Viking Lodge Motel

What guests think

At Viking Lodge Motel, travellers highlight a peaceful oceanfront setting with beautiful views in a secluded location, reached by a rough gravel road, and a 20-30 minute drive from St. Anthony and nearby attractions like L’Anse aux Meadows.

Rooms are rustic and often spacious and comfortable, though several note no air conditioning or opening windows leading to warm nights, and mixed mattress comfort. Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating, but guests also report self-serve check-in and times when staff are hard to find. The complimentary continental breakfast is generally appreciated for a simple selection, though some found it limited or occasionally understocked. Expect a quiet, scenic stay for travellers comfortable with an off-the-beaten-path setting and low-key amenities.

Nice, clean, well maintained rooms with lots of space. Very relaxing space with a big yard on the water. You can term that a good effort was made building this place. The continental breakfast has a good selection of store bought items. Never met anyone from the property (even check in was just a note with keys), despite seeing owners management (?) around from time to time sorting out 4 night stay. They seemed to be avoiding contact which felt a little odd. The outdoor hot tub was empty.

A beautiful quiet property on the beach with lots of outdoor chairs and a lovely deck area, with adequate rooms, but lacking any windows aside from the glass door, lacking watchable TV with no news or sport channels, and no ice.

The ceiling fan in the main room was a touch noisy and the bathroom fan operates in tandem with the light switch which I only mention because I found the cabin to be a touch toasty which may not be the case for all guests.All in all the cabin was perfectly adequate The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast room was well stocked and the staff were pleasant. Would consider returning in the future.

The few towels we got were so worn. It said breakfast provided. It was actually a very limited continental breakfast. I wouldn’t recommend this place to stay

Lovely motel right on the water. Good continental breakfast. Room clean, with a bed and one table and two chairs. Good tub and shower in bathroom. I think some of the rooms were a bit upgraded, but ours had an older, somewhat saggy bed. We did have a tv and small refrigerator. Good value for the location. There actually was no laundry on the premises.

We really enjoyed our stay here - the room was clean and quite comfortable, check in was quick and easy, and the view from our side of the building was very nice. On a clear morning we could just see out to Labrador. We had to leave too early to enjoy breakfast, but if we're back in the area we will certainly consider staying here again.

There during hot spell, but given no windows hard to cool the room with small window and old fan, plus mosquitoes came in from ripped screen. Not that close to town (it’s more than 15 minutes going the speed limit). Pictures of breakfast on Hotels.com are misleading. Breakfast is wonder bread and packaged jam, nothing special and all served with single use plates and styrofoam bowls. Not eco friendly.

A bit off the beaten track (dirt road with potholes) but enjoyable and remote. Rooms do not have windows. The door has windows but they do not open. No ventilation in bathroom. It was cool for us (late August) but not sure what they do in hot weather. No rain gutters so we had to dash through the ‘waterfall’ to get into the room during a rain storm. Clean rooms and great staff. Oh and bring earplugs … could hear our neighbours talking and later snoring.

We stayed here for two nights while in the L'anse Meadows area. It is in a quiet secluded area and a bit out of the way from L'anse Meadows and St. Anthony. It was about a 20-25 minute drive to St. Anthony where most area restaurants are located. The rooms are very large and a bit rustic (in a good way). We had a large jacuzzi tub which was a very nice touch. The check in and check out process was very good. The continental breakfast was great. The owners were very friendly. Unfortunately it was very cold during our stay so we could not enjoy the wonderful view by the sea that the location offers.

We drove through some potholes on the highway and blew a tire. It was getting dark and I got really scared and worried so I phoned the motel and told him where we were. Ted drove 25 minutes and helped us and drove another 25 minutes back. He also provided lots of helpful advice so that we got to get the tire checked up and changed by a garage the next day. Also, the view and breakfast there were wonderful. We saw an iceberg right in front of our room! It’s also our pleasure to get to meet the granddog Finny! Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness! It was a wonderful experience staying with you. We will visit again if we ever go to Pistolet Bay! Shannon and Colin

This was an interesting sort of “self-serve” lodging as we never met a manager. Notes and directions. But it was excellent, room very nice and clean, breakfast similar to many (carbos, no protein, no gf), but nicely presented in a v pleasant room and setting. Loved the location and ability to take a walk, and get to other sites locally. Mosquitos fierce and seemed to get into the room no matter what. Had to hunt them down before going to bed! But that is par for the course in that area. Highly recommended still!
