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.

A big thank you based on my recent stay at Hotel Soma Nuuk. The hotel was a fantastic option and deliberately chosen as near the Tidal Steps for a few boating trips. My budget room was impeccably clean, and warm. Breakfast was brilliant with a good choice of hot and cold options. A big thanks you to the young lady who manned the restaurant for breakfast/lunch, and the young man on evening duty - did a great job of welcoming me and giving me the general low down on the areas food Thanks

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 We did and the shower was very good - nice water pressure but the bathrooms were outdated.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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

A decent stay in Nuuk

The hotel has a convenient location and offers an acceptable price level, though one should keep in mind that Greenland in general is expensive. The overall standard is decent, but the rooms are somewhat noisy, so earplugs may be useful if you are sensitive to sound. The doors use electronic locks, and their design means they often need to be slammed shut, which can be clearly heard inside the rooms when others do the same. Breakfast is good and simple, with a nice touch of bacon, scrambled eggs, and dessert. I would have appreciated more fresh greens and fruit, as well as the classic baked beans in tomato sauce. The hotel’s restaurant also serves tasty lunch and dinner dishes at reasonable prices by Greenlandic standards. The bathroom in my room felt a bit outdated, and the shower curtain was not very appealing. Overall, I can recommend this hotel if you find a good rate. After all, the hotel selection in Nuuk is rather limited.

Incredible hotel in an incredible part of the world! We travelled to Nuuk for our honeymoon from the UK and couldn’t recommend Hotel Soma more. Staff were so helpful even before we arrived, informing us about late check-out options and taxis from the airport. Location is great - plenty of parking but also very walkable to the centre and the colonial harbour (uphill on the way). Breakfast was brilliant and our room was excellent too. We’d love to return one day!

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.

Good value in Nuuk

Hotel is pretty basic, but, at least for my single room, good value for money. Only hic, restaurant in weekends is on reservation-sold out only. Closer alternative is 1.2km away. Fri/sat, think to book in advance your restaurant!
