Great food & entertainment venue
The hotel was good value and location. The entertainment which is on nightly was a fantastic show of singing, comedy & show dancers. The compare Buddy Lee was funny and entertaining. The food was great quality and many choices, and the staff service was excellent. The location was easy accessible to trams to visit other parts of Blackpool. Parking on site was great and secure.

Stayed here a few times and always have a good time. Mealtimes provide plenty of choice and quantity. Entertainment is always good. Staff pleasant and friendly. Only downside this stay was using the shower in one of the older rooms. The fixed position meant that someone taller than 4ft struggles to get under it.

The hotel was ok , the breakfast fantastic , When I went down for breakfast , I was to hand a card that was given to me by reception, to somebody at the entrance to the restaurant , there was no one there to hand it to . so i just followed everybody in . picked table , and stated eating , a quest came up to the table and said I was sitting in his seat , a member of staff came over , tolled me to move , she walked me to the opposite side of the restaurant (I had a plated full of food in my hand ) she put a card on the table and said , that is your table .It was so embarrassing . The next morning at breakfast I was putting items on my plate ,Heard a slight noise behind me , heard it again ,I turned around , a member of staff was holding a tray of fried eggs , I was not aware she was , there ,I said sorry , but she gave me such a filthy look , They should treat their guests with a bit more respect and curtesy .

Staff all very efficient, nothing too much trouble. Food choice at dinner excellent, quality and quantity both in abundance. Evening entertainment pretty good with bingo Monday & Wednesday. Resident presenters funny, comedy turn most evenings, fantastic dancers and good singers. Room tidied every day with nice clean towels, bedding crisp and white, housekeeping was excellent, however our room was a bit dated with a tiny TV. Would probably return if allocated a refurbished room. Overall not a bad stay.

It was a great stay in The Viking. The property could do with an upgrade. The Food and Staff are excellent. Good entertainment on a night. You don’t need to leave the hotel if you don’t want to. It’s ideal if you’re going to Blackpool pleasure beach. We would definitely book there again.
