Watch for extra charges!
Pam and I enjoyed the hotel. But for some unknown reason they charged us 400DKK for an extra person. We emailed them a week ago but got no response.

Great hotel but insanely small
Rooms for the price. Nuuk has limited hotels and the features in the room were nothing special.
Still it has two great restaurants and a good bar.
It’s not a 5 Star hotel but it’s luxury for Greenland.

Für die Leistung viel zu teuer. Das Hotel wird aktuell renoviert, was mit viel Baulärm verbunden ist. Hotels.com hatte zum Zeitpunkt der Buchung nicht darauf hingewiesen

Slidt. Dårligt indeklima
God beliggenhed. Værelser slidt. Kan godt se det var lang tid siden de blev renoveret. Morgenmaden var ok, ser bedre ud end det er. Kedeligt brød.
Deres rooftop bar var som en rejse tilbage gennem tiden.
De reklamerer med 4 stjerner, men det er mere 3 stjernet hotel.
Vi boede også på Hans Egede Express. Vi kunne bedre lide det hotel.

Nicest hotel in Nuuk. Large, clean room. Small bath. Comfy bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Little coffee bar in lobby. Two restaurants with delicious food. Bountiful breakfast buffet. Huge grocery store across the street. Would definitely stay here again.
