Don’t expect more than what is just needed while waiting for your connecting flight. The hotel and the airport terminal are in the same building which is convenient when arriving and for departure. The hotel is old and looks old, but it is clean and functional for the purpose. We had a spacious room, which was nice. The price for... More

Having read many previous reviews, this hotel was actually much better than I expected. The rooms were very spacious, a little dated but not tatty, with a great view out over the airport runway and apron - this could be noisy on occasions but it made for interesting viewing. Pillows were a little under-inflated but the beds were comfortable. We... More

This hotel does not get good reviews. However as part of our polar marathon expedition, we had little choice but to stay here. It was not all that bad. Kangerlussuaq is not a real town, it is just a village built around the only proper airport in Greenland. As such, it is an airport hotel that from the outside looks... More

Not much choice in Kangerlussuaq and as others have noted you can be in for a long walk up and down stairs and corridors to reach your room. Not much style here but if you want to visit the Ice Sheet (and you should want to do that as it's amazing) then it's good enough. Dinner in the restaurant was... More

This hotel is directly on the airport. After a long walk via very dated corridors and a few stairs (no elevator) you reach the room. Ours was spacious with a large bathroom. Especially the bathroom was very dated and poorly maintained. Our view was on the platform and runway of the airport. Breakfast is served is in the cafetaria of... More

I stayed at the hotel for one night during the last week of June 2012. The room was very small and plain but clean. I had to walk up and down multiple staircases and long hallways to get to the room so beware if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. As Flying Lawyer noted in his review the... More

We stayed at the Kangerlussuaq Hotel for 2 days during a round trip in Greenland. The Hotel standard is Average and the service is good. The Hotel in general could use a modernization, not much has changed since the Hotel was build in the 70's, but everything works. I can recommend to stay at the Kangerlussuaq Hotel, especially if you... More

It buys you a small room with 2 little beds, 2 pillows, a table & chairs, TV and a tiny bathroom. I think the average American guy would have a hard time fitting in. But it is very clean. And very noisy; we could easily hear through the walls. And very hot; the heat wouldn't turn off and you can't... More

I returned to Kangerlussuaq after having lived at was Sondrestrom Air Base back in the mid-1970's. The Kangerlussuaq Hotel is what was the former "SAS Hotel" and most of the guest rooms are in a building that was used as housing for Danish contract workers. If you lived in a college dorm room, you have a pretty good idea of... More

Was here on business over Thanksgiving this year. Had some time off and overall completely enjoyed my time here. The hotel is connected to the airport terminal and restaurant and 2 gift shops - one big building. Check in was very easy, the lady at the desk was friendly to all of us. The rooms are I think converted dorm... More
