05What our guests say

What guests who stayed with us at this time of year have said.

Every year for the fair

«We were looking for a hotel near the fair so we could come every year, and we finally found it… excellent location, a stone’s throw from the sea and the fair!»

Christmas at the Viking

“I stayed with my husband and our dog from the 23rd to the 27th of this month and I have to say I felt really at home: a family atmosphere, a very clean room and bathroom, genuine home-style food.”
