Friendly staff, good breakfast, 2 good restaurants in the building but you can see some wear and tear and some upgrades is needed. Check out is already at 10am which are at least 1 hour to early also linked to breafast closes at 10 so it becomes a rush
Great place to stay in the middle of Nuuk, 2 really good restaurants on the Hotel.
The room was always clean and the personnel was smiling and helpful.
We enjoyed are stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The one problem we had, a plugged shower drain, was resolved quickly. The breakfast and staff were both very good. The restaurant that served steak was the best we had experienced in our 2 month trip through Europe from Romania to Greenland. The beef was cooked perfectly and was very tasty and easy to cut. We highly recommend anyone visiting HHE to dine there at least once. But make sure you have a reservation. The first night we were there we couldn’t get a table.

This hotel is centrally located and that's where the overall benefit ends as there are few options in Nuuk in terms of hotel. this property is very expensive for the product being sold, but again there are few choices outside of Air B&B options. Wifi is weak, netflix did not work more than half the time, the amenities are tired looking and restaurants offer little options for vegitatarian, vegan or non-meat eaters. Overall it works but again for the price it should be at least a 4 star experience. You're paying for location.
This is the best hotel in Nuuk. After being stuck there due to Air Greenland flight cancellations we stayed at over three hotels in the area, and this one was by far the best.
Well located, friendly staff, congratulations to Danny at front desk, great customer service attitude. Very nice suite, good TV, very good breakfast. Several stores nearby. Great service from Michelle in restaurant
It was ideally situated in town and had an excellent restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be the bass booming through the floors from the bar at midnight.
Conveniently located, this is a hotel with all the amenities a traveler needs, especially in a place as remote as Nuuk. Including an excellent restaurant on the top floor.
