Hotel Viking

Hotel Viking

8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel in a great location. Two bugbears: 1) the $50 a day “destination fee”. Why on earth not just be honest about the room rate? 2) the $17 per person free drink voucher which could only be used for a drink that cost $17 or less. Needless to say the drinks we ordered were not $17 or less. It was clever though - to use one voucher we ended up needing to buy 3 drinks because the first two didn’t count!"
