Stayed in one of the cabins which was wonderful. Very spacious, heated floors and gorgeous views. The only downside was getting to the room, as they are outside you need to walk along the external footpath, parts of which are stone/gravel and very uneven to reach the wooden path. It was quite difficult getting a heavy suitcase up the stairs in the freezing cold. Staff were friendly, food was excellent and there is also a free shuttle to and from the airport. Make sure you book with reception the night prior to departure. Approx 20 min to walk into town or you can get the bus or order a taxi at reception. The bus timetable is displayed at the reception desk.

Glass cabin is nice but small

We stayed one night in the glass cabin. The view is nice but the room is quite small. During day time on a sunny day the room can get pretty warm. One other thing I didn’t realize before the stay was that any small LED lights at night are reflected on multiple glass panels which could be annoying for some. I would opt for a larger suite in the main building next time.

There's a lot of good stuff to say about this property. First, it's owned by Air Greenland so if your flight is canceled or delayed (as was ours), they put you up in this hotel, which is the closest one to the airport. The city bus, which only costs a couple bucks and runs every 30 minutes, actually stops in the parking lot. Too, there's a free shuttle to and from the hotel from the airport. The restaurant and bar are a real plus, but the breakfast buffet is the best one we had in 3 weeks in Iceland and Greenland. It puts all others to shame. The trick is to fill up there and save the cost of lunch before spending your life's earnings on dinner in Greenland. The downside to the Hotel is that it's not close to the city center or restaurants which is either a short bus ride away or about a 20-minute walk. The Icefjord Center is completely on the other side of town and the grocery store is in the city center. Taxis are expensive (what isn't in Greenland) but readily available. We loved the view from the room. All the icebergs floating outside the window were awesome. Too, the boat tours are about a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The staff was particularly awesome in helping us when our flight was initially canceled and then significantly delayed the next day (typical Greenland weather). I'm a walker and there aren't that many hotels and restaurants in Ililusat. I really think Hotel Arctic is the best of the bunch.

Fantastiskt läge med utsikt över stad, hamn och hav. Rummet var helt OK, med sköna sängar. Badrummet tyvärr opraktiskt med få avställningsytor. Receptionisterna väldigt trevliga och hjälpsamma med allt. Kan tyvärr inte säga detsamma om restaurangpersonalen, som har mycket att lära när det gäller service och trevligt bemötande, oavsett om det gäller frukost eller middag. Ett plus för shuttlebussen till och från flygplatsen.
