Unfortunately the room smelled like mold. Probably a ventilation problem.

Huge free parking in front of the guesthouse. Pool table, table tennis, and a small gym are available to guests for free. Nice view on the harbour from the windows. Staff was kind.

There are not enough power sockets in the room. Some of the available ones are hard to reach. We did not have hangers in the room or a place to let towels properly dry. There was no cleaning or trash removal during our stay (7 days).

Great selection of breakfast choices. Coffee and tea are available all day. The view from our room was nice, but the room itself is very primitive. For us, wifi worked on the 4th floor. There was no need to use Ethernet connection. Torshavn city buses stop close to the hostel and grocery store 'Bonus' is within 2 minutes.

It's a bit far from the town centre, especially when going back to the hostel, as it's all uphill. If you depend on the free buses to take you to and from town, it might take some time to understand the schedules, and the buses don't run that frequently in the evenings and weekends.

It's an old school from the 70's and looks quite basic, so we were a bit sceptical at first, but it turned out to be a really comfortable place to stay. It really has everything you need, and the amazing view over the town and the breakfast exceeded expectations.

The door handle to the Rom fell off. The water ran continiously in the toilet. Impression of lack of maintenance.

Fine facilities, fine breakfast, free warm coffee all day.

At this price I'd expect a shower, let alone a squeegee to clean the water in the shower.

Great staff, great breakfast

No elevator to get to third floor and very steep stairs.

Breakfast was good.

These are the pointers and something to bear in mind: -when there is a fog - finding the dorms are a pure luck; - bathroom/toilet are within the same space as the rooms - meaning, I had the pleasure to hear my neighbour! I thought that the bathroom will be under the key for both rooms (see photos); - internet is not great, but work ok in the reception area or downstairs; - as mainly all the necessary information is online - do get yourself internet when traveling to Faroes in general. Internet is not everywhere and even when it is accessible it can be poor and when the weather is bad - it is non existent. - the place had some hot options - well, served in bowls does not keep them hot or warm, so continental should be main option; - just to reiterate that there is no lift, so heavy suitcases would be a bit difficult going; - as reception is kind of available from 2pm, there is a phone number to call. Well, for people from abroad it costs a fair penny to call, so it is not such a good option; - lastly, the payment. When I booked it, the message stated that monies will be taken before the arrival. We left the place and moved to Vagar Island where we received email that stated to use the link to make payment! Surprise we did not wish to expect. We checked the CC that payment indeed was never taken - frustrating as we like to pay ahead so we can budget the spending money. Also - people might not pay! Email is a bit poorly translated in English - did took couple times to read as one part stated - your booking will be confirmed upon payment! We just left!

When we booked the property we were aware of sharing the bathroom and the fact that those were dorms, however think more information could have been provided. Location wasn't bad per se, but it is fairly out of the centre - walking down is fine, but up in the hill on the way back - not so much. In general terms it cost like GBP70 including breakfast, so for the Faroe islands that is a pretty good deal. I have never been in the dorms, but did think that they will be reasonably "modern" - well they are not. Of course, need to take all your toiletries and hair dryer if one needed. Some repair works needed as we equally got stuck in the toilet! The 2 beds are a bed and a sofa. There is no furniture and nowhere to dry your towel. The rooms that share facilities are in the one place - so you need to hope that your neighbour will be reasonable! We were not so lucky! This is something to bear in mind. Reception works only from 2pm (if so) to 10pm. There is no material about the Islands - you get something at the Information centre. As for the any timetables - all online. Tea and coffee facilities were available in the breakfast area.

It was not described as student accommodation.

Breakfast was fine.

Stayed in July 2022

We did not realize that the guesthouse is actually a residence for students during the school year. This makes it very much "institutional" and it doesn't have a very nice or friendly vibe that you would normally expect from a guesthouse.

The guesthouse is decent value for money, is acceptably clean and has a pool table and piano guests can use.

Compared to what you get the price was expensive. You had to make your own bed and you only got one bath towel and no hand towel (even if one is pictured in the photos). I also got issues with breathing and got a flu that got worse when staying in the room. The room air is horrible, moist and there is for sure mould as I got astma attacks and a bad cough etc. – it got better when I was out of the room/the guest house. We had to keep the window open to bare. For the last night I had to leave as I could not stay there any longer. If you are sensitive, I would say this is a health hazard and makes you feel cheated paying a lot for almost nothing. I am not picky, so this experience was among the worst I have ever had. Also with some innovative additions you could make the stay better. There was not even two beds in a 2 person room, one bed and one sofa, no hooks to hang your clothes. No cups/mugs for drinking. No water boiler. Nothing. Only one desk with one chair for 2 persons. The toilet and the shower floors flooded and no way to dry the floor. I had to get more toilet paper myself as there seemed not to be personnel available. The breakfast ladies did not even give you a smile nor greet you even if you said good morning. All in all a quite horrible experience and I would recommend not anyone to stay here – it is an old building and the host is using it to collect money with the least effort possible or that is how it felt.

The only real good thing about this accommodation was the breakfast. The location is up the hill but there are buses going. The wifi was good.
