Location is in the harbor so not much around but it's a short walk to town. Restaurant on site was good. Nice lounge area upstairs. Room was clean and comfortable for a short stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is pretty bare bones with shared toilets and showers for many rooms. No elevator and some staff speak limited English. Employees are friendly and try to help their guests but Nuuk is still a fairly remote location and I don’t think that modern standards in hotel accommodations have reached here yet.

Lovely staff, very helpful and welcoming. Really enjoyed my stay, it is a quiet and peaceful hotel, next to the harbour and a short walk to the city centre. I would highly recommend. Thank you for great experience - overall I loved Nuuk 💚

Incredible hotel in an incredible part of the world! We travelled to Nuuk for our honeymoon from the UK and couldn’t recommend Hotel Soma more. Staff were so helpful even before we arrived, informing us about late check-out options and taxis from the airport. Location is great - plenty of parking but also very walkable to the centre and the colonial harbour (uphill on the way). Breakfast was brilliant and our room was excellent too. We’d love to return one day!

This Hotel is a personal and quiet place to stay. It is a non-profit business that gives so much back to the community of Nuuk. The staff is excellent. Management makes you feel at home. Super great service

Being travelling a lot, Hotel SOMA has exceptional services that was really impressive. EVERYONE at the property are super nice, friendly and what makes them stand out is the Proactiveness to offer help! 1. Initiate to offer me the ice gripper: not expecting the heavy snow, with a pair of running shoes become ultra challenge. The young check-in lady taught me to put this on, so I can enjoy Nuuk on the walk. 2. Extra walk to help drop my post card at post office. They have been very responsible to check for international mailing fees and offer the best support for us. 3. Nice stay at the lounge while waiting for the late flight. The lounge is very comfy, quiet, with electric plugs to “feed” my phone. For sure, whenever I go back to Nuuk, I will stay at Hotel SOMA!

Good value in Nuuk

Hotel is pretty basic, but, at least for my single room, good value for money. Only hic, restaurant in weekends is on reservation-sold out only. Closer alternative is 1.2km away. Fri/sat, think to book in advance your restaurant!

Was a nice place, a bit out of the way but nothing is too far from anything else so that is fine. Would strongly advise not to take their airport transfer as it is silly expensive (300kr). Taxis are readily available from the airport for half the price.

This was a very nice hotel . We had a great view if the harbour and it is an easy walk to the ferry and the tidewater steps where we had a tour booked . The included breakfast was good with eggs ,buns ,meat juices and coffee . Buffet style . Lots of tables and a nice view . We even got an earlier check in which was nice after a long flight . A very reasonable cafeteria only steps away toward the harbour.

Great hotel, well located, clean

This is a great hotel that is situated pretty well in the area of Nuuk. It is very easy to walk to pretty much anywhere in Nuuk from the hotel, even if walking to the downtown area is uphill going and if you have any water tours, the hotel literally can't get any closer than this. The hotel was very nice, clean and I actually had a pretty large room. The bed was very comfortable, the toilet was well maintained and there were plenty of outlets and lights in the room. I never got around to visiting the attached dining room but talking to other guests, it was pretty good. The front desk staff was quite nice and were very helpful in helping me find a good restaurant and getting a taxi back to the airport when it was time to leave. I don't have any other experience in any other hotel in Nuuk, but I would definitely recommend this one.
