This is a 3 star rated hotel and I think that’s about right. When you visit the spectacular Faroe Islands you need to realise you will not find your large brand name shopping malls restaurants and hotels you see everywhere else. So what you get with this hotel is a steady Eddie place to rest with a great restaurant on site. If you get a 3rd or 4th floor room facing the harbour, you get great views. The bed is large and comfortable, soft and spongy. The Room is a good size and has a fridge. The bathroom is very basic, functional but basic. The tv has only 10 channels, all local and none English speaking. This isn’t a traditional hotel. If you are here for a few days and need a base to explore, this could be it. But it has no facilities if you are staying longer and want to spend more time in the hotel. I enjoyed my short stay. Would have no issues returning.

The room is very good, the facilities are very new, the breakfast is exquisite, the service is warm, the location is great, the scenery is very good, you can walk to the Chinese restaurant, parking is very convenient, there is a bonus supermarket next to it, and the transportation is very convenient

We had a family room, which was actually two rooms linked together. That worked really well, not least as then we had two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and I like that you can also request a variety of pillows. The rooms were very hot and you can't change the temperature. I had to request a fan, but they only had a tiny one. I really think you should be able to adjust the temperature in your own room, as we were quite uncomfortable. Also, I think the bathroom was somewhat style over function, as the showers look nice but were quite small, with an awkward door. For us vegans, the breakfast buffet was okay. There was muesli, bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, some fruit (grapes one day, melon another), oat milk, pea milk, and beans. The staff brought us vegan butter. For non-vegans, there was meat, eggs, smoked salmon, etc. It was nice that they offer a happy hour with a free wine or juice. The hotel has hot tubs, but you have to pay 150 DKK per person to use them, which is quite a lot when you compare that to the cost of going to the pool here, which includes hot tubs as well. Also, if you were just one person going to the hot tub alone, it would be 150 DKK, but for 4 people using it at the same time, it would be 600 DKK. That makes no sense. The hotel info says you need to give them 30 min notice to use the hot tub, but the staff told us it would take at least 60 min to heat it up, so we didn't bother. A final, tiny note -- the hotel has what they label a ”handicap toilet”. That's an offensive term in English now, so I was quite surprise to see that. It should be ”disabled toilet” or ”accessible toilet”. In short, it was quite a good hotel with a good location for visiting Torshavn and the rest of the Faroes.

We had such a wonderful stay at Hotel Hafnia and it began long before we arrived in the Faroe Islands. I was trying to plan from thousands of miles away and Susanna was so gracious and patient, answering all my questions as I narrowed down hotel options and dates. This trip was initially envisioned for the summer of 2020 and as I started reaching out to tour guides that I had been in contact with in 2020 in the hopes of re-creating the trip, and didn't get responses even though the website still looked live, Susanna provided additional recommendations (the previous company had apparently gone out of business during covid). She went above and beyond as did everyone else that is on the general information group email. Once we arrived we were so impressed by how helpful and friendly everyone was. The breakfasts were great and our accommodation (we opted to stay in one of the cottages) was unique and really added to the overall experience. I could not recommend this hotel more (perfect location as well!) and am already looking forward to a second visit.

We had an excellent stay at the Hotel Torshavn. The room was very comfortable, the staff were efficient and friendly and the restaurant was excellent. A great place to stay and see the Faroes. We very much enjoyed visiting the many fascinating places on the islands.

The hotel overlooks the entire Toles Harbour on the mountain. The sunrise and sunset are beautiful. The hotel room is relatively large. The disadvantage is that the kitchenette has no stove. There is a microwave oven to heat up. It can't cook. The breakfast is very rich, but I stayed for 4 days. The variety of breakfast every day has not changed at all. It is recommended to have changes.
