Hotel Ammassalik

Hotel Ammassalik (or Angmagssalik) is up the hill from the harbor towards the back of Tasiilaq.  We had great views, plenty of room, good service, and good food. 

There are 40 rooms in the hotel and we were in room number 40. The hotel was built in 1974 but it was smaller then. It has been added onto over the years, so it had some peculiar passageways and stair cases. 

The hotel was added to on the left, the right, and then behind. Our room was on the left side, just to the right of the outside staircase. It gave us a great view of town.

The windows in our room opened up so we were able to take these photos from our room. I was surprised to find a large (dirt) soccer field just down the hill from our hotel.

This photo is looking to the left from the above photo.

This is just a more zoomed in view of the harbor. I never tired of this view. The icebergs had been farther out in the fjord but a strong wind blew them all towards the back side. One instance, we heard a huge loud boom-bang cracking sound. It turned out to be one of these icebergs splitting apart. 

It was cool in the mornings, to be sure, but we still managed to enjoy coffee out on the deck with our great view.
