Greenland can be expensive. Nice hotels exist in all of the more visited areas (Hotel Hans Egede in Nuuk, Hotel Arctic – with its igloo rooms – and Hotel Hvide Falke in Ilulissat), but cheaper options exist. Try for the Seaman’s Home hotel in Maniitsoq, Nuuk, Qaqortoq, Sisimiut and Aasiaat. Also check with the Nuuk Tourism office for its hostel program, where locals have rooms they will rent out for a third the price of the town’s hotels. They usually speak Danish and Greelandic, along with very rudimentary English.
