Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Iqaluit cost?
Budget hotel prices in Iqaluit vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $452 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Is Iqaluit a budget-friendly destination?
While Iqaluit is generally considered a more expensive destination, travellers can absolutely experience its unique culture and stunning Arctic landscapes on a budget with some smart planning.

For solo travellers and couples, the key to affordability lies in understanding the local economy, where many goods and services are imported. Accommodation can be pricier, so consider booking well in advance or looking into guesthouses and B&Bs for potentially better value than larger hotels. Shared accommodation options, though limited, can also offer savings.

To save on food, consider bringing some non-perishable snacks and staple items with you, as groceries in Iqaluit can be significantly more expensive. Dining out can add up quickly, so look for local eateries offering daily specials or grab-and-go options. Many of Iqaluit's most captivating experiences are free, such as hiking the Apex Trail for panoramic views of Frobisher Bay, exploring the vibrant local art scene, or simply enjoying the midnight sun or the Northern Lights, depending on the season. Public transportation is limited, but the town centre is quite walkable, and taxis are a common way to get around for short distances.

What free activities should we do in Iqaluit?
Iqaluit, while not typically considered a budget destination, offers several enriching free activities that allow solo travellers to experience the unique culture and stunning natural beauty of Nunavut without spending a fortune.

For solo travellers, a great starting point is exploring the city on foot; the compact size of Iqaluit makes many attractions accessible. You can stroll along the shoreline, particularly around Koojesse Inlet, to take in the serene Arctic landscape and observe the ebb and flow of the tides. The views of Frobisher Bay are spectacular, and you might even spot local wildlife or fishing boats in the distance.

Another excellent free activity is visiting the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum. While small, it offers a fascinating insight into Inuit history, art, and culture through its exhibits, and entry is typically free. Following this, a walk up to the Nunavut Legislative Assembly building allows you to admire its distinctive architecture and, if the assembly is in session, you might even be able to observe proceedings from the public gallery, offering a glimpse into the local governance.

Finally, for those who appreciate the outdoors, taking a hike up one of the nearby hills offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding tundra. These walks are invigorating and provide fantastic photo opportunities, especially during the long summer daylight hours.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Iqaluit as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Iqaluit for you.
