A modern building with modern facilities. The building is buildt into the ground, giving the impression that its part of it. Good views from the windows towards Tórshavn.

This hostel has magnificent views... but you have to pay for the views, because it's a long uphill walk from town. The hostel itself is no-frills -- a "double room" is really a 4-bunk room reserved for two. On the positive side, the room is quite spacious. No breakfast is served, though you can purchase a pricey breakfast at the nearby 4-star Hotel Hotel Føroyar (incidentally, you'll also normally check in at the hotel). There is, however, a common refrigerator and kitchen for guests' use. Note you're expected to clean up after yourself. Coin-operated washing machines and dryers on the first floor; 6 x Kr 10 coins and 1 x Kr 2 coin are what you need to clean your clothes (Kr 30 for washer, Kr 30 for dryer, Kr 2 for detergent). The soda/snack machines also take Kr 10 coins. You can get change at the Hotel Føroyar counter.
When we stayed here (June 2007), we were charged DKK 370 per night for a double room. The website now says a room costs DKK 410. A bunk in a quad costs DKK 175. Hostel members can get about a DKK 15 discount. Sheets are not provided but mandatory. You can rent sheets from the hotel for a one-time fee of DKK 65. Note also that the hostel does not allow alcohol or tobacco.

Then walk up, up, UP... always making your way towards the Hyundai dealership on the hill. Turn left on the footpath until you see the hotel.

YHA Kerjalon belongs to 4-star Hotel Foroyar and is on top of a hill too. You can use some facilities of the hotel but the YHA has everything you need. A good bed, enough space for taking a shower and a big kitchen and washing area!! The surroundings of the hostel are just excellent!! It is 30 minute walk/climb from the city centre, going down goes faster and takes about 20 minutes!!

The campsite is about 1km out of town(which seemed like a lot further when I first arrived with my rucksack, on an unusually warm afternoon).
The campsite is somewhat basic, but has all the facilities you need, showers and kitchen all included in the cost, which I think was 50Dkr per person per night.
The lady working there was very friendly and very helpful. Leave a Comment Theme: CampgroundPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Yviri við Strond

3 months ahead I sent a reservation request to the Youth Hostel Torshavn.
Then they asked me if I will arrive by ferry.
I answered: by air... No response.
After the third mail they informed me:
"...We do only accomodate ferrypassengers..." Be warned! Leave a Comment Theme: HostelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averagePhone: +298 31 89 00Other Contact: booking@smylil-line.fo

I came here by cruise-ships, but the island has some hotels of course, mainly in the capital. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

4 star hotel. Part of the Best Western chain. It is more expensive than Hotel Hafnia and not central. Theme: HotelAddress: við Oyggjarvegin (in the outskirts of town).Phone: (298) 31 75 00

I have not stayed at this hotel, but ate in the restaurant. The decor seems fine and the staff very pleasant. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 4-10 ¡arvegur, P.O.Box 107, Tórshavn 05Phone: 00 298 31 32 33Website: www.hafnia.fo
