Top Saksun Hotel Reviews

Hotel Djurhuus

Hotel Djurhuus

10/10 Excellent
"We got a regular room very last minute and it was clean and relatively spacious for a standard room. The breakfast is great. A lot of hotel in the Faroe Islands and Scandinavia (in my experience) tend to do just bread with topping but they had warm options as well which I appreciated (scrambled and boiled eggs, waffles with syrup and whipped cream). A very good continental breakfast. The beds were also very comfortable and our room had a great view of the coast. If you have a car the parking situation is not great. The parking lot is very small and you have to reverse/drive out directly onto a relatively busy road. However that is just part of being in Torshavn, anywhere you go there is limited parking and lots of large SUV’s so just be mindful."

Havgrím Seaside Hotel 1948

Havgrím Seaside Hotel 1948

10/10 Excellent
"It is a small hotel, so feels very intimate and cosy. We did not want to stay in a huge resort where it can get noisy. Also the location was essential for us be cause we did not have a car. You can walk to the old town in less than 10. minutes. There is actually a free bus stop 5 minutes away. It was also very quiet. The staff was very friendly and very helpful, they helped me several times with taxi bookings and general enquiries about buses and schedules. Breakfast is delicious and they accommodate everyone's needs. Their afternoon tea is a must-do. They also make you tea or coffee in the afternoon. You eat in the dining-room/lounge and the view is just breathtaking. Leftover pastries from morning breakfast is left out and you can have them for free. The pastries are excellent, by the way. There is a hot tub in the garden looking out on the sea and Nolsoy island. The view from our room was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel and will stay there if we go back to Torshavn."

Guesthouse In The Heart Of Tórshavn

Guesthouse In The Heart Of Tórshavn

10/10 Excellent
"This is a self-service guest house so do not expect hotel-level services. There is no staff on site. But it is an economical alternative to Torshavn's expensive hotels. Its location is unbeatable. During my stay all the other guests were respectful and quiet so there were no problems. The bathrooms are shared but proved to not be a problem. Different folks had different schedules so there was never an issue of accessing a bathroom. The hotels.com listing mentions parking. This is not correct. There is no dedicated parking. But there are a couple of public lots of only a modest walk away where you can park 23 out of 24 hours without moving your car. The public spaces in the immediate vicinity are free but restricted to 30 minutes or 2 hours...works well enough to unload your luggage but then you need to move your car to one of the longer term lots. The kitchenette is adequate. There is a shared fridge with a dedicate modest-sized space for each room, but no freezer. There are two food stores within 5 minutes' walk."
