Inuk Hostels

We chose to stay here bc of the location, and we chose absolutely right! It is very beautiful and tranquil, smack in the middle of raw nature. Also a good place for fishing from the cliffs. You see the icebergs floating close by, you have an amazing view to the iconic Sermitsiaq mountain, the sunrises and sunsets were beautiful, the starry sky incredible, and the Northern lights were absolutely gorgeous! We were lucky to have the yellow cabin by ourselves (room for 8 people in total), which we enjoyed very much. But remember, it is a hostel, so the possibility of sharing the living room/kitchen, the bathroom and the toilet with strangers is real. Btw the shower's water pressure was excellent (I have very long hair), and plenty of warm water. I shared a room with my teenage son, and the beds were very comfy and the room was warm with a beautiful view of the fiord and icebergs. There is no space for open suitcases when you lay in bed. The owners provide a towel and bedlinen. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The hostel offers different experiences, and we highly recommend trying their "Greenland Tasting and Storytelling"! It is arranged for min. 6 people, but the owner was so nice to carry it through just with my son and I even though the other four people did not show up. No need to say we got very full :-) We tasted seal, dried amasat, dried cod, whale, mattak (whale fat), seal fat, raw hallibut, fish soup, and traditional Greenlandic cake and tea. It was a great experience, and our host the owner Malu was exceptional kind and shared stories from her own life and upbringing, the story of Inuk (meaning human) hostel and Greenland's history. Thank you for that. She also told us about the Greenlandic Isaksen Design, so I bought a pair of beautiful earrings on the plane home. On another night we had a nice dinner in their cafe. They only use local food and ingredients, which we appreciate. And they have good cakes. Inuk hostel is close to Nuuk center where to you can walk in 20 min. or drive to in 5 min. We had rented a car, and were very happy about it. It is also possible to walk down to the bus.

The facility is located by the sea and has a great view of the sunrise. Rooms are clean and well kept. Only downside would be that you are renting by the room, not the entire cabin. There are other guests who would be sharing the bathroom and the kitchen, and the rooms are not soundproof. There is some distance to the city as well. But all in all, great location to enjoy the nature.

Les dimanches ou jours fériés cet hotel original sert un buffet à volonté. C'est une très belle expérience : nous avons pu goûter à des fruits de mer et poissons à volonté. Tout y est très frais, avec une belle ambiance en plus de la superbe vue. Assez cher mais c'est à volonté et l'emplacement vaut le détour. Nous y sommes allés à pied depuis la ville.
