"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."
