Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The room was a spacious suite. The bed was comfortable, the heat and water were great, the hostess is kind and helpful and tries hard to make it a home. Groceries are nearby and all highway connections are close. A 25 minute walk from downtown, which is about right. Annilise brought us flowers and chocolate!

Featuring city views, Heart of the City (Hotel Bólið Guesthouse) in Tórshavn features accommodation and a garden. The property has sea and mountain views, and is 1.6 km from Sandagerð Beach. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

June was an excellent host and was very reactive go my messages. She even gave me some food during the stay. The room was clean and comfy, there was no disturbance during the night and the location is closed to the city center. There are spaces around to park your car.

Located in Tórshavn, The Bird / Guesthouse / 10 min Walk Downtown is 1.5 km from Sandagerð Beach. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge.

At the guest house, units include a desk. The units have a shared bathroom. At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels.

The property did exceed my expectations. Especially from the POV of price. It's cheap yet great. Location is no problem as there are 2 bus stops close to the property that can take you everywhere in the town. Cleanliness was on point. Didn't really interact with the staff but I can say they very well knew of their jobs. The view from all the rooms were just great.

This guesthouse, located in the centre of the coastal city of Tórshavn, is 500 metres from Tórshavn Ferry Terminal. Guests have free Wi-Fi.

The bright rooms of 62N Guesthouse - City Center have either private or shared bathroom facilities. Some rooms include a TV.

Perfect location, friendly staff, best pancakes for breakfast I have ever tasted (and that includes living in the US). I was upgraded to a larger room with a private bath without asking, because there were few other bookings.

This guesthouse is in south-western Tórshavn, 20 minutes’ walk from the city centre. It offers free parking as well as panoramic views of the Nólsoy fjord. Free WiFi is available in the reception area.

Maybe the best value in Breakfast was good. Location was not right downtown but more above town, loads of parking.

    Wow! Great hosts! They provided a lot of useful information, both written and during conversation. Easy to get hold on and always helpful. Walking distance to the city center and also possible to park free of charge outside. Great system in the kitchen, easy to use and a lot of space. You have a Bonus shop (Cheap option) just a few minutes drive away where you will find all you need for breakfast and other meals! I loved the TV in the room with free access to Netflix!

    The hotel is very central in Torshavn, and within walking distance to most interesting places in the city. People are really friendly, and it's easy to get in contact with locals.

    A large, bright apartment with all conveniences. Made us feel like we were at home. Car parking on site was very useful. Very convenient location, just a short walk to the old part of town. Lovely host with good suggestions.

    Marna is a great host, we were warmly welcomed by her. The guess house is clean and the common areas are perfect to meet and share a meal or a drink with fellow travellers. The host was very attentive and friendly towards everyone.

    It was in a great location, nice view, good sized apartment, great price!!! What wasn't to like? Leona is a friendly and lovely host and when we had an issue with something she dealt with it immediately! She gave us some great tips for places to visit and left us some goodies! I would definitely recommend for anyone including a suitable sized family.

    Everything was perfect. The apartment is beautiful and has all you can need. Álvur is a great host. He left some groceries and drinks in the apartment and he also spent time with us giving information about the islands and the history of the Faroese people. Absolutely recommended!

    Marna is such a great host – very friendly and helpful and does everything she can to make your stay as good as possible. The place itself was very nice. The room was comfortable, the kitchen/lounge facilities were just what I needed, and it's just a short walk from the centre of town (though beware the big hill!). Totally recommend this place!
