I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The stunning hillside location overlooking Torschavn was breathtaking, but the dated rooms and unhelpful service left something to be desired.

The hotel had some mixed experiences. The location was scenic with stunning views of Torshavn and the harbor, perfect for exploring the island. However, the rooms, especially those at the end of the building, were not as clean as expected, and the dining area was a bit crowded during peak hours. The staff, mostly friendly and helpful, added to the overall positive stay.

Rooms
