Hotel Hans Egede

Hans Egede hotel & restaurant was built in 1987 and is located in the center of Nuuk (former Godthåb). Named after Hans Poulsen Egede (1686), the Danish Lutheran missionary and founder of Godthåb, the hotel offers 150 rooms & apartments over 5 floors, meeting rooms, restaurant & bar. Furnishings and decoration provide a nice Scandinavian & Greenland atmosphere. Service is friendly and helpful. In a group of 60 tourists of the Le Charcot icebreaker we had a private lunch. The buffet lunch was hearty with soup, cold & hot dishes, cheeses & breads, desserts & pasties, drinks, tea & coffee. Hotel & Restaurant Hans Egede is nice Greenland establishment with tasty local & Scandinavian food. Highly recommended.

Overall, this was a pleasant stay in a standard twin room. There was plenty of space and good choice of channels on the TV. The bed was comfortable and the room was kept warm at all times. There was a good choice for breakfast, with cold and hot choices. The hotel is well located in the centre of the capital and within walking distance of most tourist attractions. The staff are pleasant and speak proficient English. A minor problem with the in room safe displaying an error message and not locking was fixed very quickly when mentioned to staff. Nuuk is an expensive city generally, however, prices in the Skyline Bar are on the more expensive side e.g. 510 Danish Kroner for the original beef burger, fries and a half bottle of white wine. One criticism is that check out time is a bit early - 10am. Considering that breakfast ends on weekdays at 10am and at the weekend at 10:30am, in theory, you may need to check out before having your breakfast. Having to check out a bit early also resulted in quite a number of people loitering in reception as they considered it too early to go to Nuuk's relatively small new airport. There is a smoking room on the ground floor - However as this is located by the lifts, the smell of cigarette smoke inevitably goes into the lift, so the lifts constantly smell of cigarettes.

In the Heart of Nuuk i found a beautiful Hotel and it was very nice to saw the Nuuk City. As i want to make Activities The Whale Safari was more than a Trip to See Grönland by the Sea. The nice cool and fresh Weather gave me 3 times to do this activity.

arriving at 1 o clock in the morning, although it was about as bright outside ,as in Loindon at an averge lunchtime , check in was painless and very efficient, rooms clean and acceptable size, although slightly dated with the shower curtain, but nothing to complain about. Bar was dead but thanks to my sons I Fone we found a great pub nearby, more in a different review. Breakfast was more than acceptable , staff very friendly and helpful thruout the hotel. Probably the best hotel in NUUK,but I suspect the bar isnt very high. it shud be mentioned that there are two restaurants, one meat, one fish, both of them much more than adequate. Basically the place to stay in NUUK.

Hotel in a very convenient location in central Nuuk. Very nice restaurant on 4th floor with good views overlooking the city. Food was good and well presented and the wine list reasonable. Breakfast had a good selection and would satisfy most tastes. Room was well appointed and bed comfortable. Would stay there again.

A beautiful Hotel in a Breath Taking landscape. I was disappointed that i could not see the northern Lights. But overall, it is an experience one must experience at least once in a lifetime. I'm hoping I can visit again and that too in the peak of winter - Jan / Feb...
