The Viking House Hotel

We had a delicious meal in this perfectly located hotel over looking Cruit George was our gracious host. He was so welcoming, friendly and efficient. He made our visit there very pleasant. I had the chicken and veg curry - very tasty , and my sisters all had fish which was also an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

This is a hotel in desperate need of refurbishment. Looks like there has been no money spent on it since it was built in the mid 1990s. Hotel looks tired and dated and lacks any kind of atmosphere. Add to that an owner who doesn’t appear cut out for a customer facing role then you have a recipe for a pretty poor experience. WiFi virtually non-existent and even the tv didn’t work properly. On the plus side breakfast was decent, bed was comfortable, and a couple of the younger members of staff were doing their best.....but on the whole a poor experience

Myself & my husband stayed here for one night! The staff were warm, welcoming & very accommodating. The bedroom was perfect, cozy & we had a great nights sleep after such a long drive. Breakfast was delicious, the coffee lovely & strong & the service quick. Highly recommend, especially for hikers! We were given great recommendations for places to visit, mountain drives & fishing spots.

In passing this might look like a small insignificant hotel but it was far from it. The staff Eoin and Emma were lovely and really helpful. Although the bed was small it was spotless and ample for our needs. The food was excellent and a good selection of fresh fish and meats. The costs of our stay was very attractive and we cannot wait to return

Stayed here for two nights in mid June. Great location and views of the beach and that’s pretty much where it ends. After paying €120 plus per night there is a minimum standard you would expect and it was certainly not reached. It seems hotels in Ireland are charging premium prices for non existent service these days. My biggest gripes and observations: 1. No reception staff on duty on arrival. It seems the reception staff was the bartender and waiter. In fact there are very few staff here at all and guests are expected to wait! 2. Room had no Wi-Fi signal that was stable. 3. Beds and mattresses need replacing asap. 4. Bathroom in our room was tiny. Toilet I think was added later. Picture below. 5. Towels are disgusting, tiny and frayed. Should have been replaced ten years ago. 6. No room cleaning on second day. Standard in any one star hotel. 7. Breakfast was so hit and miss but mainly miss. Items ordered but never served. Long waits and one staff working who was under pressure because everyone came at the same time. But to be fair the waitress was very nice and did her best. A shining light at the hotel! 8. Food presentation was terrible. Ordered scrambled eggs and literally got a plate of scrambled eggs. No decoration, no toast nothing. This hotel was previously owned by the famous Irish singer Daniel O Donnell. Seems nothing has changed since he owned it a decade ago and current owners are living of the name. Time to change guys.
