Hotels near Crownprincess Mary’s bench, Gjogv

____________________ LA SITUATION GÉOGRAPHIQUE ---------- Situation idéale et assez centrale pour vous permettre de visiter l'ile d'Esturoy (Funningur, Gjogv, Eidi...), de Bordoy (Klaksvik) ou encore de Kalsoy (Phare de Kallur, tombe de James Bond), tout est donc accessible en voiture depuis l'établissement. Dnas une zone résidentielle donc pas grand chose à proximité directe, il faut bouger en voiture pour aller trouver un restaurant ou supermarché par exemple. ____________________ L'HOTEL ET L'ACCUEIL ---------- VisitHOMES c'est un peu comme Gites de France, des séjours chez l'habitant type chambres d'hôtes. Très bon accueil de la propriétaire, chaleureux et de la simplicité. A noter qu'ils ont des chambres dans la maison même, et un gite dans une petite maison séparé, en fonction de la prestation souhaitée. Les propriétaires parlent anglais. En tout cas très belle maison typique des iles avec de belles pièces, poutre apparente, joliment décoré avec du nouveau et de l'ancien. ____________________ LA CHAMBRE ---------- Chambre au 1er étage de la maison, très propre ! Relativement petite mais suffisante, pas grand chose avec une penderie, un lit confortable et une table de nuit, lavabo en fonction de la chambre et c'est tout. Mais il y a un espace commun au 1er avec TV. La salle de bain est au rez-de-chaussée qui est celle partagée également avec les propriétaires. Grande salle de bain avec baignoire et douche. Si la chambre est nickel et hyper propre, la salle de bain est plus négligée avec un nettoyage peu fréquent, il y a donc de la poussière/saletés sur le meuble lavabo. Des lingettes sont à disposition néanmoins pour passer un coup sur le lavabo et/ou les WC. ____________________ LA RESTAURATION ---------- Un service de petit déjeuner est inclus, au top. Du sucré/salé préparé par votre hôte. Il y a toujours une base avec du pain, des tartinades, beurre maison, confiture maison. Puis une préparation maison changeant tous les jours et surtout des produits locaux comme de la pâte de poisson du village, bref quelques petites choses à découvrir chaque matin. Pas de table d'hôtes le soir. ____________________ RAPPORT QUALITE/PRIX ET LES SERVICES ---------- Avec une attention à porter sur la salle de bain cela est sans doute un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Le wifi fonctionne très bien. Côté parking c'est délicat. Il n'y a pas de parking privé, il faut se garer dans la rue gratuitement. Demandez clairement au propriétaire les emplacements autorisés car si dans l'absolu on peut se garer partout le long du trottoir (comme dans une rue publique), le voisinage n'aime pas les touristes et étant garé tout à fait correctement mais devant le mur d'une autre maison, les 2 voitures devant et derrière se sont collés à ma voiture avec quasi dégradation : 5 minutes pour manoeuvrer pour sortir... ____________________ EN RÉSUMÉ ---------- Très jolie maison pour dormir chez l'habitant dans une de leurs chambres ou si vous préférez, dans un gite séparé privatif.

This is a 3 star rated hotel and I think that’s about right. When you visit the spectacular Faroe Islands you need to realise you will not find your large brand name shopping malls restaurants and hotels you see everywhere else. So what you get with this hotel is a steady Eddie place to rest with a great restaurant on site. If you get a 3rd or 4th floor room facing the harbour, you get great views. The bed is large and comfortable, soft and spongy. The Room is a good size and has a fridge. The bathroom is very basic, functional but basic. The tv has only 10 channels, all local and none English speaking. This isn’t a traditional hotel. If you are here for a few days and need a base to explore, this could be it. But it has no facilities if you are staying longer and want to spend more time in the hotel. I enjoyed my short stay. Would have no issues returning.

Very comfortable hotel, whether it is the check-in process or the hotel decoration, it is very comfortable and very Nordic! The breakfast is also very rich, the kosher and lemon avocado are delicious, and there are salmon and ham to choose from. The hotel also has free laundry, although there is a washing machine and dryer, but not crowded at all. The refrigerator sticker sold at the front desk of the hotel is very nice, but it is 10 yuan more expensive than the airport, so you don't have to rush to place an order ～

We had a family room, which was actually two rooms linked together. That worked really well, not least as then we had two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and I like that you can also request a variety of pillows. The rooms were very hot and you can't change the temperature. I had to request a fan, but they only had a tiny one. I really think you should be able to adjust the temperature in your own room, as we were quite uncomfortable. Also, I think the bathroom was somewhat style over function, as the showers look nice but were quite small, with an awkward door. For us vegans, the breakfast buffet was okay. There was muesli, bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, some fruit (grapes one day, melon another), oat milk, pea milk, and beans. The staff brought us vegan butter. For non-vegans, there was meat, eggs, smoked salmon, etc. It was nice that they offer a happy hour with a free wine or juice. The hotel has hot tubs, but you have to pay 150 DKK per person to use them, which is quite a lot when you compare that to the cost of going to the pool here, which includes hot tubs as well. Also, if you were just one person going to the hot tub alone, it would be 150 DKK, but for 4 people using it at the same time, it would be 600 DKK. That makes no sense. The hotel info says you need to give them 30 min notice to use the hot tub, but the staff told us it would take at least 60 min to heat it up, so we didn't bother. A final, tiny note -- the hotel has what they label a ”handicap toilet”. That's an offensive term in English now, so I was quite surprise to see that. It should be ”disabled toilet” or ”accessible toilet”. In short, it was quite a good hotel with a good location for visiting Torshavn and the rest of the Faroes.

We had some difficulty entering the premise initially, as I wasn’t aware I had to submit an online check-in prior to arrival at the property. Fortunately, I met a very resourceful local who’d manage to contact the owner to sort out the matter. After that, everything was smooth-sailing. The room was clean, kitchen well equipped, and the best selling point is the location. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

We had such a wonderful stay at Hotel Hafnia and it began long before we arrived in the Faroe Islands. I was trying to plan from thousands of miles away and Susanna was so gracious and patient, answering all my questions as I narrowed down hotel options and dates. This trip was initially envisioned for the summer of 2020 and as I started reaching out to tour guides that I had been in contact with in 2020 in the hopes of re-creating the trip, and didn't get responses even though the website still looked live, Susanna provided additional recommendations (the previous company had apparently gone out of business during covid). She went above and beyond as did everyone else that is on the general information group email. Once we arrived we were so impressed by how helpful and friendly everyone was. The breakfasts were great and our accommodation (we opted to stay in one of the cottages) was unique and really added to the overall experience. I could not recommend this hotel more (perfect location as well!) and am already looking forward to a second visit.
