Ilulissat Vandrerhjem: Youth hostel in Ilulissat
by Saagar
For cheap accomodation in Greenland beyond a tent, nothing beats the "Vandrerhjem", part of the youth hostel system.
Very simple two-persons' room in a prefab military-style barrakcs (polar housing tend to be like this due to the permafrost), with separate shower/toilet and kitchen units for self-catering. You do the dishes and clean your room yourself. Good storage space in the room, very warm, but not very private (thin walls, sharing tables for meals etc.
Beds with mattress, but bring your own sleeping bag.
Slightly in the outskirts of Ilulissat, but still walking distance to all shops, tourist facilities, trailheads etc.
