Hotel Føroyar

Frankly? This overpriced tourist trap punches below its own belt — every single time. Breakfast is a scrum, not a meal — forget starting your day right. The rooms are stuck in another decade, and they still have the nerve to charge extra for the pool. Underwhelming doesn't even cover it.

Truly wonderful hotel! Very clean and with a spectacular view of Thorshavn. The food was excellent and the staff was super friendly!

Quiet location and all amenities

Superb location for the view, but very far from the restaurants on the port and a very steep climb. We had to have dinner at the hotel.

We had a really pleasant stay at Hotel Føroyar overall! The location of the hotel is great—it is situated slightly outside the main city center of Tórshavn, nestled up on the hillside. If you rent a car like we did, it is super quick and convenient to drive down into town within just a few minutes, while allowing you to enjoy a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing atmosphere away from the busier city streets. The staff members here were fantastic throughout our entire visit. Everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help us with local tips or any requests we had. Our guest room was spotless and exceptionally clean, which is something we always value a lot when traveling. The overall modern design and aesthetic of the hotel were really nice as well. The only minor drawback worth noting is that the rooms aren't super soundproof. We noticed that you could occasionally hear footsteps in the hallway or conversations from neighboring rooms. It wasn't a huge dealbreaker for us, but if you are a very light sleeper, bringing a pair of earplugs might be helpful. Overall, with the great staff, clean rooms, and convenient location, I’d still highly recommend staying here!

A very pleasant hotel to stay in. The staff is welcoming. The rooms are clean. The food served at breakfast is fresh, delicious, varied and even caters to the vegetarians among the guests. The hotel's surroundings are natural with wild vegetation as befits the Faroe Islands.

I was quite disappointed, especially given how excited I was for this stay. We booked a family room in the annex, which looked spacious in the online photos. In reality, I genuinely don't know how it would comfortably accommodate more than two people. The room also had no windows that opened, making it stuffy, hot, and very dark. I asked reception if we could change rooms, and thankfully they were able to move us for four of our five nights (for an additional fee). Unfortunately, we had to return to the annex for our final night. The breakfast was probably the highlight of our stay. It was a standard hotel breakfast, but consistently decent. I would recommend making the most of it each morning, as we found it surprisingly difficult to find decent food elsewhere on the island. We had dinner at Ruts on our last night, and it was very underwhelming, especially considering the €250 bill for 2 people. My fish had clearly been frozen and was unpalatable. The front-of-house staff were helpful but not particularly warm. The standout member of the team was a kind woman with dark, short, curly hair who greeted us at breakfast each morning. The hotel itself was in need of a deep clean and repairs. It was very dusty, had paint chipping, etc. However, the grounds were very beautiful. It works for people who plan on spending most of their day off-property. If we return to the island, I can't say I would choose to stay here again.
