This wonderful little hotel is in a great location! We had a lovely one-night stay at the Viking Inn. We made a last-minute decision to stay the night in Solvang, and I was able to book online and head right into our room. Air conditioning worked great and the room was very quiet. We would 100% stay here again!

Wonderful little hotel is in a great location!

While it was all too short with our one night stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations and amenities and location of the he Viking Inn. Owners notes and texts were helpful and personable and the renovated rooms were nicely accented and very comfortable. Our pet also enjoyed her stay.

Solvang overnight at the Viking Inn

If you’re looking for a cute, modern, and clean hotel in Solvang that is reasonably priced, then this is it! The Viking Inn surpassed our expectations. I knew it was a former motel that had been renovated, but it was even better than I thought - hardwood floors in room, stylish tile in bathroom, good amount of amenities in room (coffee, water bottles, HUGE cable TV, black out shades). We didn’t have time to take advantage of their offerings like wine passport, bikes, or fire pit, but I wish we could! I did have my morning coffee sitting outside on one of the chairs and I loved watching all the people and cars go by. Would return. 
Only thing that needs upgrading is the shower/tub - very old- but I know they are in the process of it.

Renovated hotel with charm

Did not disappoint! Saw the property on Motel Rescue and had to see for myself. Great location, friendly staff, contactless checkin so didn’t have to worry about keys. Parking was a little crazy but it was ok. It is a motel so not a lot of amenities but the room had coffee microwave and mini fridge. The black out shades were nice and didn’t need ear plugs. Overall it was just a great little stay!!!

Did not disappoint!

With so many choices of where to stay, it is sometimes hard to find the right place. My wife and I have stayed in Solvang many times over the years. From other hotels on one side to Motels in the middle to The Viking Inn. We have now found our little gem. The location is great because you are on the beginning of the strip or end depending on which way you came into town. You can park your car and never have to drive again until you are ready to leave. Also, you are not in the middle of town with all the nightlife hustle and bustle from the restaurant bars, but you are only a block away to walk home. 
The other benefit is getting personal treatment from staff or the owner Angie. This isn’t a place that just takes your booking money and off you go. The staff is courteous, friendly, welcoming, and informative. I feel like you get personalized service here. Guadalupe is the lady who does housekeeping and she is pays attention to the details and is super friendly and hard-working, so tip her when you stay. 
I would suggest you set real expectations of where you are at. You are not at a 5-star Ritz Carlton so don’t expect the same. But if you are looking for a quiet, clean, maintained and cared-for place then stop looking because the Viking Inn Motel is the place. You get little extras as well, like the benefit of a firepit, a coffee pot in the room, you have a mini fridge. Just little perks that make the stay better in my opinion. 
All the love and details that have gone into the renovating of this place show the love that Angie and her husband have for this little place and their guests. I highly suggest you stay here if you are not looking for a place to not break the budget, and don’t need the glamour of the Ritz but still want a safe, cared-for place to lay your head then the Viking Inn Motel is the place. 
Thank you Angie and staff, keep up the good work. See you next year. 


Little gem in the corner

Very comfortable and clean.  Old fashioned motel at a reasonable price.  I slept the best I had slept on my 2 week trip.  I loved the voucher to take to the bakery across the street.  It's a great idea and I wish more motels would do something like that.

Comfortable

It’s a work in progress. The Inn is currently being updated. Some notes the Inn could improve on: the bathroom doesn’t need all those drawers. An open counter below the sink is easiest to clean and doesn’t have to worry about moisture to wood drawers. Moisture warps the wood and paint fast. And if the soap dish could have ridges so the soap doesn’t get suck to the dish and dry faster would be easier to deal with as well. A full length mirror would be a nice addition to the door back of the door separating the bedroom (room 1). Everything else was nice. We found the paint color warm and comfortable, but not everyone would like a pink. Perhaps a neutral ivory that matches the new Viking Inn sign? Overall we enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again during our annual visit to Solvang. FYI readers! It’s next to a mini mart, super easy to pop over there and grab water or forgotten toiletries.

Work in progress but still a nice stay

We ended up staying here because our usual place was booked. We liked the contactless check-in w/the door code. Room was clean, upgraded and beds were comfortable. However, drapery was old and dirty, old toilet was noisy after flushing. The shower was hot w/good pressure. It’s a good situation for 2 people (2 Queen beds), but too small for 2 couples. Good for one night.

Good for one night…

This motel is a good budget option for those who want to be in downtown Solvang at a good price. The room is very basic ,but it is clean and the location is great. It is right on the main street in Solvang within walking distance of restaurants, bars and great pastry shops. It would be good for a family on a budget.

Good budget option

We stayed here only for one night. The hotels in the vicinity of Solvang is very expensive. This is close to downtown along Mission drive near all restaurants and shops. A typical motel where you can get all the basics. Room and bathroom is clean. The owner gave us a voucher for a Danish breakfast at Olsen's it was so good (Danish pastries). I will definitely stay here again when in Solvang.
