Best rooms

Request a room on the upper floor (2nd or 3rd) facing away from the main street and the common areas – these tend to be quieter and less disturbed by foot traffic or breakfast prep noise. Try to get one at the end of a corridor rather than near the stairs.

Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear of the hotel (away from Mittarfimmut Aqqut). These upper floors reduce street-level noise and offer good light without being too high for easy stair access.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the entrance/breakfast room – they get morning bustle, plus you’re at eye level with passers-by. Also avoid any room directly above the breakfast kitchen, as clatter starts early.

Avoid ground-floor rooms directly facing the street (Mittarfimmut Aqqut). The road runs close to the front entrance and carries local traffic, delivery vehicles, and tour buses during summer. Also avoid rooms near the main staircase or lift shaft if you are a light sleeper.
