Hotel Vágar: Serviceable Airport Hotel
travelfrosch Says: This blocky building doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a decent place to stay, especially if your flight arrives after the last bus of the day to Tórshavn has left. The hotel itself was just fine... even if there was a bit of an adventure to begin with when...
sadly after i had done my shopping and reclaimed my VAT - I bought my coffee and cake and suddenely my flight was being called. The small amount of coffee I drank was good.
The staff are friendly, fairly good menu offering.

The flag carrier of the Faroe Islands is Atlantic Airways. This plucky airline has quite an ambitious schedule, flying from Vágar to Copenhagen several times daily. The airline also flies to destinations such as London-Stansted, Reykjavik, and Oslo.
Booking online is relatively easy, if not cheap. For English speakers, you will notice the website defaults prices to British Pounds. In order to pay in Danish Kroner, you will need to navigate the Faroese or Danish Language site. One helpful hint: "telðupostur" is Faroese for "e-mail."

I have attached the link for a page from the "TheFaroeIslands.info" website. The pages shown outline the different modes of transport on many of the islands.

The Airport Shuttle Service runs a minibus from Hotel Torshavn and Hotel Hafnia (both in Torshavn). I booked it via the hotel.

Vágar airport (Code: FAE) is the only international airport in the Faroe Islands. The Faroese flag carrier, Atlantic Airways, is the only commercial airline to fly into this airport. However, a number of charter flights come into here as well.
The most frequent service is between Vágar and Copenhagen, with several daily flights. You can also get to the Faroes from various destinations in Iceland, the UK, Norway, and Denmark.

If you're not renting a car, the easiest way to get to Tórshavn from the airport is the bus. Bus #300 departs from outside the terminal, making its way through various villages and finally to Tórshavn. Travel time to the Faroese capital is 55 minutes. One-way fare is Kr 90, you pay the bus driver when you board.

Located in the airport concourse, this is one of the few shops within the airport. It has friendly staff and has a wide range of hand crafted goods, knitted clothes and other items made across the Faroe Islands and the North Atlantic (especially from Iceland).
Remember to ask for your VAT free voucher.
What to pay: Up to yourselves - but always remember to request the VAT free voucher for reclaiming before you leave on your journey.

This is more of a general tip for all travellers to the Faroe Islands. "All non-residents of the Faroe Islands are entitled to claim back the VAT paid on purchases that are brought out of the country."
There are some rules about this - but generally the staff in shops will know what they need to do, documents to complete and how to advise you on what you should do to be able to reclaim the VAT you have paid.
At the airport contact the Customs Officer on duty, get your reclaim cheques(s) authorised - try and do this before checking you luggage inas they may wish to see the goods.
Then walk a few metres across the terminal to the information desk, prsent your approved vouchers and then the give you the actual cash. (if you travel by ferry the refund will be given on board the cruise ship.) Please note the information desk has opening hours which match arrivals and departures , thus is not always open.
