"Great location in Central Nuuk. Good if somewhat limited breakfast. Flagship seafood restaurant was okay. Skyline Bar was fun.
Nice sized room. Twin beds and bedding were a challenge for this two metre tall traveler
Gym was adequate, standard hotel facility"
"This was a fine hotel - very clean, very accommodating (they gave us extra towels and cleaned the room whenever we asked), and it was much cheaper than the Hans Egede which is not any better but much more expensive. Breakfast and dinner were great - and to our surprise, the hotel gave us a free pork loin dinner on our last night there. It's a :10 walk from the hotel to central Nuuk but very close to the famous harbor and several bars and restaurants."
