Polar Lodge

Affordable Pricing and Simple Breakfast: The hotel provides cost-effective accommodation, especially considering its remote location. While the breakfast is limited to basic items like bread, cheese, milk, and cereals, it is free and sufficient for a quick meal.

I slept really well here. Caroline in particular was lovely and has multiple good recommendations for me and helped me out when the room I was assigned was not what I would have hoped for. They could improve the breakfast since it’s just basic carbs and nothing else. No protein, no fruit. But it wasn’t a big deal. Do yourself a favor and book a FULL DAY trip on the ice with Albatross. I had an unforgettable and amazing day. Using crampons for the first time and walking down ice might scare you but the guide Karl was amazing and he’s a great coach. It feels scary and awkward at first but it’s so worth it.

The polar lodge is really basic lodging. The room was really more like a dormitory, or at best a hostel. It was simple, with two bed single beds pushed together and covered by separate duvets, towel, desk. In a cool nod to the local area, the only décor in the room was a muskox pelt stapled to one wall and reindeer antlers used as a coatrack. All of the rooms share a bathroom, which was down the hallway. There was a full kitchen/common room for guest use. In the morning, the lodge provided a very basic breakfast here: bread, cheese, and coffee/tea. The lodge has a great location next to the airport, just around 200 meters away. This is a fine option if you have a one night layover between flights at Kangerlussuaq, but don't expect anything beyond basic and want a cheaper alternative to the airport's hotel.
