Greenland accommodation from NZ$207

Very nice stay.

The staff member who checked us in was lovely, welcoming, and exceedingly helpful. She accommodated an early check-in and provided us with a space (boiler room) to dry out our sopping wet boots. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that I had booked a "quadruple" and what we got was really designed as a triple (double bed and sofa) - all of the dishes and cutlery came in triplicate. I chose not to say anything as she was so kind to give us an early check-in. The room was absolutely tiny and it required a game of Tetris to fit all of us, allow us to re-pack, have meals in the room etc. But it all worked out and the welcoming and helpful staff made up for a lot. The breakfast was very good as well. I liked the location, a bit on the edge of town and we enjoyed our walk to the downtown past the harbor.

The staff and apartments were outstanding. Especially Kristine stood out with her kindness and willingness to help. The only reason I rated the apartments as 4 and not 5 stars, is that they actually are shared which is not obvious from the booking website. Each unit seems to have 4 bedrooms (2 doubles and 2 singles), and you share the rest of the apartment with other guests. The indicator on the website was the "sleeps 8" comment, that I found surprising but did not investigate further. I was under the impression that I was renting a one-bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom and living area. Uur unit companions were equally surprised to see other residents, so it was not only us who missed that aspect. At 60+, I'm not exactly keen on sharing a bathroom with strangers. We were lucky and had great and respectful room mates, but I could easily see this as being a source of contention. So it's more like a very nice hostel than a rental apartment. Also, the manager walked into our unit twice with her key, without even knocking - unacceptable behavior.
