“Top end hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A topend hotel. A bit 1950like, Bathrooms could need a make ove r(and being larger). the location is more central than you can imagine: harbour ( the remaining ferries to Suðuroy, Nólsoy, Denmark and Iceland), old administration center (Tinganes - prime tourist target), main shopping street etc. are all max. 50-100 m away.

Breakfast is good (inclkuded): freshly bakes variety of bread, cheeses, cold cuts, herring - all the usual Scandinavian. Also bacon/scrambled: bacon perfect, eggs unedible mashed potato like stuff IMHO (powder?).

Even with a major street (remember Tórshavn only 20,000 inh) in front, the rooms are quiet - if yuo cannot stand a few drunken yougsters on a Friday night ask for room at backside.

Of course there is free WiFi internet. Some free parking behind hotel + free nightweekend parking on street in front.

Very efficient + kind and service minded staff.

Take the lift for the roof terrasse for the view.

“Basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

Basic hotel, free wifi, good breakfast. The hotel was nothing out of the ordinary but rather a old hotel.

Dear Sir.
Thank you for staying at Hotel Hafnia and for your review. Hotel Hafnia was build in 1951, so yes, it is an old building. The rooms are all renovated during the years of 2005-2007. I am sorry to see that you did not find our service satisfactory. We are known to provide a very good service and our goal is that any guest feels at home here. I will look into this matter.
You are most welcome to contact us again, when you choose to come back to the Faroe Islands.
Yours sincerely
Hotel Hafnia

“Very Nice...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

This is a very nice hotel, an old building with a panorama terraces on the roof. The rooms are small with old TVs hanging off the corners with horrible picture but then you did not come to the Faroes to watch TV, right? :) Teapot, tasty tap water (no calcium, by the way, AT ALL), single beds with single blanket may mean that your waistline is bigger than size 38, your blanket may be too small for you :) (I'm size 33) - The heater is regulated by you, so it should not be a problem. The staff is simply AMAZING. Cheerful, ever helpful and highly professional. Breakfasts are very well-stocked with the usual things - but no made-to-order omelettes - but you can enjoy herring with beets instead (yummy, and full of protein).
You can walk to a supermarket SMS (about 15-20 min) where you can buy almost anything - freshest bread, all kinds of bakery, fish, mineral water, vegetables, cheeses and even whale carpaccio.
Hotel restaurant's menu is published on their website - quite, QUITE pricey :)
Free wireless for all on all floors, though you may have to move closer to the transmitter to get a very good reception.

Would stay again - good location, great staff, great food, clean. Room old fashioned, but that's nice. Free wifi too. Nice enough, no complaints!
