What a relaxing place to visit. Great service and exceptional food. The only place to stay in Iqaluit!
Staff was amazing - sorted out issues with booking like a rock star. Rooms are amazing, better than I could have ever imagined. The town, the staff are exactly what Nunavut people are amazing, caring and welcoming
This hotel is in pretty decent shape and the rooms are very comfortable. The other comments are accurate that it can get loud on the weekends with the lounge, however if you get rooms at the other end of the hotel away from the lounge then you don't really hear any of the noise. It is a bit pricey and location is up for debate. We were delayed due to weather flying into Pang so we were happy to stay here because of the proximity to the airport. However, if you want more access to local restaurants and shops then it is a bit of a walk into town. The restaurant and lounge serve the same menu and is of good quality with a decent menu. This is also a good place to buy some quick snacks including freshly made sandwiches for a reasonable price compared to what you would be paying at the airport. The fitness center was well equipped and roomy. Wi-Fi service was reliable.
Quality conference centre, inuit owned & operated. Rooms are neatly appointed and offer great views of the horizon. Many works of art adorn the walls and common areas. 2 popular restaurants on-site. Conference amenities are top- notch.
Great rooms, awesome food and super friendly staff everywhere! My new place to stay in Iqaluit.
Stayed here many times in the past. Our recent stay here was good. I especially enjoy the display case at the front counter for easy access to sandwiches and other premade meals made ready for purchase. There is a vending machine as well with resonable prices for candy and sodas.
Walking distance from the airport. Clean well maintained accommodations with coffee and tea , fridge and microwave in the rooms.
Travelling to Iqaluit doesn't offer a lot of options for hotels. Aqsarniit is the newest hotel and it shows. The rooms are comfortable, furnishings new, and generally very pleasant. The staff are friendly and doing their best, but they're also new and not as experienced as one would encounter in the South - but that's to be expected. Iqaluit is a very small place after all. The hotel restaurant and lounge are good by Northern standards, but again - service won't be the same as in the South nor will the quality of food. It is good by Iqaluit standards though. Word of warning - the lounge does get loud after 22:00 - especially Thursday - Saturday nights, so if you're a light sleeper, request a room on the third floor or higher. Definitely will return!
