Very disappointed, we were booked in for 2 nights DBB. Unfortunately we checked out early morning because we were so disappointed. We had booked DBB and only managed to stomach one evening meal, we didn’t bother with breakfast just checked out. The room we were in was a sea view double, room 122. The room itself was cramped, smelly, dirty and not fit to be rented out. Not as described or anywhere close to the pictures provided upon booking. The bathroom was filthy, mouldy and smelt very strongly of urine. The carpet in the room disgusting, dead flies on the floor, the window didn’t shut which meant the roof tiles were lifting up all night. The bed runner had mould on it. We couldn’t utilise the drawers because again they were filthy dirty. Someone has clearly spilt tea/coffee down the front of the unit which the cleaner had evidently missed. All in all the room was of poor quality and standards of cleaning below par. The restaurant, very over crowded. So many people crammed into a small space you were literally touching the strangers on the table next to you. The lady in the restaurant appeared ratty and fed up with her job! The food itself was lovely, although we only had the one evening meal due to the dining room experience but what we did eat was of good quality and cooked well. The communal areas are in much need of a good decorate / clean - very dated. We will not be returning here again.

Very happy with the hotel. Some areas are looking a bit tired but the bedroom was very clean . Spotless bedding and towels. The dining room was great with views out over the sea. Lovely food and great staff . The entertainment is fab and saved us going out at night after a long day walking around. The tram stops almost outside so a bonus. We did walk in twice so used it one day . £6 for a day , on and off as many times as you like . We chose a room with a bay window overlooking the sea, this did not disappoint. I would recommend this hotel if you want an adult only venue. Good value for money. Parking on site , bonus. Great position for south pier which is lovely.

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.
