apps. The entranceway was poorly lighted and precarious and icy. If you are budget oriented, the location is great. Lots of this place is great, but think of this as a budget option.

The room was basic, a tiny bit small for two people with two suitcases, but the beds were really comfortable, and we found the people who worked at the Viking very nice and helpful which made our stay a really pleasant one. Good value for money, and we would stay there again.

Very nice staff and service with great tips on the surrounding area. Great location and decent rooms. Don't miss out on the complimentary assortment of tea, coffee and cookies in the lobby. Also the free waffles in the late afternoon appeal to my Dutch heart!

The stay was good for a quick weekend trip. The staff was nice. There are Norwegian waffles available sailing at 5pm. The rooms and beds are a bit small but it was good as we did not plan to stay in.

We stayed one night. The bed was a little too small for two tall persons. And it was very warm in the room. Bathroom is ok and the overall size of the room is also ok. Staff is friendly. Free waffles and coffe / tea in the evening.

My daughter and I loved the charm and character of our room in the top floor under the eaves. The shower room was perfect and it was lovely to look out on the traditional property opposite as well as to glimpse the hills around us. The staff were amazing - friendly, cheerful, helpful at all times. I really appreciated being able to have the free coffee/cookies in the reception area at any time with the opportunity to chat to other guests there, hearing about their experiences/plans and also the brown cheese/waffles in the afternoon. This hotel was ideal for us and I would certainly return.

The location is great. However the WiFi does not work in the room. The sound proofing is not good. You can hear sound from the street. Difficult to sleep.
