Youth Hostel

This neat single-storey building sits all alone about 600m north of the airport, backed by a small mountain attractively ribboned with waterfalls. Dorms and showers are clean and very well kept. The big sitting and dining room has a library of interesting books and is one of the best places in Greenland to meet fellow travellers; both they and the staff here are a great source of hiking and travel information. There's a well-equipped kitchen, and laundry facilities are available (Dkr30 per load). Accommodation prices assume that you'll bring your own sleeping bag, but you can hire one for Dkr50 per night. To camp in the yard costs Dkr100 per person including hostel facilities, but the ground is rock hard. From mid-September to May the hostel might open by arrangement for groups. At any time booking well ahead is strongly recommended. Nonguests may use the showers or the kitchen for Dkr30 each.
