What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 224 guest reviews
Viking Inn earns strong praise for its genuinely friendly staff, excellent walkable location near downtown, and clean, affordable rooms — with multiple guests saying they would return. The main recurring complaint centres on ageing beds and sparse in-room amenities, with a couple of guests noting mattress discomfort, flat pillows, and a lack of closet space, so comfort-sensitive travellers should take note.
