Hotel Nordlys, Гренландия

Great value for money, Saw 2 times whales and didn't have to pay for a whale safari :). Ole is a great host. Due to the nature of this place (remotness and affordable price) you are likely to meet other interesting travellers.

This was a great adventure for us. We knew not to expect a 5 star stay while staying in a settlement of 45 people. Fortunately for us we were the only guests at the Hotel. We spent some quality time with Ole who explained the workings of the settlement. We arrived late in the season so the restaurant was closed but the shop had adequate supplies if you wanted to cook for yourself. We ate meals at the hotel. Ole caught a cod and a seal that he cooked up for our dinner. An experience we won’t forget. Breakfast was good with cereal, breads, meats and cheese. Plenty of coffee and juice. Our bedroom was large and warm. The bathroom was small and has a dry toilet which we know as a drop toilet when hiking in Australia. There are some wonderful views, walks and we saw some great icebergs. Ole’s communication was excellent. We’d planned to hike to Oqaatsut from Ilulissat however a huge dump of snow stopped us so Ole organized a boat to taxi us to Oqaatsut. Much appreciated.
