Top Nuuk Hotel Reviews
Nuuk Hotel Apartments by HHE
"We could not check in at the property- had to walk about 1/2 mile to check in at a nearby hotel. There were no check in instructions on Expedia and no contact info. The Taxi cab driver had to make phone calls to clarify the situation and find out the name and location of the hotel."
HHE Express Hotel
"Clean and quiet rooms though they are on the small side."
Hotel Nordbo
"The accommodations were great. My son and I were very happy with the room. It’s TV and it’s skylights. The staff was awesome. They answered all my questions and gave me plenty of solutions and options for my short stay in Greenland. Thanks for a very memorable trip. Norm and Qq"
Aurora City Apartments
"Great place. Clean, beds were comfortable, washer/dryer combo worked well (but takes 7 hrs for one load to complete), and WiFi was ok. Excellent location."
HOTEL SØMA Nuuk
"Very helpful"
Nuuk City Hostel
"Room was clean. Kitchen had full appliances and refrigerators clearly marked for storage by roomz"
Hotel Aurora
"The hotel is located further from the center of town, but the staff is excellent, the facility is new and quiet, and the breakfast buffet is great."
Hotel Nordbo City
"Surprised to find a large suite ratber thsn a hotel room, living room - dining room/well-supplied kitchen/ bedroom. Great value , nearby supermarkets allowed me to eat meals in which was healthy and saved money - I’ll be eating out later in trip. Nearby shops and bus lines, quiet"
Kulukis Downtown Hostel
"There were 3 in my party and the room consisted of a large, double bed and a chair/single bed conversion. While we were only there one night, it fulfilled every need we had. The room was larger than anticipated and proved plenty of storage space for our belongings. The only issue we had was that when converting the chair to bed, we were missing a cushion. This did make for an "uneven" night of sleeping. The rest of the property was clean and inviting. The bathrooms having heated floors was a wonderful touch! Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to others."
