Giljanes Hostel
8 á Hillingatanga, 360 Sandavágur, Faroe Islands – Great location - show map
This hostel was a great choice for backpacking. It’s close to the airport and Trælanipa Lake, and has a bus stop a couple minutes away to easily get to Torshavn and beyond. The facilities are nice and there is a big kitchen and rest area so you can make your own food. The owner was incredibly kind and will be happy to give you advice on pretty much anything you need. It even has great views and most importantly of all a friendly cat. Definitely would stay here again if I am lucky enough to return one day!
