Book Tasiilaq hotels

It’s the only hotel (+restaurant) in the area so the owner doesn’t have any incentive to be nice. I arrived around noon, walked 15 minutes from the airport to the hotel. No one was in the lobby. I found the way to the restaurant and asked if I could buy lunch. The staff at the bar said they didn’t know if they could serve lunch. Someone else said something like there was no food today. I only had a light breakfast at 6am & was starving so I asked if they could do a sandwich, cook eggs or give me bread or anything. He said no. Right behind us were pastry leftovers from breakfast... I asked where I could buy lunch : no other restaurant and since it was Saturday the grocery store was also closed. The guy then told me that they was no food anywhere and they might not even be delivered food for dinner… and that I could go back to the airport as they had little food there. So I walked back to the airport. They had microwaved pizza slices, instant noodles and junk food. So I took what I could for lunch and instant noodles for dinner just in case. Went back to the hotel and saw a few guys outside smoking : the owner was there, said he was surprised to see me (there were only 2 flights arriving that day) and checked me in. I asked if they would have food for dinner & he snapped back that for years he’s been here and dinner was always served at 6. He didn’t listen when I tried to explain what happened. Owner is rude and seems to treat his staff poorly. Terrible experience.

Nice hotel and friendly staff. Comfy bed and nice food, but the climb all the way up the hill is not for the fainthearted. Not a lot of choice in Tasiilaq, but be prepared for a very steep walk if you are staying here.
