"A lovely place to stay in Torshavn.
Pros:
- Lots of living space
- Clean and tidy
- Central location - easy walk into Torshavn
- Lovely modern bathroom
- Well equipped (down to the details of food bags and tin foil for packed lunches)
Cons:
- No instructions were provided to find the key box to gain access to the property (we had the code but took us about 10 minutes in the rain to find the keybox)
- No blinds/curtains in the bathroom so had to makeshift one out of a shopping bag
- No dedicated parking (on street parking was 2 hours only between 9am and 6pm - was fine for us as we were out most of the day)
- Shower drain needed clearing - shower flooded on first use
- Very small bedrooms (but not a problem given the ample living space)
- There was only one breakfast bowl (that we could find)"
"Loved our stay here. Not fancy but comfortable and clean. Our “larger room with sea views” had stunning views over the harbor and the city. Great location by the harbor and close to the ferry terminal where the #300 airport bus terminates, along with other buses for island exploration. "
"Loved this property, especially the deck which we used quite a lot! We stayed here 7 days. Parking was 500 m away and included EV charging which we required as we had an EV rented. Easy to use and charging is free on the Faroe Islands!! Great central location for all our day trips. Fabulous kitchen for us to cook which we did most nights. Only complaint was on Saturday night the 2 pubs nearby got very loud around 2 in the morning. But the 2nd bedroom would have been quiet. We also had a difficult time finding the accommodation as the road is actually a named walking path. More clear instructions would have helped us. Overall highly recommend this place!"
"This is an excellent location, near to shops, restaurants and historic sites. The room, shared bathroom and public areas were clean with cooking and eating supplies.My frustration was the lack of a convenient wall outlet to charge a phone and bright bedside table lamps."
