You had to open the windows at night because there was not air-conditioning in the rooms to keep it cool. And when you open the windows, then you heard the outside noise.

This is the best hotel in Nuuk. After being stuck there due to Air Greenland flight cancellations we stayed at over three hotels in the area, and this one was by far the best.

It was ideally situated in town and had an excellent restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be the bass booming through the floors from the bar at midnight.

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.

This is as good as you can get in Nuuk, thanks to a very courteous staff, excellent Internet access, and very clean rooms with comfortable bed linens. But the bathrooms are small with no counter space for toiletries and the shower stall is so tiny you have to jump around to get wet. Also, given their claim of being a 4-star, I expected that the bathrooms would be equipped with a few toiletries for guests traveling far away who can only bring along so much. Also, I expected a concierge to help with booking adventures and activities in godsmackingly beautiful Greenland.

Nice breakfast smorgasbord.

Sadly, this hotel came up as the best offering in Nuuk. There was no fridge, no kettle, only a single towel and hand towel (or maybe it was the bathmat) for a party of two. On the plus side, the wifi was great and there was a nice Nordic breakfast on the top level, especially the mixed fruit juice/smoothie. I think some work might need to be done to bring it up to speed as Nuuk opens to tourism. Staff were great.
