Inuk Hostels has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Nuuk. Among the various facilities are a bar and a private beach area. The hostel also features free WiFi and free private parking.

This is probably the most beautiful place I’ve stayed at while on vacation! The view is unbelievable and the staff was super warm and friendly. The cabins are very well equipped and we would enjoy our little breakfast and tea every morning :)

Set in Nuuk, Vandrehuset 2 og 3 has a shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi.

Selected rooms also feature a kitchen with a fridge, a dishwasher and an oven.

The nearest airport is Nuuk Airport, 5 km from the hostel.

The room gave a great first impression. Lots of light. Comfortable rooms. Unfortunately, everything went wrong for us during our trip. We arranged for this room for 3 nights. The first night we flew from Nuuk to Ilulissat and left the majority of our luggage in the room. We were scheduled to return the next day. However, the weather changed and we were delayed in Ilulissat until the check out day of this room. We never slept here. We didn't do anything here but drop off our luggage. That being said, I was in constant communication with Maali and she was wonderful. She was so understanding and helpful that she had her colleague retrieve our luggage and meet up at the airport to return it to us when we landed.

Featuring free WiFi, Nuuk City Hostel is situated in Nuuk. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The hostel has family rooms.

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV. At Nuuk City Hostel rooms have bed linen and towels.

Huge space, much bigger than I needed. The included washer/drier is very nice, although be sure to bring washing detergent. The shower is hot and nice. Location is good with a close grocery store and main downtown area a fairly short walk away. It was quiet for me and a very comfortable space. This was an apartment, which was nice.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Very friendly staff, especially Lasse but also all the kitchen staff. Great location for an Arctic Umiaq Ferry also for the Disko line explorer boat to Kapisillit, 15min walking distance to the Nuuk town centre

    Great location for a short overnight stay. We got booked into this hotel by the Customer Service of Booking team as a replacement booking, after we were left stranded by another property. The lady at the check-in desk was friendly and showed great empathy to our situation. The room was spacious, neat and tidy.

    The room with a private bathroom was like an apartment with private kitchen (room no 10) and had a private access. With sunny weather, we enjoyed the sun by sitting outside with our chairs. There was a washing machine and dryer. Opposite the hostel is a supermarket. We had thick curtains. All in all great option, especially for several day stay, but very simple furniture.

    The staff here goes above and beyond and the hostel feels like home. I would happily stay there again and recommend it to anyone travelling through Nuuk. They were renovating the second bathroom while I was there which meant there was only one available for all guests. We managed just fine even with 6 people in the house. The terrace/ balcony is fantastic for coffee breaks/ sunsets and the kitchen is beautiful. You'll find everything you need there.

    A great hostel. However, I was confused with the city hostel. Both buildings are the same color. There should be a better and the diet way to tell the two hostels apart.

    Fully exceeded my expectations. I booked the cheapest room with a shared bathroom but was given a really nice (accessible) room with en-suite, which was great! Lovely views from the hotel and only a 10-12 minute walk into the centre of town. Breakfast was good too, with cheese, meat, breads, eggs and juices available. Staff lovely.
