Great hotel. Very close to the downtown area. 15-minute walk or so, immediate next to the port for the cruise I did around Greenland. I stayed in the budget room, which meant shared shower and toilet, but it had a nice sink in the room for brushing the teeth. Great economic option. And it was really cool to stay in one of the older buildings instead of one of the newer modern ones. Definitely recommend this place. Oh and delicious restaurant!

Nice breakfast buffet offered, several nice options were available. Beds were very comfortable, but as usual, extremely narrow. Small Great shower pressure Easy taxi ride to and from airport. Dinner menu was limited but presented very well. Do not forget to bring your 2 prong euro AC adapters. There are no USB charging ports for phones. Wall outlets only. Overall, a nice pleasant stay.

I booked the single room with no attached toilet which had the smallest bed I had ever seen. The shared showers were dirty and had a bad Oder, and no shampoo, conditioner, or soap was provided. The area around the hotel was more of a ship yard, and the downtown was about a 20 minute walk. The airport shuttle is 95DKK per direction. If you are more than one person you are better off taking a taxi for 150DKK. Other than that the staff were friendly and the breakfast was good.

Really liked this hotel. It is right in the harbor, which is one of the more interesting and colorful areas of Nuuk. The food in the restaurant was great and the bed and room were very comfy.

Hotel Somo is simple, safe, and run by consistently kind and proficient staff. My room was quiet, had everything I needed, and the complimentary breakfast was nutritious with staff happy to adjust the spread. The front desk team and servers showed genuine warmth and Christ-like care, which was refreshing. I also appreciated the reliable airport shuttle, which spared guests from overpriced taxis. The hotel’s hot tub is spotless and offers a stunning mountain view—perfect for catching the northern lights. On top of that, profits support local Christian missions, and the abundance of live plants throughout the building gives it a welcoming feel. On the downside, the property is very dated and in need of remodeling. The location, while safe, is a tough 20-minute walk from town and right in the middle of the fishing industry, which not everyone will enjoy. The restaurant food is generally unhealthy—most items are fried and heavy, with only salads and the occasional pan-seared fish special as lighter options. Cakes and pastries dominate the displays. The hot tub, though beautiful, is very expensive, and smokers often gather at the entrance, making it unpleasant to enter or exit the building. Overall, this place is safe and community sensitive.

Average but OK

Staff friendly, hotel OK and clean although some rooms do not have their own bathroom. We did and the shower was very good - nice water pressure but the bathrooms were outdated. Hotel is about a 15 min walk from town so not very centrally located. Thought it was expensive $345 per night.

Property is pretty bare bones with shared toilets and showers for many rooms. No elevator and some staff speak limited English. Employees are friendly and try to help their guests but Nuuk is still a fairly remote location and I don’t think that modern standards in hotel accommodations have reached here yet.

Basic Stay

The stay was fine. The hotel is pretty basic. My room was small....with a twin bed and one pillow. The towels in the bathroom are very small and thin. My room was not serviced one of the days despite me asking which was annoying.

Being travelling a lot, Hotel SOMA has exceptional services that was really impressive. EVERYONE at the property are super nice, friendly and what makes them stand out is the Proactiveness to offer help! 1. Initiate to offer me the ice gripper: not expecting the heavy snow, with a pair of running shoes become ultra challenge. The young check-in lady taught me to put this on, so I can enjoy Nuuk on the walk. 2. Extra walk to help drop my post card at post office. They have been very responsible to check for international mailing fees and offer the best support for us. 3. Nice stay at the lounge while waiting for the late flight. The lounge is very comfy, quiet, with electric plugs to “feed” my phone. For sure, whenever I go back to Nuuk, I will stay at Hotel SOMA!
