The Red House

I prefer the private rooms that are a tiny walk down a steep hill from the main house. Those houses are recently renovated and among the highest standard for a 3 star in Greenland. In terms of how nice and new this accommodation is I was blown away. The view isn't great but I only care about inside my room. It is close to the airport and it will take about 20 minutes to the grocery store or harbour but you can get a ride. This is fabulous for the types that like shared bathroom accommodation or expeditions as well since the owner is a well versed explorer in his own right. The prices are very reasonable. I worked with Axel and I will never forget my time there. I got to see the northern lights on a previous trip. I also went out with Axel to take photos. I was lucky in that I had someone drive me everywhere. I've heard this isn't always the case when the owner is in town. I'd get that negotiated up front because as I mentioned the nearest ATM and grocery store is far and the hills are very serious here. If you're not in super shape, like me, you will be huffing and puffing and sweaty. If you're mobility limited, you may not want to stay here if the operator is unable to drive you or set you up with a local taxi, of which there are about a dozen. You may be better off staying at the big hotel up the hill if you need someone to drive you. I would definitely stay here again if I have access to someone picking me up after activities and to the ATM / grocery store. By the way, you will probably need to pay for your stay in cash. So have a lot on you (several thousand) or go to the ATM. You can't take out more than 2000 or 3000 per transaction but it will be ok to make more than one draw.
