If you are a women and will be staying at this hotel with your family make sure that you are not on your womens monthly cycle and accidentally stain a little the sheets otherwise the father of a little girl(s) will be accused of raping their own child and be taken to the family services and hospital WITHOUT asking their guest of their concerns first. The staff at discovery doesnt realise what they put our girls through. Very traumatizing and painful to have seen them scared, lost, confused when they were taken by commplete strangers to the hospital and have their panties be taken off for check up. TRAUMATIZING. we are still hurt by it. We were hurt not only us but everyone around us. Its concernimg, i wonder if they do that to inuit especially now that medical travelers now stay there.…
I stayed four nights at the Discovery. It is as a smaller single story hotel. The room is was fine, clean, and hot water. The bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was very good but expensive. Definitely a fine dining experience in Iqaluit.
Rooms a littke aged. Wifi terrible. TV would not work and party next door made it difficult to sleep but staff are friendly helpful. The restaurant is amazing. The char the caribou all great. Breakfast too lots of fresh fruits.
The Discovery Hotel is easily one of the top hotels in Nunavut. Unlike practically all accommodations in the territory, you could almost be fooled into thinking you are in southern Canada while staying here, if you ignore a few giveaways. All staff (almost entirely francophone) were friendly and helpful. The front entrance and hallways are all very nice, and my room was fantastic. Clean, large, and comfortable. Shower worked great, and the TV had a decent selection of channels. However, much like Iqaluit itself, as hard as the Discovery might try to belie it's Nunavut roots, this is still Nunavut. The wifi is terrible, even worse than any small town Co-op Nunavut hotel I've stayed at, and was barely useable during my stay there. Expect to pay at least $300 a night, which is slightly above average for the territory. Prices at the on site restaurant are also high even for Nunavut. I would certainly try to stay here again the next time I'm in the "big city."…
I enjoyed my stay here. Check in and out was a bit slow but no big deal. The room is ok the smaller size but I liked the coziness, it was cold out! Some nice artistic touches. I really liked the lounge area with the big tv. It is good for waiting for people or hanging out outside your room. It was quiet enough for me although you can hear things. I am a light sleeper and it didn’t affect me. I wish you could control lights from the bed...maybe you can and I just didn’t figure it out. Will definitely stay here again. It is a location you can walk to a few things from. Adjacent restaurant was super for breakfast. Thanks!
