Hotel Djurhuus is by the harbour in Tórshavn, around a 10-minute walk from the city centre and historic quarter, and five minutes from the bus and ferry terminal. This relaxed three-star hotel takes a straightforward, informal approach, with a waterfront setting and free parking making it a practical base for both city stays and self-drive holidays.
The hotel has 51 rooms, ranging from compact Standard Singles and Doubles to larger Superior Rooms and a Seaside Suite, with many overlooking the harbour or surrounding area. Rooms have private bathrooms, tea and coffee-making facilities and flat-screen TVs, while Family Rooms provide additional space for those travelling with children.
A breakfast buffet is served each morning, with complimentary tea and coffee available throughout the day. There is no lunch or dinner restaurant; instead, guests can explore Tórshavn's excellent choice of places to eat or bring takeaway food back to enjoy in the hotel's dining area. Drinks and light meals can also be purchased from reception.
The harbour, Skansin, Tinganes and Tórshavn's historic quarter are all easily reached on foot, while the nearby bus and ferry terminal is useful for independent day trips. The hotel also has a fitness room.
Accessibility and inclusion form an important part of Hotel Djurhuus' ethos. It participates in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower programme and offers barrier-free access and support for guests with visual or hearing impairments. Its Prentis programme also provides supported workplace opportunities for people who may need additional help to participate in working life.
More than simply a practical base. We like its waterfront location and easy access to central Tórshavn, but also the hotel's genuinely inclusive approach and commitment to creating opportunities within the local community.
