Hotel Nordlys

Meilleure expérience du voyage
Assez surpris par certains commentaires désobligeants de voyageurs, en arrivant dans ce village de 40 habitants, cela paraît évident qu'il s'agit d'un séjour chez l'habitant et non d'une suite au Marriott.
Pour autant la maison a un charme certain, une belle vue et toutes les commodités nécessaires malgré l'éloignement du village.
Le principal atout, son hôte, Ole, qui nous a fait vivre une belle expérience locale.

Bref pour ceux qui veulent avoir une expérience locale sincère loin de complexes hôteliers tenus par des Danois, foncez !

Det ligger så smukt i den lille bygde med en enestående udsigt

Sehr gute Lage, das Zimmer war klein, aber das Bett war breit genug und sehr bequem. Frühstück inbegriffen. Die Rückfahrt nach Ilulissat mit dem Eigentümer des Hotels schien zuerst teuer - ca. CHF 50 pro Person - er musste ja so oder so zurückfahren! Aber - er hat uns unterwegs große Gruppen von Walen gezeigt - und es war fantastisch! Also für "Walewatching" war der Preis genial!

Lovely place with amazing hosts.

Super zuverlässig hat Ole uns mit dem Boot abgeholt. Die Bootsfahrt war fantastisch, wir haben Wale gesehen und wunderschöne Eisberge. Die Unterkunft war warm, herzlich und mit außergewöhnlicher Aussicht. Die Menschen waren sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und offen. Unsere Kinder fanden es die beste Unterkunft unserer Reise :) Danke!

The location is stunning. Every room has an amazing view. Can watch whales from shore! So peaceful.

Was perfectly located near the inlet and had view of the water. We hung out on the porch in chairs after our hike to Oqaatsut.

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.

braeakefast was good

the view was excellent

general service was good

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.

Very nice family run place, you can see whales in the bay from the dining room. Breakfast very solid, cooked by the owner lady, she also offers lunch/dinner upon request, we tasted their lamb stew with cabbage and was excellent. Definitely recommend. The rooms are clean, comfortable, beautiful views. Hikes around also amazing. Definitely recommend.

Location was fantastic, quiet and right in the small settlement. The ablity to soak in the local life was a huge plus.

The best location in Greenland! You can experience a true Greenlandic village life, starting with a boat transfer (seeing whales and icebergs on the way). Fantastic view from the window, fully equipt kitchen, shop nearby (closes at midday),
