“Clean, spartan, central”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel is clean, spartan, but central to the wharf. On the other hand nothing is far in Klaksvik. The lady at the front desk was more than nice and the lady who perpared the room also appeared eager to make us feel good. Parking is limited (as far as we could tell) to the area in front of the hotel but we did OK. I would recommend this hotel. In you are going to the Faroe Islands you are not going for high end travel in the first place and this hotel will meet your needs. The rooms are clean, a little drab, but perform all the functions a hotel room should. Ask for a room with a view of the harbor. It is worth the wait. There is a sign on the front door waying "Tourists welcome". I think they meant it.

“Beautfiul view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2008

Stayed at this hotel in early August. The hotel was very easy to find, even though it is in the 2nd largest city in the Faroe Islands. Easy parking at the front of the building and a level walk into the hotel to be greeted by friendly staff at reception.
Check-in was efficient and our room was very clean with a big bathroom and a lovely view of the harbour from both rooms. Plenty of towels and a bathmat. Dinner was very nice, but our biggest surprise was to see a toaster at the breakfast buffet, so we had our first pieces of toast in 4 days!! The rest of the buffet was very good as well, with the usual things like juices, cold meats, cheese, eggs, cereals, bread and tea or coffee. Staff were attentive on check-out, even making sure we headed off in the right direction to our next destination.

  • Liked — Friendly staff and the big bathroom.
  • Disliked — Nothing.

“Newly refurbished and decorated, excellent staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2008

people found this review helpful

I actually ended up in Hotel Klaksvik because I had to escape from the place I had booked before, which was the Hostel "Soli deo Gloria". That one is cheap but instead of being below average it is beyond imagination - a terrible place! But coming to Hotel Klaksvik... already the reception area gives a very good impression. The communal areas appear to be newly refurbished and nicely decorated with candles and flowers. The staff was incredibly friendly and caring. I booked a room with shared facilities (the shower was downstairs, which was a bit weird BUT I have hardly ever seen such a tidy and clean shower room but in much more expensive places). I found the breakfast decent and absolutely delicious. The hotel offers a great view on the bay of Klaksvik and is quite close to shops and one of the very few cafes and restaurants in this city. Absolutely recommendable!

  • Liked — cleanliness
  • Disliked — shower was three floors down - but again: very very clean and nice

“Functional, Best in Town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2007
5
people found this review helpful

This is the best hotel in Klaksvik, the second largest city in the Faroes.

I stayed here because it was close to the dive outfit I was diving with. Otherwise, there's little to do in Klaksvik.

The hotel is old but some floors have been re-done with fresh carpets in the corridors and in the rooms. The rooms are large, light and airy and have a vaguely institutional feel. But there are excellent views if you get a room facing the sea. Some rooms don't have toilets or showers and these are found in the corridor and kept as clean as the guests that use them keep them. I didn't get maid service during the two nights I stayed here. The bathroom is large and has a small sink, toilet and shower with no separate stall-just a shower curtain you wrap around it to prevent water from flying around the bathroom.

Breakfast is included in the price. They do a decent lunch buffet on Saturdays and a set lunch the other days. In the evening you can get cold cuts until 8 PM. The food is not that good and vegetarians will not have much to eat. The staff are friendly though and will try and rustle up some bread and cheese you can eat.

There is no Internet access and no phones in the rooms. Alcohol is not allowed.

It's a 2.5 hour bus ride from the airport. The bus station is a ten minute walk from the hotel. Look for the big blue building on a hill.
