    Our actual room was cramped for space but the bed was comfortable.

    The property included a wonderful fine dining restaurant with views over the old town & the ocean.

    I would have liked a more « local » experience at the restaurant. The dishes are very good and well cooked, it s just that there were no really local dishes on the menu.

    rooms with no view (main building and annex) were very basic. bed was very soft. bathroom facilities very dated/mouldy. cleanliness could be better. all in all too expensive for the service you get, but the location does to some extent make up for it.

    beautiful location, nice walks nearby.

    We couldn't find any staff after 8 or 9pm. We don't know how to lock the room door, but couldn't find any staff to help. However as Faroe islands is safe, we didn't lock the room door that night.

    The room and toilet are spacious and clean.

    As it is so isolated, the restaurant prices are too high for what is served. The food is average, but portions are small for what is essentially very expensive prices. It’s about £40 for a plate of lamb with bone. The solution is to increase portions of quality ingredients (not just add more fries) or lower the costs.

    The location is beautiful, rugged (the drive is phenomenal) and the beds are cosy. The staff in the evening were really friendly. We stayed in the annex and woke up in the morning to breathless views. The local town is quieter in September with dramatic hiking. If you are thinking of moving around whilst on the Faroe Islands, this is a good stop over. Breakfast was also generous with salmon and various buffet options. I like to eat a hearty morning meal and I left satisfied.

    After arriving we decided to upgrade our room to the Annex as the rooms in the property felt a little like a dorm. The breakfast items could be topped up more quickly

    It was very comfortable and the the inclusive breakfast was great. The additional cultural evening (only during summer months) was excellent.

    Good breakfast, although they seem to serve the very same, a bit limited thing every day. Which is not a big deal if you are there for just a couple days, but could be if you decided to stay there for a week.

    Not being a morning person, 10a check was a bit early but I managed ;)

    The guesthouse manager, Inga, was phenomenal! She personalized the service not just for me, but all the guests. She made certain we all felt welcome and whatever our needs were, were met. She even found a euro plug adapter for me for my devices after I managed to leave mine at an earlier hotel when I was in Iceland. I need to clarify, when I say “found” I mean while in the closest town ( at least an hour roundtrip) she picked one up for me ( of course I paid her for it). It was truly a critical need for me to be able to recharge my camera batteries. Let it be known too, USA to Euro adapters are difficult to find in standard places on the islands…but she knew of a place! The guesthouse’s location in Gjogv is beautiful and the dinners were exceptional ( even if a bit pricier than my preferred). In the end, it was so good that I felt the value and experience were well worth the few extra krona!

    Our room was very basic and utilitarian - no extra comfort or design. You could either sit on your single bed or a hard chair. I appreciate that there is probably a space issue but a guests lounge or bar would be a great addition. We were in the Annex - about 100m from the hotel - all the rooms are in a straight line so people walk past your little bedroom.

    The most comfortable beds we slept on in the Faroe Islands - but we like soft beds. Nice to have some English TV channels as there is nothing to do in the evenings. Appreciated the hotel reaching out to us before our stay to ask us if we wanted to book dinner with them which we did. I'd advise you to do the same - the food was excellent, fairly priced and there is absolutely nowhere to get an evening meal in Gjov. The manager was so helpful and a very nice man. Breakfast was very nice - lots of choices and all lovely and fresh. Dining room staff were particularly helpful and pleasant.

    The walls are a bit thin in the annexe building so in the evenings you can hear everyone talking and walking around but we were tired enough by the end of the day that it didn't bother us too much!

    We stayed in the annexe which is a little further down from the main building, but what a view from the room!! Probably our favourite thing about this place. The annexe rooms are a bit basic, but comfortable and quite spacious. Great location too as it is just a short walk from the natural harbour where we found puffins! Breakfast was great, and we had dinner here one night and the food was amazing! You have to book dinner in advance though as they are quite popular.
