Popular Ilulissat 4-star Hotels

We had this on our bucket list of places to visit as it is badged as the northernmost four star hotel in the world and we had wanted to visit Greenland for years. It did not disappoint. The view from our room was stunning over Disko Bay full of icebergs. We stayed in the main hotel not the glamping pods on the shoreline. We enjoyed a quiet and relaxing stay and felt close to nature, but also enjoyed modern comforts. The in-house restaurant Ulo was very good, and we enjoyed trying reindeer and ox meat and lots of seafood. Service was friendly and welcoming. If you want some arctic luxury this place is highly recommended.

Given the remoteness of Ilulissat, climate challenges and an impossible supply chain, I was expecting to find a somewhat rustic hotel which would probably keep us warm most nights...this Best Western was anything but that. Our 5 days there were exceptional. The breakfasts were fresher than fresh and more elegant than 5-star hotels I've stayed at in Paris, Zurich and Venice. The rooms and public spaces were kept very clean, it has a great location, and friendly staff. A big plus is the travel agent desk set up right next to the hotel front desk. This company is owned and operated by locals and they can get you hooked into all the sights worth seeing and doing.

The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of the town, with the Ilullisat Museum (10am-4pm) and an Akiki Supermarket (7am-10pm) within a 1 minute walk. The room looks a little dated but it is clean and comfortable. The staffs are friendly and they are ok to store my luggage after checkout. There is a free airport shuttle that coincides with ingoing/outgoing flights (check with the reception for the shuttle schedule). The wifi is free but is very slow (sufficient for emails but not recommended for photos/videos). Although my room's window faces inland, I managed to get a nice view of the sea and the icebergs from the reception area and from the restaurant where the free continental breakfast is served. One thing to take note: The roads in Ilullisat have no proper pavements and are often covered in sand and gravel. Although there is a doormat at the hotel entrance for visitors to brush away the sand under the shoes, some sand inevitably makes its way into the lobby and the corridors. It's best to take off your shoes immediately after entering your room, to avoid bringing sand all over the hotel room floor.

Stayed for 4 nights - very easy going, friendly hotel. The rooms heat up very quickly which was welcome. Breakfast was simple and plentiful. The staff were super helpful. My guess is it’s a 3* rating so better value to the 4* Arctic Hotel next door which we used for some evening meals and taxis etc.

We did book in February by ********** for two times two nights end of June. The night in between we did stay at the Eqi Lodge. We did get some major issues with this hotel, but I do not know who to blame; the hotel or **********. First we did charge 310 DDK (~ 44 euro) more as booked by ********** Because it is not possible to complain by ********** except by telephone (only an option when you like to wait forever) I do not know who to blame. But if you want to book this hotel, pay in advance. We were not picked up by the airport. We did need to arrange (and pay) a taxi ourselves. According the hotel there was a miscommunication with **********. Minor point: They called them self a hotel, but rooms were not cleaned during the weekend. We did get clean towels after asking for it. The hotel does not have a 24 hours reception. For the good points: Good breakfast at their restaurant at the other side of the street. Very complete (!) room with a kitchen including magnetron, refrigerator, plates, pans etc. Clean, nice rooms with a good bed, a table and two chairs. Good shower. Good wifi. Free café, thee and coco. (The second time there was not much café.) They arranged a way to check-in after office time (close at 6PM) at 7PM coming back from our trip from Eqi Lodge. The location of the hotel is in the center of town, close to 3 supermarkets, several restaurants (mostly closed) and several tour operators. Even with the 300 DDK extra and taxi costs, still a less expense option compared with most other hotels in town. gps: 69.218345, -51.098666
