Check in was super easy, no need to interact with a staff, the code sent straight to my phone. I was sick during the stay and the staff was able to find some medicine for my headache. The area is walkable in Solvang, love the convenient location. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable. But the pillow wasn’t too comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Nope

Would not stay again. Major road noise. Eyelash/eyebrow hairs on pillowcases. Slept on a sheet I keep in my car. Dried food on floor at bedside attracted a dog. Wiping floor with wet tissue = these floors are filthy. Weak AC. Cable TV nonfunctioning after extensive troubleshooting--watched TV via other means. Cable remote not hygenic. Hair wad on shower curtain. Fridge unplugged, took hours to get to temperature.

Nice place, great location

Great location in this easily walkable town. Room was on smaller side but super efficient. Having a refrigerator was nice. Bed comfortable, shower with plenty of pressure. We didn’t get a chance to use but the chairs and fire pit in the yard area was great addition.

This was our second stay at the viking. Safe to say it's becoming our go to place in solvang. I love the rooms. The cute fire pit outside. The room is just what we need. Nice and clean and modest not overdone just has what you need. I love how easily accessible it is for us as cyclists not having to go up and down stairs while carrying our bikes. We love the viking and I'm sure we'll be back.

Not the best stay but very cute

We do love the location and esthetics, as I’m Norwegian so I jumped at it because it also accepts pets! We got a text code for self check in, it was wrong we couldn’t get in. The paper in the room had the same code. Why did it change on us? Thank god we didn’t arrive after the front desk girl left. What a horrible welcome. We got in and it was somewhat clean, picked up is more like it. Beds were made nice and liked the decor. The shower has black mold in the grout - super not ok. It doesn’t say if the water and coffee are complimentary. The noise level is insane. We had crazy neighbors that came home at 1am and were yelling and screaming for 2 hours you can hear their every word! And in the morning at 7am slamming doors yelling - I can’t - it ruined our stay. We liked the outside courtyard and didn’t know how to use it, but it’s a cute idea.

Much better than I had expected.

Better than I had expected. Room was clean, loved the fact it has dispensable hand soap and in the shower the dispensable shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. Walls are a little thin so heard our neighbors but that’s not uncommon. Overall was very satisfied with the accommodations. Great location too! (And just as an aside, I stay in hotels for work all the time, my standards are pretty high).
