“Still the sailors home above anything”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

The history of the hotel is revealed in the lift's permit slip "Sømandshjemmet". The comfort is at average, but the room was very cold because people used the fire-escape stairs to lounge in to smoke so the hallways where very cold. It took me 3 days to adjust the heaters in the room to a comfortable level, and still the wind where blowing in under the door. Also the high traffic on the hallways to get to the fire escape for a smoke disturbed my sleep more nights than not.

I will not stay at this hotel again if I can avoid it.

“Good stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

Great location with a beautiful view of the harbour in the front. It is not easy to find parking around, as the most places are private.
Rooms are small but adequate and very clean with confortable double beds.
Excellent breakfast, Skandinavian style. I did not eat at the restaurant.
Friendly staff, ever helpful and efficient.

“Splurge for the harbor view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Spent 4 nights at Hotel Torshavn on our trip to the Faroes. At the time of booking we had a hard time justifying the extra cost for the harbor view rooms but it is absolutely worth it. The view is outstanding and you can watch the container ships and ferries coming in and out of the harbor. The rooms are a bit small but well appointed. Heavy curtains keep the light out during the summer. Breakfast was excellent, with a mix of breads, cereal, eggs, bacon and meats/cheeses. It can be a bit noisy if you have the windows open as there is a bar on the ground floor and a club just across the street. Nothing too loud though.

“Good business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Had a nice three day stay in the bridal suite. The rooms are a bit small and sparsely furnished, really more of a business hotel than a fancy luxury vacation spot. But it was quiet and comfortable and the staff was friendly. Great location, easy walk to everything. Nearby free parking is easy.
