Currently at the Vikingen just now, we are here for 1 week and we are currently on day 3. On arrival we checked in, make sure you have your booking number as they don’t allow without, unusual as normally only have to give name etc when checking in. Couldn’t connect to WiFi - there is a €10 charge per person per week - so the guy at the desk logged me on through his WiFi - sketchy. Anyway got our room and headed up, on first site the hotel is dated and I need of update and repair. The room is worn, we are a family of four, rooms are 1 single bed, 1 double and a sofa - which we had to ask to be made up as no extra sheets, only provided 2 towels, had to ask for more also. First morning head down to breakfast - don’t expect much if you like cereal, continental, healthy breakfast or hot food. French fries seem to be a favourite for breakfast here, can’t get toast as machine broke and still not repaired, hot food is always cold, kids can’t get cereal unless they love the sugary filled multi coloured variety. Selection of fruit poor and often not ripe enough to eat. Coffee is dreadful, milk is water. Meat is all processed. All in all awful. Lunch at the snack bar - again food is always cold, offer baked potatoes, burgers, nuggets, chips, salad etc. better than breakfast. Dinner is again cold food that should be hot, the whole buffet experience is awful, it’s like feeding time at the zoo. I’ve been to many all inclusive but never experienced madness like this before. The staff say very little, not helpful or unhelpful, most can barely speak English, when asked where we were from they had never heard of Scotland. Evening entertainment is awful, went to the Madonna show - for a family hotel the show was very provocative, most of the audience left, the singers mimed and the dancing lack lustre. I could go on and on but hate moaning. I’m failing to see the 5 stars in this hotel.
