Inuk Hostels is located a stone’s throw from the sea with a magnificent view of the Nuuk fjord, and within a reasonable walking distance to downtown Nuuk.
The hostel consists of four cottages and a large common Café Inuk – ideal for hosting meetings, conferences, and other major events.
Inuit culture
For millennia, great stories have been handed down from one generation to the next. Inuk Hostels organizes storytelling events indoors, as well as outdoors in the midst of nature.
Get a real feel for daily life, and let the guides tell you about life, as it was back in the old days. Learn about the heroic deeds and accomplishments of the Inuit of past ages.
Old legends and myths are still kept alive and passed down from one generation to the next. Ask about the moral of the stories, as they may even now, teach you something about life.
If the weather is bad, the storytelling event is moved to the hostel’s café, Café Inuk. Complimentary coffee and tea will be served during the event.
