Torshavn Free City Bus Routes
I didn't have any chance to try city bus during my stay, but the information is really useful.
The Municipality offers free bus service throughout the Municipality. You can obtain a brochure describing the bus routes and listing the timetables at the Snarskivan or here.

Ferry to Nólsoy from Torshavn
Nolsoy is a good place for a short day trip from Torshavn. It takes only 20 mins by ferry.
Ferry costs 45dkk (as of 2012) - pay on the boat, credit card accepted. It is kinda round trip ticket, as they collect fare only on the way to Nolsoy.
I was little bit confused. I went to the building in front of the bus station, which seemed to be a Smyril ferry terminal.
Nolsoy ferry (M/F Ritan) departs from Bursatangi dock, about 100 meters to the west of the bus terminal.

Time table also puzzled me. What time the ferry departs from Nolsoy ? Yes, both Av and Ur mean From. :)

Hotels in Torshavn
If you arrive in Torshavn by bus, the best hotels would be Hotel Torshavn or Hotel Hafnia. They are within walking distance from the bus terminal where the bus 300 arrives, and located in the city center. The road to the hotels does not involve any stiff hills or stairways.
Hotel Streym might be another good option as well. That is probably the closest one but it is in the opposite direction of the city center (to the east side from the bus terminal). It may not really matter though, because without suitcases, it is not hard walking to the city center - remember Torshavn is claimed to be world's smallest capital city. In fact you may not spend lots of time inside the town, rather you would take excursions during the daytime.
With suitcases, probably I would not go farther than Hotel Torshavn, considering the possibility of rain on arrival, and the possibility of encountering hills and steps on the way.
You can find other good options such as summer houses and apartments here
