Hotel Hans Egede
"Clean room, comfortable bed. In central Nuuk steps away from grocery stores, outfitters and boutiques. We were extremely happy though limited TV channels and our TV wouldn’t allow me to cast from my phone (both minor…we weren’t in Nuuk to watch TV!)."

Hotel Nordbo City
"Overall, a good stay. The room is smaller than what appears in the photo and is VERY basic. The bed is very small. The breakfast was supposed to be included, but the restaurant was closed. Centrally located, though everything is central in the small city. The front desk was very responsive."
