Viken Luxury Holidays

This is a great place to stay. It is worthcoming all the way to Norway just to stay at this hotel.

The hotel location is fantastic, close to shops and well serviced by bus routes (e.g less than 10 mins to museums and waterfront). The room are clean and well appointed. Unfortunately, there was loud restoration noise one of the mornings as they were changing carpets in the floor above us. They offer to give us a different room when we checked with the front desk (nice but they should not have given us the room in the first place).

Let's start with the positives. The staff vas helpfult and good. The breakfast was one of the best ones I have had in a hotel, but the deserts are just way to sweet, cut down on the sugar guys. The gym is very good and has everything you need for a nice exercise. The pool and sauna is nice but unfortunately very greedy and stupid to charge extra to use them. The hotel is already expensive and off location as it is, at least you should have the pool and sauna included in the price like every other hotel on planet earth, whats the point in visiting this hotel otherwise if you need to pay extra for almost everything except the room? Overall I would rate it a strong 3.5 because of the nice breakfast and staff.

Room was really comfortable. Spa is huge! Make sure you know the rules of the spa. Breakfast is included and quite nice. Definitely a fun experience.

Beautiful hotel with luxury service and amenities. Really enjoyed our peaceful stay. The wellness centre was amazing!

Beautiful old hotel. Nicely refurbished

A fire breaking out in the middle of the night is never good news. However, worse was the fact the emergency exit was padlocked! The single staff member was clearly overwhelmed and never offered any explanation or communication while we were evacuated into the street or thereafter while we waited to get back into our rooms after the fire brigades had left. Aside from the fire incident, the hotel could do with better housekeeping (emptying the bin and replacing a towel is not quite good enough) . The mattresses seem to be as old as the hotel, ie 126 years.
