Guest Reviews

• CHIAHUI (4/5): - 床跟枕頭都很軟，也很小，睡到腰痠背痛。內裝很舊、共用衛浴，但單人價格卻要120美元以上太貴了。早餐就各種歐式麵包、咖啡、果汁、牛奶供選擇。
• Louis (4/5): Bad service - Nothing negative to say about the rooms. The problem was the service. When it was time for our check-in, our keys were missing. We figure eventually to go to Hotel Kangerlussuaq to get them. No staff from Polar Lodge to help us for the whole week-end. Other guests seems to be confused with the check-in process. We had to deal with the receptionist of the Hotel Kangerlussuaq several times for different issues/questions (for instance the soap we had was overly diluted in the bathroom). He was clearly annoyed to help us. Not the type of service we expect. Fortunately, the locals from Kangerlussuaq are such good folks.
• Monika (8/5): Guter Ausgangspunkt für Trips zum Inlandeis. - Die Lodge liegt ganz nah am Flughafen, zu Fuß erreichbar, in welchem sich auch 2 Restaurants befinden. Eine Bude mit leckerem Eis und leckerem Kaffee befindet sich auch direkt in der Nachbarschaft, ebenso wie der Abholparkplatz für die verschiedenen Ausflüge, die man buchen kann. Der Ort an sich gibt nicht viel her.
• Amanda (10/5): - I slept really well here. Caroline in particular was lovely and has multiple good recommendations for me and helped me out when the room I was assigned was not what I would have hoped for. They could improve the breakfast since it’s just basic carbs and nothing else. No protein, no fruit. But it wasn’t a big deal. Do yourself a favor and book a FULL DAY trip on the ice with Albatross. I had an unforgettable and amazing day. Using crampons for the first time and walking down ice might scare you but the guide Karl was amazing and he’s a great coach. It feels scary and awkward at first but it’s so worth it.
• Ute (6/5): - Die Zimmer waren sehr schön. Das Frühstück hätte besser sein können.
• David (8/5): - I did not know exactly what to expect at Polar Lodge but my expectations were exceeded. It was well located just beside airport - walk over. But no one there for reception and no key! I got that at reception in Hotel Kangerlussuaq so watch this if arriving after 2. Room was minimalistic but clean. Shared bathroom no issue and loads hot water. Breakfast continental but fine. Overall good enough for our 2 nights there- full day on glacier great trip
• emanuele (2/5): - They
• emanuele (2/5): - I was asked to have breakfast at the hotel Kangerlussuaq instead of at the Polar lodge. So I went for breakfast there. After having part of the breakfast i was told that actually i should have had breakfast at the Polar lodge and consequently i was forced to pay
• Peter (8/5): - Fint sted at overnatte. Gode værelser, rent og pænt. Gode fælles faciliteter. Lige ved lufthavn.
• Anne (8/5): To overnatninger - Det var et godt ophold med god service.
• Liana (8/5): Godt for en enkelt nat - Motel i en meget lille by. Var der en nat
• Michael (4/5): - enorm meget støj og meget lyt i bygningen. Bruser dårlig van på gulvet, vask stoppet. Værelse ok, men
• Erik (6/5): - Udmærket ophold
• Katrine (8/5): - Diglegt sted
• punnaroch (10/5): - So closed to the airport
• punnaroch (10/5): - So closed with the airport
• Jan (6/5): - Polar Lodge er meget slidt og i ringe stand. Når det er sagt, så er der rent og man kan sove rart og godt. Beliggenheden er helt fint og centralt for udflugter eller transit.
• mara (10/5): - A due passi dall'aeroporto ma comunque struttura silenziosa, camere comode e pulite. Personale cortese.
• George (10/5): - For where we in Kangerlussaq this was very convenient. Safe, secure, clean, and warm. Close to grocery store and airport diner
• Jesús (8/5): Buena opción en Kangerlussuaq - Mejor de lo que esperábamos encontrar. Habitación simple pero con todo lo necesario para una corta estancia. Limpio. Amabilidad del personal. Quizás habria que mejorar el mantenimiento de los servicios y ampliar la oferta de alimentos del desayuno
• Howard (10/5): - Very handy to the airport and cafe/restaurant Good breakfast
• Josefine (4/5): - If I could rate it with -0 I, I certainly would. Badly maintained, last step to the entrance is missing, so you have to pull up your (haevy) luggage over the gap. Most of the time the reception is not attended. Tumbler not working. Bed sheeds, pillow cover, blanket cover, have to be removed by the guests bevore leaving. Very baisic breaky, just the bare minimum. Not worth the money. Only suitable for undemanding travellers. The only advantage: it's only 100m off the airport.
• woon king (8/5): - Like it's location, near airport ,supermarket and cafe. Not like it's facilities quite lack of maintenance. The wall paper of the toilet came down and some rooms do not connect with the breakfast area, have to go outside in, pretty inconvenience if the weather is not good.
• Anja (10/5): - Was a nice place to stay
• Nancy (10/5): - Ein Zuhause am Polarkreis. Kein Luxus aber genau was man braucht.
• Jens (6/5): - Mit dem Charme einer Jugendherberge, aber unschlagbar guter Lage zum Flughafen ;-)
• Ansgar (6/5): - Very basic lodge, tiny rooms, communal shower ok'ish only - all compared with rather steep prices
• Marcela (8/5): - .
• Glen (10/5): - you have taken enough time
• Eskil (10/5): - Vi var der kun en nat men det var fint og morgenmaden var der heller noget at klage over
• Nivikka (8/5): - Stille og god
• Anthony (8/5): - Suitable accommodation for the area and weather conditions. Super basic. Very clean. Great front desk staff.
• Julius (8/5): - Var der kun i transit, behageligt og tilfredsstillende
• TOMIKO (4/5): - チェックインはスタッフもいず鍵がドアの外に置いて有るだけ。
• Anca (10/5): - Value for money. Steps away from the airport terminal. Very clean. Shared bathrooms, but we never had issues waiting. There are several bathrooms, some just with toilet and sink, some with toilet, sink and shower. Staff very nice and helpful.
• Agnieszka (6/5): - Very basic accommodation.
• John (10/5): - A very simple room, but very clean, and uncommonly convenient to the Kangerlussuaq airport (motor transport unnecessary). The breakfast was good. I’d happily stay there again.
• Kirstin (8/5): - Prima 1p kamer, schoon gedeeld sanitair, heel basic ontbijt
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Meget primitivt vandrehjem.
• Arno (10/5): - God mulihed for rimelig overnatning
• Martin (10/5): - Simple, but all you need. Very clean. Easy to hear everybody
• marcel (10/5): Great stay 😊 - Rekommenderas = ett trevligt ställe med trevlig personal 👍
• Pedro (10/5): - Very good rooms, friendly staff. Location is great: right next to the airport.
• Ching Lin (8/5): - 就在機場旁邊，離超級市場近
• Vivi (6/5): Fra lufthavn til seng - og tilbage igen. - Man tager en gammel bygning og sætter i stand. Helt OK, men man skal også HEN til bygningen - også, når det ikke er sommer. Der er bygget en slags gangbro, men den stoppper i flere omgange. Da jeg overnattede, var der stadigvæk en del (halvoptøet) sne, så at få den tunge kuffert var ikke let - skulle have taget et billede af hjulene. OG havde man fjernet den "slushice", der lå foran bygningen, ville have gjort tingene lettere. Sidste: Jeres morgenemad er mere end kedelig - sorry! Ved, I holder pricen nede, meeen. Vivi
• PER (8/5): Adequate for a 1-night stopover - The hotel is in short walking distance from the airport. Simple but comfortable for a 1-night stopover
• Dan (4/5): Tæt på Terminalen i lufthavnen............... :) - Simpelthen for gammelt til at kalde sig hotel. Venlige mennesker men sørgelig forfatning på opholdsstedet. God beliggenhed, du kan spadsere 150 m til terminalen i lufthavnen. Grønland er fantastisk. Ejerne af dette kunne få så meget mere ud af dette sted selvom det "bare" er et transit hotel. :)
• c. (10/5): - Wonderful people and all very reasonable.great breakfast
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Einfach, sauber, gut. 3 Minuten vom Flughafen, perfekt für einen Zwischenstopp.
• Francois (10/5): - Praktisch , da in der Nähe zum Airport
• Vanessa (8/5): Fint overnatning - Det var dejligt det var tæt på lufthavnen. Det var super fint muligheden for at lave selv en kop te og at varme maden som man selv har købet i en andet sted. Det er muligt at går en tur omkring. Venlig personale.
• Anda (8/5): Godt - Godt stille og roligt
• Verified traveler (6/5): Just a place to sleep - Kun lige en overnatning - så det gik
• Anda (10/5): Ophold - Godt service
• Dorte (4/5): For dyrt, gammeltdags og ringe - uden service. - Flyvet ankommer kl. 15.45. Døren til reception lukker damtifigt som jeg kommer. Hold dog åben 15 min. Mere! Ingen goddag, velkommem til, dit værelse ligger derhenne, du skal (underligt nok) lige gå ud af bygningen osv Væelse er gammeldags. Uden TV - stort minus! Kun en stik dåse, så man må vælge mellem at få ladt telefon og eller lys ved sengen. Hvad dog i det mindste to stik. Alt for dyrt til et dårligt med toilet på gangen.
• Stasys (10/5): - Ok,
• Lutz (10/5): - Exactly what to expect, Thank you!
• Line (8/5): - Fint værelse til en person, der var det jeg skulle bruge.
• Johannes (8/5): Ikke så venlig receptionist - Ved ankomst var receptionisten ikke så venlig 😊 Måske havde for travlt på en mandag.
• Ida (8/5): Gid overnatningssted - Vandrehjemmet er godt, dyner der passer perfect til årstiden på strdet, dog er lidt for varme til grønlændere. :-)
• stig (10/5): - Ok dejlige ledt koldt
• Nancy (6/5): - Not a lot of options in Kangerlussuaq. Wanted to stay in airport hotel but was full. Lucky to get this place in high season. Basically a hostel - very small rooms and shared bath down the hall. Room and bath were clean, although they ask you to strip your bed before you leave which is annoying when you are rushing to catch an early morning flight. Breakfast buffet is minimal. Two minute walk to airport.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Meget primitivt. Sengene var dårlige, puder og dyner var ikke særligt behagelige og sengetøjet var "måske" ikke skiftet, da der var pletter på lagnet. Det mest positive var at det lå meget tæt på lufthavnen, og at der var en ok fin morgenmad inkluderet.
• Kista (4/5): Dårlig stand - Larmende varmekanon. Trappe med al for stor afstand - farlig. En yderdør der ikke kan åbnes helt - vil være farlig ved behov for flugt.
• Verified traveler (10/5): God og behagelig - Behagelig og dejlig og nem.🙂
• Peter (8/5): Giver 3 stjerne ud over 5 stjerne. - En tilfredsstillende overnatning. Tæt på lufthavnen.
• Janne (2/5): - Med den pris burde der i det mindste være en vandhane på værelset. Ulækre toiletter, farligt føre udenfor, intet signal på TV og ingen radio. Direkte uvenligt personale.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Polar overnatning - Godt ophold til prisen. Venligt personale. Dejligt tæt på lufthavnsterminalen.
• Gudrun (6/5): - Tæt på lufthavnen
• Hanne (8/5): Tilfreds gæst. - Det var en fin oplevelse. Var der kun en nat
• Elisabeth (10/5): - Tryghed
• Anna (10/5): - Comodissimo, raggiungibile in 4 passi dallaeroporto. Ottimi letti, struttura pulita, essenziale, ottimo personale, colazione ottima ed essenziale
• david (10/5): - Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Bathroom, although down the hall was spacious and with hot water
• suzanne (10/5): - This accommodation exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and quiet with rooms overlooking the airport. Clean with three toilets and a shower (in our area). Breakfast of cereal, breads, toaster, condiments, coffee and juice. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Free Wi-Fi which has been helpful. We’ve walked into the township, had dinner at the airport cafe which is open late or there is a Hotel restaurant at the airport, we have also had dinner at the Rowing Club and a complimentary bus collected us from Polar Lodge. The supermarket is located across the road if you want to cook your own meals here and there is a small shop close by where we bought a hotdog for lunch.
• Veron (10/5): - Good location.
• Ilannguaq (8/5): - It's 4th time I was staying in this hotel, and I like it, the area is always great, just 50 meters of walk from the airport. But the bed felt weird and kinda bit uncomfortable, but I didn't notice it after few minutes, and the quilt was extremely warm, even it's April.
• William (8/5): - Overall exceeded my expectations. It was clean and had fast internet. LOTS of water pressure and hot water in the shower. Only negative is that walls were thin and you could hear neighbors.
• Pedro (10/5): - Right next to the airport, this is really convenient. Staff was helpful, room basic but very nice.
• Rafael (6/5): - I didn’t enjoy particularly the property, but there is no alternative anyway
• Calvin (10/5): - Close to airport
• ANNA (8/5): - Just right for my needs. Very comfortable stay.
• SIMENG (10/5): My stay in Kangerlaussuq - Very pleasent stay. Chose this hostel because its near the airport and the staff mananged to find me a room when i contacted them. Mrs. NELSON is very helpful and patiently answered all my questions. Thanks Mrs. Nelson .
• Gretchen (10/5): Super clean and convenient. - Great stay! Super clean room, friendly folks, and clean shared bathroom. This place makes no secret of what it is. A clean space to stay with shared toilets. Know this and you’ll be just fine. Right next door to airport so it’s walkable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent place to stay - Fantastic location - walkable from the airport and bedroom as well as bathrooms were really clean. Staff were helpful and breakfast (in the airport cafe) was excellent
• Ed (8/5): Better than Appearances Would Suggest - Let's face it - this is one ugly looking hotel. But then again, buildings in this part of the world are strictly built with purpose rather than ornamentation. What is important is that, once inside, it is surprisingly cozy and comfortable with ample heat. The shared bathrooms are very clean and there is ample hot water (although you must remember to bring your own soap and shampoo!). However, the best part is that the building is literally about 500 feet away from the airport entrance via a (mostly) wood planked walkway. In addition to being extremely convenient for catching early flights, the airport is, by far, the main commercial center in town. In addition to being an airport, it has a health clinic, a cafeteria that remains open until the evening, a bar, an ATM, and a gift shop. And literally across from the airport entrance is the town's only grocery store, which is also extremely convenient. Proximity to the airport is especially important on a Sunday because most of the businesses are closed or have very, very limited hours, so it is literally the only place to eat. Also, all of the guided tours originate at the airport, so that is also a major plus. Breakfast is very basic (cereal/muesli, oatmeal, bread and cheese) with no fresh items. Still, supplemented with whatever you can cook up with your own ingredients in the kitchen, it has the potential to be great. Each table has a carafe of good coffee, hot water and milk.
• Lk (10/5): - Convenient. Clean Good breakfast. Nice souvenir shop
