Hotel Brandan

Great hotel with an exquisite restaurant and atmosphere. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable.

Visited September 2024. The hotel is only a ten minute walk from the centre of Tórshavn yet has ample parking. A modern contemporary hotel; our ground floor double room was large, well appointed and bright. The wetroom was unfussy and clean. Tea and coffee making facilities, a large screen TV, although we never actually turned it on during our stay, and more than one chair. The restaurant and bar were very welcoming. The gym aesthetically the best I've seen - a wooden treadmill, beautiful - can I have one. The service was great as soon as you get use to the direct demeanour of the Faroese people, which I liked. A perfect base to explore the country and a great hotel.

Really nice stay. Profesional staff. Confortable rooms and really good breakfast. We stayed in August 2024 and the enviroment at the hotel at that time was great. Facilites as sauna and gym available. Totally recomendable hotel if visiting Tórshavn.

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.

Very pleasant hotel. Extremely quiet, clean rooms, good breakfast and friendly service at the desk, just what I needed for a work trip. It is only a short walk into the centre, would highly recommend. Remember to bring wet weather gear- the weather can be brutal

We really loved our stay at Hotel Brandan! All of the staff were extremely helpful! The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety. We had two connecting rooms that worked out perfectly for a family of four. The ample parking is very convenient. You are close enough to Torshavn to make a long walk or a short drive and park in town but the readily available parking at Hotel Brandan makes it very easy for day trips throughout the islands. There is a grocery store that is open until 2300 a couple of blocks from the hotel and a shopping mall is near as well. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Faroe Islands!

We normally don't stay at 4 star hotels - they all seem the same. However, the Brandan, which we were booked into as part of a Faroes Isalands tour, had a real point of difference. The staff were always extermely helpful. Extra touches like the wine hour definitely enhances our stay. Both the inhouse restaurant and bistro were very good as were the buffet breakfasts.
