Friendly staff, decent breakfast, clean, and you get exactly what you are told. Nice common living rooms to hang out in if the room is small.
The hotel was clean and friendly and I'd readily stay there again. For the price though, I'd have wished for a little more luxury on the downstairs rooms. I stayed twice in a week; the first time was downstairs and close to the hot tub - very noisy that night with a group in the tub. The second night I stayed, it was upstairs, it was quiet, and much more luxurious. Definitely ask for an upstairs room!
Really liked this hotel. It is right in the harbor, which is one of the more interesting and colorful areas of Nuuk. The food in the restaurant was great and the bed and room were very comfy.
We loved our stay at Hotel Soma in Nuuk. The staff were so warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable throughout our visit because of the kindness shown to us. The restaurant was superior, and the Christmas feast was truly amazing. Our room was very clean and had the minimalist styling and high-quality furnishings the Danish are famous for.
Excellent staff , helpful, room was perfect , shared bathroom and toilet were kept clean
Service at the restaurant was quick and food quite good
Heated to a cosy temperature
I would definitely stay here again
Location is in the harbor so not much around but it's a short walk to town. Restaurant on site was good. Nice lounge area upstairs. Room was clean and comfortable for a short stay.
A big thank you based on my recent stay at Hotel Soma Nuuk. The hotel was a fantastic option and deliberately chosen as near the Tidal Steps for a few boating trips. My budget room was impeccably clean, and warm.
Breakfast was brilliant with a good choice of hot and cold options.
A big thanks you to the young lady who manned the restaurant for breakfast/lunch, and the young man on evening duty - did a great job of welcoming me and giving me the general low down on the areas food
Thanks
Great hotel. Very close to the downtown area. 15-minute walk or so, immediate next to the port for the cruise I did around Greenland. I stayed in the budget room, which meant shared shower and toilet, but it had a nice sink in the room for brushing the teeth. Great economic option. And it was really cool to stay in one of the older buildings instead of one of the newer modern ones. Definitely recommend this place. Oh and delicious restaurant!
Staff friendly, hotel OK and clean although some rooms do not have their own bathroom. We did and the shower was very good - nice water pressure but the bathrooms were outdated. Hotel is about a 15 min walk from town so not very centrally located. Thought it was expensive $345 per night.
Nice breakfast buffet offered, several nice options were available. Beds were very comfortable, but as usual, extremely narrow. Small
Great shower pressure
Easy taxi ride to and from airport. Dinner menu was limited but presented very well.
Do not forget to bring your 2 prong euro AC adapters. There are no USB charging ports for phones. Wall outlets only. Overall, a nice pleasant stay.
Lovely staff, very helpful and welcoming. Really enjoyed my stay, it is a quiet and peaceful hotel, next to the harbour and a short walk to the city centre. I would highly recommend. Thank you for great experience - overall I loved Nuuk 💚
This Hotel is a personal and quiet place to stay. It is a non-profit business that gives so much back to the community of Nuuk. The staff is excellent. Management makes you feel at home. Super great service
Incredible hotel in an incredible part of the world! We travelled to Nuuk for our honeymoon from the UK and couldn’t recommend Hotel Soma more. Staff were so helpful even before we arrived, informing us about late check-out options and taxis from the airport. Location is great - plenty of parking but also very walkable to the centre and the colonial harbour (uphill on the way). Breakfast was brilliant and our room was excellent too. We’d love to return one day!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Basic Stay
The stay was fine. The hotel is pretty basic. My room was small....with a twin bed and one pillow. The towels in the bathroom are very small and thin. My room was not serviced one of the days despite me asking which was annoying.
