Disliked: Staff & service
Bad service
Nothing negative to say about the rooms. The problem was the service. When it was time for our check-in, our keys were missing. We figure eventually to go to Hotel Kangerlussuaq to get them. No staff from Polar Lodge to help us for the whole week-end. Other guests seems to be confused with the check-in process. We had to deal with the receptionist of the Hotel Kangerlussuaq several times for different issues/questions (for
instance the soap we had was overly diluted in the bathroom). He was clearly annoyed to help us. Not the type of service we expect. Fortunately, the locals from Kangerlussuaq are such good folks.
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.

I did not know exactly what to expect at Polar Lodge but my expectations were exceeded. It was well located just beside airport - walk over. But no one there for reception and no key! I got that at reception in Hotel Kangerlussuaq so watch this if arriving after 2. Room was minimalistic but clean. Shared bathroom no issue and loads hot water. Breakfast continental but fine. Overall good enough for our 2 nights there- full day on glacier great trip
I was asked to have breakfast at the hotel Kangerlussuaq instead of at the Polar lodge. So I went for breakfast there. After having part of the breakfast i was told that actually i should have had breakfast at the Polar lodge and consequently i was forced to pay
Very handy to the airport and cafe/restaurant
Good breakfast

Like it's location, near airport ,supermarket and cafe. Not like it's facilities quite lack of maintenance. The wall paper of the toilet came down and some rooms do not connect with the breakfast area, have to go outside in, pretty inconvenience if the weather is not good.
Value for money. Steps away from the airport terminal. Very clean. Shared bathrooms, but we never had issues waiting. There are several bathrooms, some just with toilet and sink, some with toilet, sink and shower. Staff very nice and helpful.
A very simple room, but very clean, and uncommonly convenient to the Kangerlussuaq airport (motor transport unnecessary). The breakfast was good. I’d happily stay there again.
Not a lot of options in Kangerlussuaq. Wanted to stay in airport hotel but was full. Lucky to get this place in high season. Basically a hostel - very small rooms and shared bath down the hall. Room and bath were clean, although they ask you to strip your bed before you leave which is annoying when you are rushing to catch an early morning flight. Breakfast buffet is minimal. Two minute walk to airport.
