This hotel is better managed than last time (2 years ago). Clean and very good service overall. Thanks for the hospitality !

Time to update this review...2 years ago I enjoy some decent service and food at that establishment , it is funny how things changes with time...today my partner and I stroll in order to fetch some food at the restaurant...looking forward for a daily special like we are used to find in the other community we were in recently (Cambridge bay , Kugaaruk) since they are all part of the Northen inns chain ...one would expect to be some sort of consistency....

Man, was I wrong!!...

Upon entrance, I was abruptly asked by the front desk troll, what was my purpose in the building... not even hello or good day,

ok, that was a bit harsh, but hey, it's not the Belagio... far from it... I get it.

I stated that we were looking for lunch fare and would would love a table...

At that point, with a contempt and disdain barely vailed, I was told that the restaurant was only for the hotel customer. This restaurant was not open to the public. As we should have known better to even ask and how dare we even step foot in here with such absurd request.

Normally, it would not phase me so much, but it is by far the most appalling lack of basic manners that really throw me off here.

I understand that some restaurants do not have the capacity to serve to the public, that's fair especially in remote communities, but at the very least, put a sign up...

And more so, if you have to turn ppl away, do it with some sort of decency.

This is a poor reflection on the quality services that the Northen inns as be providing for all the northen travelers.

Such a shame ...and be aware...

I was in Gjoa Haven for a week for work and stayed here. It was a really positive experience; the suite room was very clean and cozy. The staff, Jaime and Jason were awesome- super friendly, responsive and welcoming. I brought most of my food but ate a few meals, and the food was yummy. The hotel is within walking distance to the the school, main store, and the cultural centre. Overall, it was a great experience.

Jamie is doing a great job managing this hotel, excellent experience since he’s taken over. He and the cook Jason are gracious and accommodating of my dietary preferences as well, food is delicious and served hot. I hope they stick around for my next trip to GH.

The relief manager, Holly, and all the staff were friendly, helpful and upbeat. The beds, sheets and towels are all top class. I was very happy with my stay here.

First time up in the North and had a very positive experience. Rooms were clean and private.

Anna the manager runs a tight ship. She's super friendly, very hospitable and makes a pretty mean beef barley soup!

Jamie & team doing great job, we were well taken care of and had an overall very positive experience. It's a rather small "Hamlet" and the hotel is located like in the center, within walking distance to almost everything. It's our second stay at the Amundsen Hotel and we would gladly return back.

Гарне місце, особливо враховуючи розташування.
