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).

Our stay at the Viking Inn was amazing. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location of this Inn is walking distance to Solvang Village Center. I would definitely be returning and staying there again. The staff was also friendly and welcoming.

Nicely decorated and clean rooms. Contactless check in and free parking. Cute outdoor seating area with fire pit, which we didn’t utilize however looked inviting. Loved that the room had a microwave and mini fridge, plus a table and chairs for eating or visiting. Water bottles and an electric kettle with hot tea and coffee packets were a nice touch. My only negative was that room 2 I was in was closest to the main road and there is a significant amount of traffic sounds. However on the flip side being so close to everything was amazing.

We had a great stay at the Viking Inn. Room 6 was a perfect little room. It's very simple, as in the room was small and had only the basics, but that is exactly what I want out of a "Roadside Motel." The room was very clean and the bed was COMFY. I will definitely be back again for another stay!!

Property was nice on the outside but I had a couple concerns. First, there was definitely black mold in the shower and the room continuously got stuffy. Even though it was quite cold we had to keep opening a window. Second, water pressure in the shower was terrible and took forever to rinse off shampoo. Lastly, mattress was very old and uncomfortable. Room otherwise was clean, but the black mold and old shower with little water pressure was definitely an issue.
