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.

Good but room for improvement

It wasn't clear when we booked the hotel that it was under renovation - it should be when there is noise from 7:00 to after 7:00 in the evening. Check out is at 10:00 so be prepared, seems strange when all the long distance flights are around 13-15 would have been great to have normal check out 11 or 12 as most hotels. Even though the early check out time they didn’t manage to tidy the room before we came back from an excursion around 16:30 when they very busy in our room. Additional the cleaners throw out over maps which was on the table. Filling the buffet at breakfast was very slow had to ask the service to top up on food. It’s a shame as the service in the restaurant was great and the location downtown is good

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.

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.
