I stayed at Hotel Streym during July for three nights. The reception responded very quickly on my emails and I got good answers on my questions. I also hired a car thru Streym, they have a fairly good price. The procedure for hiring and getting the car was very simple without formalities - good !

Torshavn is not a large town, the location is good, although not as central as Hotel Hafnia or Hotel Torshavn, but a couple of minutes walk won't hurt.

The buffetbreakfast was good - scandinavian style.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in a personal way.

Because I travelled solo I got a single room on the back of the house - ie no view of the sea, but quiet. However be aware of that the single rooms are rather small, the last night the room was so small that I could not fould up my suitcase on the floor and in the same time open the door to the bathroom. I did however get a discount for that last night.

In summary: A hotel with good value and nice friendly staff - recommended !

We stayed here for a week in July 2011 and would definitely stay here again. It calls itself a no-frills hotel and I would agree but it has everything you need for a great stay in the Faroe Islands. We booked a good while in advance and managed to get a very good deal with the hotel. The per-night price is not cheap compared to other locations but it is very reasonable for the Faroe Islands.

Rooms - rooms were a good size and very clean. Each room is en-suite and our bathroom was a good size with heated flooring. Furniture is by Ikea and the decor is minimal but the rooms are bright and airy and ours had a great view of Nolsoy (mist allowing!). There was a television in the room that showed three Danish channels and wi-fi was avaialble in the room with computer available in the breakfast room for all guests to use. The only negative was that the walls were quite thin so you could hear your neighbours quite clearly.

Location - a short walk from the harbour/bus terminal, the hotel is in a great location. Everything in Torshavn is walkable from the hotel and bus routes 2 and 3 also stopped outside if you wanted to head a bit further out of town (to the History Museum for example).

Breakfast - it is great to have this included in the room price as eating out in the Faroes can be quite pricey and there is limited choice. The breakfast buffet included coffee/tea, juices, cereal, fruit, breads, cheese, meats, eggs and yogurt so there should be something for everyone. Tea and coffee were also available in the breakfast room all day which was very welcome after a day walking in the rain!

Staff - the staff were very friendly and helpful both during the booking process and during our stay.

I rented a car from the hotel and that worked out great, and the price per day was good. The hotel is clean, the staff nice and very helpful. I like that they think of the environment, no changing of sheets or towels during the five nights I spent. Location is great, a few minutes walk to the center.

I spent a week at this hotel and my opinion is very positive.
The location is easily accessible by car and both the port and the city center are within a few minute walk. Rooms are basic but spacious, clean and often with great view of the sea and the island of Nolsoy.
Breakfast is good but there isn't a restaurant . WiFi is free in both rooms and common areas : there is also a desktop computer for those who don't have their .
In my opinion, the strength of the hotel is the staff very helpful and friendly : they always helped me with booking ferries or giving travel suggestions .
On request there is also a car rental service, without formalities and very comfortable.
