Hi Paul pleased you liked the Viking. I love it. Stayed 3 times on the all inclusive weekends. Adults only. I agree staff amazing, food wonderful, entertainment top drawer. Great service at a great hotel. At a great price I feel. 😊❤ The bars issue is the staff are rotated. It would be much more costly to run both bars. Therefore you'd be paying more. I don't think there's any thing to stop visitors getting a drink and then moving to the windowed area to look out? Choice Holidays will correct me if I'm wrong.
Gorgeous blue skies and sunshine 🌞 over Blackpool, I could smell the sea air! As soon as your camera panned round on the room I loved it, so cosy and homely, I loved the sunlight pouring in but I'm with you it's not nice being in a stifling hot room. All you need for a pleasant stay. I loved the decadent dark tones of the decor in the lobby, bar areas it looked comfortable and restful. The entertainment was good quality I especially liked James Laughlin I am sure I heard an excerpt of 'You'll never find another love like mine ' by Lou Rawls, oh man such a beautiful, beautiful song!!! The price is magnificent when I travel solo I always take my imaginary friend but he never goes Dutch😂 amazing for HB. Could see you loved it you looked very relaxed. I love Blackpool the most characterful and charming seaside town in the UK. Thank you excellent review Paul x
Looks like a nice place to stay Paul Thanks for another good tour around and yes absolutely love Blackpool ❤️ Thanks again and take care until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Paul excellent video the viking hotel on the promenade in blackpool I have not stayed at viking but it looks lovely and it is adults only no kids the entertainment in the show bar is hosted by the great buddy lee as worked at the viking hotel for years I will have to stay there the rooms look clean and tidy the rest of the hotel is spotless and the bathroom is spotless and lots of space the star rating should be 3 star the food looks great and well presented lots of choices of food and the entertainment was spot on and the breakfast excellent choice thanks paul excellent video of the viking hotel thanks take care pal from Keith 👍👍👍👍
I like my luxury hotels Paul but seriously, I’m impressed with this room and would have no hesitation whatsoever staying there. Two stars? What’s keeping their rating so low. The room, bedding, cleanliness are of a higher standard than many 3 stars. Keep up the great work, really good quality videos and I always look forward to the next one! Between you and Gary Eats I’ve got my next UK trip sorted!
Lovely weather loved the hotel food looked really good lots of entertainment really good value for money to .love your reviews Paul looking forward to to the next one 😊
Hi Paul another great video your room was lovely and the food looked really nice has well and the hotel was lovely you had nice sea front at the front of the hotel and the price was great too Paul 😊
Hi Paul, enjoyed watching your video, I've stayed there about a couple of year's ago really nice hotel especially being on the sea front lovely blue skies it's definitely worth more than a 2 star hotel
Love the Viking hotel, stayed last year, fabulous staff, all very friendly and helpful. The food is nice but we prefer the food at the cliffs (same hotel group) it’s just the main evening meal - somehow it tastes fresher/better. Your room wasn’t a refurbished one, the newly decorated rooms are grey, white and silver. The place is a bit of a maze, when we stayed some folks did complain about the lifts being too small and rather slow, we just used the stairs so didn’t have any problems. I hope you got to see a bit of buddy lee’s comedy set, he’s so funny, it’s worth going just to see him, I believe at certain times of the year the cabaret room is open to non residents but you do have to pay an entrance fee. In November we are staying at the Claremont (same hotel group again) it’s all inclusive, has good reviews. I’m sure the Viking used to be rated at a 3, not sure why it’s only a 2 now but I agree with you it’s certainly a hotel worth staying in. Thanks xx
Hi Paul, The hotel seems really good. Clean and nice and bright. The entertainment seemed very good to me too. Especially Lily. Cannot believe a single person pays the same as two. I would be a little annoyed if it was me. Thanks Paul.
Looks a comfortable hotel and a good price for 2 people. Same issue if staying solo though. I would stay there as looks very clean, and good location. Thanks for filming..
Hello Paul we have stayed at the Village numerous times.We like the entertainment and also think the food is good as well.We also stay at the Claremont hotel up by north pier.Same company Choice hotels.We like that better because it's all inclusive and if you don't want to watch the entertainment you can chill out in the lounge
Good review and there is some decent hotels in Blackpool. I would stay there, but the entertainment is not my thing. I find your reviews are practical for those who are going to use and also the hoteliers for feedback.
That looked decent! Especially the food and room. Wouldn’t be happy about the bar situation with the moving about but at least I could still get a drink lol 😂
great videos bin watching for over a year keep up the good work and them bars i i think its due too getting you too watch the acts provided thats probley why or theirs not enough staff or people in hotel too accommodate everything
Evening wowsers it looks a really nice bright room very clean bathroom the food looks amazin 134quid to me that’s expensive I think till the next one 😊
Yes it dose look nice and clean, bed lovely freshly made, its got everything that you need, plenty of choice of food, £ l would have to think about , dont like the ldea about the Breakfast, l cannot bolt my breakfast down ,
What an OK Hotel-the last time I was in Blackpool,I stayed at the Elgin Hotel,this is a family-run establishment,and is a very nice hotel too-but I’m sure it is more than 2 stars ?? Getting back to the Viking Hotel,it is certainly ALRIGHT for a 2 star Hotel-I have certainly seen a lot worse than that,here on TH-cam-but the Viking does has a lot of the services and facilities that guests need,although I think,they need to brush up on their disability access,perhaps have some disability access rooms,on the ground floor for disabled guests-all of which,perhaps would earn them more stars!!
Stayed there years ago whith about 30 pensioner's Paul one was my late nana they carried on woful playing knock a door dash 1 in the morning was a good hotel then.xx
I have been to a show there not stayed, it seems a strange thing regarding the bars, sea view day so you can see it as the dark nights appear closing it, the food looked good and alot of choice, always had a good name for tbe caberet lounge 😊😊
I'd stay there it looks nice and clean. Maybe they move bars as it gets busier so they don't need as many staff as they would if they kept one of the other bars open as well
Lovely hotel clean has character and a homely feel. Food looked like genuine home cooked food. I question 2* please do not take this the wrong way I question the starage from the 5* hotel blouvard to the 2* Viking hotel. The starage has been questionable. It will be the age of the building re disability access.
Hey Paul I've tried to book this hotel many times but it is always fully booked or the price is too high. Great video, looking forward to the next video.
There were many aspects about this hotel that I liked. The room was tastefully decorated and of a good quality despite the small TV. The food also looked good. But your video also highlights the many eccentricities of private hotels in the UK. I once stayed in a hotel in Whitley Bay and reserved a double room. I got a room with a double bed and two singles. It was like staying in a dormitory. If there had been a couch with a coffee table instead of the two singles then it would have made a nice suite. Also, the TV was small. Breakfast should be served from 7.30am at least especially if people want to go out for the day. And the bar arrangement at this hotel is totally bizarre. I wouldn't have paid that price as a single traveller.

It's Viking :)
Good review and there is some decent hotels in Blackpool.
I would stay there, but the entertainment is not my thing.
I find your reviews are practical for those who are going to use and also the hoteliers for feedback.
By the looks of it I would be perfectly happy to stay at this Hotel I'll put it on by bucket list
All looks really nice definitely above a 2*
Nice hotel Paul abit expensive for a single person, food looked nice enough and the overall place looked good x another enjoyable vlog my friend
That looked decent! Especially the food and room. Wouldn’t be happy about the bar situation with the moving about but at least I could still get a drink lol 😂
great videos bin watching for over a year keep up the good work and them bars i i think its due too getting you too watch the acts provided thats probley why or theirs not enough staff or people in hotel too accommodate everything
Evening wowsers it looks a really nice bright room very clean bathroom the food looks amazin 134quid to me that’s expensive I think till the next one 😊
Yes it dose look nice and clean, bed lovely freshly made, its got everything that you need, plenty of choice of food, £ l would have to think about , dont like the ldea about the Breakfast, l cannot bolt my breakfast down ,
Thanks for video and review..Nice looking hotel etc but seems a wee bit pricey 🤔.
If that's a 2-star, I'm the Queen of Sheba (where is Sheba by the way?!?!) Anyway, great video as always Paul. Thank you!
Good question! lol x
Looks a gorgeous place with good food and good entertainment. Why it's only 2 stars I don't understand either.
Review the backlot 🎉
It will do for me Paul.
What an OK Hotel-the last time I was in Blackpool,I stayed at the Elgin Hotel,this is a family-run establishment,and is a very nice hotel too-but I’m sure it is more than 2 stars ??

Always stay here good food,entertainment. Always enjoy it.
I'd stay there it looks nice and clean. Maybe they move bars as it gets busier so they don't need as many staff as they would if they kept one of the other bars open as well
Looks pretty decent although the price for single occupancy is a rip off 🍻
Lovely hotel clean has character and a homely feel. Food looked like genuine home cooked food. I question 2* please do not take this the wrong way
I question the starage from the 5* hotel blouvard to the 2* Viking hotel. The starage has been questionable. It will be the age of the building re disability access.
You don't open open window when it's hot just close the curtains room will cool down
Food looked OK really. For the price these hotels are really good value.
Shame about the mobility. Looked a nice place.
i am going too thailand next week my hotel is £113 for 7 days
Hey Paul I've tried to book this hotel many times but it is always fully booked or the price is too high.
Great video, looking forward to the next video.
No good for me I prefer north end I am disabled and thank u paul xp
Glad you are mentioned the parking options. Can you add that to all your reviews if possible. It’s one thing we look at when choosing a hotel.xx
All hotel websites tell you about parking facilities I only add it if they mention parking to me when checking in
NOT THE BESTEST HOTEL IN BLACKPOOL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TO AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT THE CHEAPEST, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
There were many aspects about this hotel that I liked. The room was tastefully decorated and of a good quality despite the small TV. The food also looked good. But your video also highlights the many eccentricities of private hotels in the UK. I once stayed in a hotel in Whitley Bay and reserved a double room. I got a room with a double bed and two singles.

What a dated Hotel. 1970 Classic. Not for me. 😉
