The Viking is not in a good area. Hotel staff are surly. Room was cramped. Continental breakfast was poor.

As many of people said - the proportion between the price and conditions is kept :) However, it is a really clean and safe place which I could recommend. It has good access to local communication.

just booked on the same day we arrived. it was quite cheap for a 2persons room - 57 pouds for both. unfortunately it took us ages to reach the city center by bus from there! with the metro its a bit faster, but u have to walk for some minutes.
the beakfast was not a real english one, only toasts, butter, jam, cheese and ham... but therefore it was cheap.
all in all an Ok stay.
