Reviews for Tora Guesthouse
Review 1：The only negative was that the bathroom/toilet smelled like pee a bit (not majorly but a tiny bit) but this was only around the toilet - perhaps some guests with bad aim...?
Review 2：Samal and Torhalda, the owners, were so lovely and helpful! The place was clean, had plenty of room and a kitchen so you can cook your own food (because the Faroes are so expensive!). The beds were so super comfy that I did not have any problem falling/staying asleep on the first night (usually, if I am in a new place, I wake up a bit on the first night as I am not used to the bed)! The place is conveniently located a short distance to the town centre. The place was clean and well kept and there was plenty of communal space. Best value for money in the Faroes I reckon! I would stay there again!
Review 3：Great location with an impressive and beautiful view of Nolsoy (the big island across from Tórshavn) from the common room upstairs. Tora and her husband (the owners) were extremely friendly and welcoming. A great place and highly recommended. (Just notethat the guesthouse prefers payment in cash.)
Review 4：This goes for most guesthouses, cafes, restaurants, etc. in the Faroes: a sign or an arrow pointing to the right door would help tourists find their way.
Review 5：The location: it takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the bus terminal/ferry/city centre. You can either walk down the busy road or climb down to the strand and go by the seafront and fort. When the fog lifts, the view on Nolsoy from the lounge picture window is amazing. Beds are very comfortable and small kitchen well equipped. A large dining table allows guests to sit together and socialise. Tórharda was very helpful.
Review 6：no room servicew, no breakfast, no cleaning the rooms not change nothing.....to expensive for that money....
Review 7：Really I would like to inform to any one that the house is old abd its solution only for persons who the din;t interesting some comforts....
Review 8：Separate rooms are rather small, with just two beds, one chair, small table in the corner and double wardrobe. Some (not all) of the rooms even have water faucet and sink. Wooden walls are not noise-insulated, consequently one hears everything. Fortunately, all our co-guests were nice and calm.
Review 9：Common kitchen area is well organized and has all the equipment needed. Common area is large and comfortable. Easy parking in the front of the property, Bonus supermarket very near (in Midlon shopping complex); main (and only) post office just opposite the shop. Wonderful view down to the sea and the Nolsoy Island behind. 10-15 min walk brings one to the town centre, down at the harbour. 5 min walk away nice lagoon/lake (Hoyviktjorn where one can rest and observe the birds). The hosts are nearly always at home, so if one needs anything it is easy to contact them (Mr. Samal speaks English very well). Comfortable bathroom, never runs out of hot water. With a car, in 5 min you are out of the town in the typical island nature.
Review 10：no breakfast, but then I'd brought my own stuff with me so wasn't a problem.
Review 11：comfortable good sized rooms, with access to kitchen facilities. not far from the town centre and the hosts are just so sweet and helpful. really enjoyed my 2 nights here.
Review 12：-It is a bit hard to reach from the city center and the bus terminal (It's only that the streets are steep). -Wi-Fi quality was a bit unpredictable sometimes
Review 13：-Sámal and Tórharda were very friendly and helpful hosts. -The guesthouse was well equipped. -Very comfortable beds and warm rooms -I could pay with cash after I lost my credit card before check-in.
Review 14：Very audible between rooms, shared shower and toilet. Working conditions (chair and desk) primitive. Bad lighting in room. Unable to pay by card and very unformal handwritten receipt.
Review 15：I liked the bed, slept well. The landlady was friendly and helpful.
Review 16：Had to pay cash for stay - as expected to pay with card - meaning I had to withdraw money. Internet was very patchy - better midday and only in a spot in the shared living space. Not brilliant having to share bathroom with up to eight people.
Review 17：Samal and Torhada very friendly and spoke very good English and always very helpful.
Review 18：The owner of the guestshouse were very very friendly, kind and helpful with everthing. We loved them ;)

Review 32：Basic kitchen and bathroom.
Review 33：Good beds. Close to city. Nice view. Good living room. Friendly people.
Review 34：- unable to pay by card
Review 35：- very friendly atmosphere - hospitality - position close to the city center - great value/money ratio
Review 36：There was no table/desk in the room.
Review 37：The house is situated in a quiet neighbourhood, there was absolutely no traffic noise. The host, Tórharda, is very friendly and always ready to help. There is a large common area with a little kitchen and a living room with a great view.
Review 38：I don't find wi-fi except shared computer at the first floor. But I didn't ask. May be it was. I had only two days in Torshavn - and therefore wanted to see more. And without wi-fi in the room it's easier to do it! )) ---- Я не нашёл вай-фай кроме как на компе снизу. Но может я просто плохо искал. И я не спрашивал хозяев. Я до этого был в Копенгагене и наличие вай-фая в номере сильно мешало осматривать город. А тут у меня было только два дня - поэтому я решил: может лучше без вай-фая.
Review 39：It was very good nights Value for money. At the Faroe Islands Hotels are expensive. Too expensive. And therefore we booked this one with shared bathroom. I'm very happy that had this variant for just a little price. It was very good to have tea and coffee at the morning and colours of beds)) and if you want to discuss with true real faroese - it's for you ))) ----- Отели на Фарерах реально очень-очень дорогие. Они вообще дорогие в Скандинавии. Но в остальных странах мне удавалось найти номера с одельной ванной за эти деньги. Здесь - нет. Но я очень рад, что удалось взять этот вариант. Он не далеко от центра. И реально дешевле в разы основных гостиниц. Отличное соотношение качество/деньги. Безусловно, скандинавская простота. Но вы сможете пообщаться с реальными фарерцами, сдающими вам под номера второй этаж своего дома. Сможете выпить бесплатного чая и коффе с утра на дорожку... или вечером.
