    Only bathroom and toilet. An extra toilet would have been useful. A new bathroom sink wouldn't go a miss.

    Good location. Comfortable lounge and dining area.

    The bathroom in the 1st floor is quite small and really not suitable for tall people. However, of course you can also use the bathroom in the ground floor. Garbage had to be disposed of by oneself.

    The accomodation is very centrally located and easy to find. The self check-in went very smoothly.

    An Impersonal but Satisfactory Accommodation Option in Torshavn
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Double Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 7 nights

    It is a self-catering property, with no meals provided and no contact with the owners, who communicate via a property management company called Vert. It is assumed that guests travel with mobile phones and/or laptops (I don't). Vert's computer system generates a lot of e-mails, some of dubious value. Though it didn't happen to me (at least so far), Vert's terms include provision for fines if the place is not left in pristine condition, which you can't guarantee if other guests leave after you. The room keys are obtained via two codes, one for the front door and one for a key box for your apartment inside. This works more smoothly than I'd feared, but the outer door often rejects the correct code, forcing you to re-enter it. Either a map or Google Maps are a great help with finding the place, which is in a quiet side street out of the centre.

    The property has spacious, comfortable rooms, a shared kitchen, bathroom with washing machine and a pleasant lounge. Food storage space is above average. It is (as advertised) about ten minutes' walk from downtown, though only once you have worked-out the route through Torshavn's twisting streets. After booking, I was sent a link to the Faroes Tourism website, which provided a wealth of information on public transport, hiking and much else, which was invaluable in planning my visit.

    Due to the small size of the room the air circulation and smell wasn’t the best. I tried to open windows now and then, but the weather was a bit rough

    The location is quite central and good value for the money.

    The walls are very thin - so everything from the next door can be heard. Also there was a problem with the locks and keys - they were very old and not working smoothly.

    The location is good - city center is close by. Guesthouse has all the equipment you might need for your stay, even for longer visit - like washing machine and dryer. The kitchen is fully equiped. Guesthouse is very clean.

    More like a youth hostel with eight rooms, very thin walls between, not user friendly bathroom under the top roof and a little bit too many follow-up emails about rules, household references.

    Good location, professional hostel-like makings, great kitchen equipments with fridge and dishwaaher.

    The room was one of the biggest issues, nothing to hang clothes, towels, and could use some extra power outlets. The windows won’t open more than a few centimeters so it got not that much fresh air. We didn’t meet the staff at any point, we didn’t see anyone there ever, so hard to give an opinion on that. All communication was through booking during the office hours.

    The common spaces were the best thing. They were wide, the kitchen was very well equipped and the TV room had great coaches. WiFi was also really good. Location was also great, supermarket at just one block away. There’s parking at the property for about 4 cars, only if people make the effort to properly park. If not, could be reduced to 3 spots.

    Bathrooms need updating. No Soundproofing at all, you will here everything. The moment the first person gets up in the morning the whole house is awake.

    Nice Location, 10 Min walk to Downtown is no Problem at all. Room itself was fine, very basic, comfy bed. Kitchen was well equipped.

    Hi. This a Guesthouse, old but painted and clean. Bed in my room was fine and clean sheeds and towels. All doors old andnot resoneble lockers. Bathrooms one upstairs on one downstairs - low low resonabble. Kitchen is and that room is the best place there, bright and spacy. One small fridge and big freaser. High temp cooking machine, beware. Saloon with televison and almost no staitions and works for 30 min. - Before checking in " even booked by Booking.com" Another companie takes over. " Vert " is the name. You are obliged before getting cote to Pay 125 euros before you can open the door. The place is ok on the other hand.
