Friendly reception staff, exceptional cleanliness, comfy beds, good shower. Had everything that was needed for one overnight stay.

Something outside the room beeped every minute all through the night…couldn’t find what it was, so couldn’t report it - may have been the fire door magnetic housing??? Breakfast was extremely busy with not a lot of space between articles for you to collect. Also a strange system for ordering hot breakfast items- but your order was handed to you almost immediately! A shame only one toaster was working as it took longer to get toast than any other food item on offer! Also, microwave was pushed back in a corner where people we’re trying to access hot drinks and the toaster too. Maybe the placement of these electrical items needs to be thought about again - for flow of guests but ultimately for safety. These were only minor things that did not impact on overall experience.

It was exceptionally clean and tidy and very comfortable. The shower was nice and hot and the large wall fan was very welcome, as my day of arrival was quite hot. On departure the owner said I could leave my car on the car park while I went off sightseeing in London. Not only that but he gave me info on local public transport. I'd have no hesitation in staying here again.

Everything was perfect.

Clean, comfortable rooms. Good location plenty to do in local area and easy to travel into London. Decent value for money. Easy parking

Got back to hotel after night in London (about 1am) doors were locked, unable to contact hotel, no one one reception. Had to climb over wall to get back to room

room size was good, shower was good, location was good. The receptionist provided us with a wi-fi password for free but mentioned it is usually charged. I would recommend the wiFi to be free of charge as a norm. These days, Wi-Fi is always expected to be free, we are not in the 90's anymore, there is no extra-cost to the owner if more people connect to the wi-fi.

(only) One of the breakfast floor staff was very bitter. She did not allow me to get a second cup of coffee because it was already 9.02am and she had already switched off the coffee machine. She could have easily switched it back on, but she chose not to. Breakfast runs from 7 to 9am, however I would recommend that things that need no staff assistance, such as coffee and cereal, to be the last things to be put away. The kitchen should close at 9am sharp but allow people to have a second cup of coffee while staff is busy cleaning and putting plates away.

The Viking Hotel was very good value for money, particularly for London. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the closest underground station and only 3 stops from the 02 Arena. The room was clean and comfortable and had a wall mounted fan which was priceless due to the heat during my stay. Continental breakfast was included, but I didn't have. There's nothing fancy facility-wise, but was absolutely perfect for somewhere clean and comfortable to rest when visiting London. Wouldn't hesitate in booking again.

Nothing really. I wasn't looking for a spa or swimming pool - this hotel was basic but ticked all the boxes required for this stay.

I have stayed in many hotels some very exspensive and some very cheap. This hotel has a great location, ample parking, friendly staff and is one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. If you want value for money close to all resturants, and shopping and ideal if you intend to get the tube into London you cant go wrong. Highly reccomended.

Nothing great stay

We loved the little motel style rooms and the retro decor (though some would think it was dated). Fridge in the rooms. Secure parking right outside our room. Comfortable beds and it was very quiet, away from the main road. We stayed to attend Field Day festival in Victoria Park which was only a 30 minute bus ride from right outside the hotel. Continental breakfast was included. All good value for money for this location, easy transport into central London. Overall lovely for two star hotel!

Check out time was 10.30 which we found a little early *yawn*

Spot on. Professional management who understand the needs of guests and constantly looking to improve. Friendly staff who are always happy to help or to make your stay as pleasant as possible. These guys are really happy to have customers, not like other receptionists from other hotels (check my other reviews to find out which). On top of everything, the prices are just perfect...

Room size was ok and we were at a family room. Stayed there for 04 days and all days they carried out cleaning of the room daily. Location is good and Stratford city Railway/ under ground and main Bus station is just 04 bus halts away.

They served daily breakfast and it was included for the package. It was English breakfast and sorry to say it was a very basic. No salads or fruits were available in the buffet. At the last day of our 4th day had it little since we were fed up with it.

The location was fantastic, being about 15 minutes walk or 3 minutes bus ride from Stratford Station, meaning you could reach anywhere in the city very conveniently. The staff were friendly and nice and the room was well-equipped. The hotel was an excellent base for this exploring London or stopping over on the way through, and great value for money.

The only thing I'd suggest is extending the breakfast hours. 7 until 9 is quite an early finish, and tended to result in a big crush of guests at around 8.45. Maybe pushing it back to 7 until 10 would take pressure off both the staff and the guests.
