Giljanes Hostel & Campsite — Hotel in Sandavágur

I stayed seven nights here and had a great time.||||The site is a combined campsite and hostel. I was in the hostel part. The hostel is further divided into rooms as well as a converted bus which sleeps five! I was in the converted bus. I think the idea is to put younger people and large groups in the rooms and old gits like me in the converted bus.||||The common area is large and includes three cookers and two fridges. There are at least eight showers, maybe more.||||However, it's a hostel. If you're not prepared to accept shared spaces, then fork out for a posh hotel.||||The owner, Kristjan, is extremely friendly and professional and manages to make both his large groups and single travellers feel welcome and accommodated.||||He is also very laid back. He can't be there 24 hours, so has no problem with guests rolling up, finding a place to kip, and settling up for money afterwards.||||It is about a one-minute walk to the bus stop and about 20 minutes on foot to a supermarket. The bus is on the busiest line in the Faroes, from the airport to the capital Torshavn.||||My flight back was very early on a Sunday, too early to get the bus, so Kristjan very kindly sorted out a transfer for me for 100 kroner which I understand is half the price of a taxi. He even did this on a Saturday evening when quite rightly enjoying himself with a beer or ten after going to the Faroe Islands v Lithuania match (the Faroes won 2-1).||||For the seven nights I paid 1750 kroner/€235.20, or €33.60 a night. OK, that might be pricey in Moldova, but it's dirt cheap...
