Breakfast was provided, as well as a ride to and from the airport - really convenient! A clean and affordable property in an expensive place. The howling of the sled dogs in mid-morning was delightful! Would gladly stay again.

The hotel was nice and had friendly staff. I appreciated they checked us in early, however I did find the 10am check out quite early. I did not like how people were permitted to smoke on the balconies in front of the room windows as it made it difficult to get fresh air. There was also a city bus stop right in ground of the hotel which I appreciated. The hotel also offered free airport transportation. Overall it was a great stay.

Excellent place to stay.
Amazing views on the floating icebergs. Lovely staff. Good food. The only hard thing was dragging our suitcases 3 floors up...otherwise everything was to our expectations. The bus stop to the town centre is right at the door and the bus is very easy to use. Free airport shuttle.

Hotel Søma Ilulissat is a very nice place to stay. It's absolutely clean. The location is awesome with nice views of Ilulissat and the icebergs. The rooms are very pretty with some of them having a small kitchen with everything you need. And the staff is always friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay a lot.
Highly recommended!

Could have been better
A small room with not so good beds. Decent internet. Not so much sound insulation in the walls :-( A small place for cooking and a refidgerator. You can get by for a couple of nights, but for longer stays it will not work. Close to the airport :-)
