Old Camp

Super helpful and friendly staff, clean, great location.

everythink was ok

It’s located a bit far from the airport but they provide free shuttle service to coordinate with your flights and if you book tours with them, they also offer free pick up so you don’t need to worry about the location being distant. The room is spacious and clean. Shared toilet/shower room is also clean all the time with dry area to hang your clothes and stuffs. They also offer free breakfast which is sufficient to start your day. There is also souvenirs shop at the reception in case you would like to have some gifts. Staffs were helpful and friendly. Bonus point is that this place is perfect for you if you want to see Northern Light because it’s far from town and air pollution. There is no guarantee but for me I would love to have a higher chance. To me this place is perfect for my stay in Kangerlussuaq, definitely will stay here again on my next visit :)

Far away from restaurant

Great lay over, clean and nice early breakfast. Good transport to and from the airport

简单又窄小的双层单人床，幸好有免费早餐，机场接送，免费wifi，住客入住时必须自己动手套床单，退房时一定要取出床套，这点真的有点坑，毕竟房价有点小贵，不过格陵兰真的值得来看看，夏天的ilulissat 真的非常震撼，大家要多留几天在ilulissat, 因为天气因素真的会影响航班，我去程因为雾霾，机长已经调头回去Kangerlussuaq，最后一次尝试突然雾霾不见了，顺利降落，真的是奇迹，否则第一晚的ilulissat 昂贵住宿就泡汤了。

Old Camp is perfect if you just need a place to crash between hiking and excursions or as a base camp before backpacking. Small simple rooms, and it’s a hostel so bathrooms and kitchen space are shared. We rarely had to wait for bathrooms/showers, except one morning when our building ran out of water so we had to go next door while they refilled the tank. Breakfast is simple but reliable. Like most places in Greenland, the host is there during daytime hours only, so if you need things after hours it can be a little tricky, but they have helpful phone numbers listed in the common area. The person at reception was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had to change plans last minute, and she was able to help with changing both our hostel reservation and our activity reservation with Albatros. You can easily walk between Old Camp and the airport, though it would be a little challenging with bags. We opted for the city bus which goes to Old Camp once per hour.

Transportation is not always available.

Needs complete renovation of the entire building.

Water didn’t work one day…. However fixed fairly quickly

The water was broken and there was no water. I couldn't use the toilet or shower.It was inconvenient that there was no one at the check-in. I had requested someone to pick me up at the airport, but there was no one there.

Hostel with minimal amenities but nothing crucial missing. The only challenge was regulating heat in the room on warmish nights, but we figured out how to block open the window so that it wouldn’t squeak or bang. I would definitely stay there again.

during the night the bunk bed collapsed under me and it was only by sheer luck that my brother and I escaped without serious injury. the hotel is really worn out, better go somewhere else.

Really nice people and clean comfortable rooms

Only used as a base for stays outside but it served its purpose quite well. Bit far "out of town" but then nothing is really far so that isn't really a problem. Arguably it is a bit basic here but it does not pretend to be anything other than that and if you come to Greenland expecting different things then you are probably not being realistic.

Very clean. Very old. All facilities are very limited but then it doesn't pretend to be otherwise. Front desk staff are great!

Old Camp is exactly as it describes itself: basic shared facilities in a spectacular setting. The rooms are functional and very clean. The shared areas are useful and comfortable. The staff is outstanding! There is regular transportation to the other end of town, but the walk is easy, peaceful, and lovely. And even though Kangerlussuaq is small, staying in Old Camp feels more like getting out into the country.

Basically it is far from everything you need The receptionist was very nice and helpful but if you arrive off time after 4 pm. all you get is to retrieve a key in an envelope so forget buying a drink or chocolate bar. You have to walk back to the airport 20 minutes away. They do have bus service when you arrive and leave, but between that, the schedule is irregular. When my flight got in 3 hours late, I was told I would have to wait another hour for service. The rooms with not even a sink, they have 3 toilets and a few showers for 15 rooms. Oh yes, the 8 x 10 rooms can cost close to 200$ Sorry, but at that price you can find way better. Finally, their policy of no cancellation refund when you are traveling in the Arctic with being at the mercy of weather is a little too rigid for my taste.

Arrival fine but even with transport it is quite distant from needs Wi fi very irregular or out
