“Recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

From what I heard from the taxi drivers, it is "the best" hotel to stay in Iqaluit. Per one of the other reviews, it is similar to the mid-level hotels you find in a city, but provides the cleanliness and comfort I was seeking. The staff was nice, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and there was a pool and gym. I enjoyed the coffee downstairs a the cafe, and the food at the hotel restaurant (Gallery) is known for it's quality. I agree as the food was better than I expected!

There is also a bar/grill attached to the hotel that some have told me is a great place for drinks, but I did not have the opportunity to try. My only complaint would be that the wireless internet reception was not very strong throughout the hotel and was inconsistent in my room.

Lastly, it has nothing to do with the hotel, but Fido does not have a partnered carrier up there, so was unable to call out on my cell phone.

“Nice place to stay in the North”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

Stayed while working in Iqaluit for a week. The rooms are spacious enough and the beds are very comfortable. Service was quite good. Free shuttle to the airport. The little café downstairs (Caribrew) served pretty decent coffee (although I wished it stayed open later and their muffins are like dense cake!). The restaurant at the hotel was very good. The rooms facing the Bay have beautiful views. Free (slow) Wi-Fi at the hotel. There is also a movie theater in the hotel if you have time to catch a flick!

“Very comfortable. Best Ammenties in Iqaluit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

The Frob is a great place to stay if you're in Iqaluit. It's very similar to the mid-level hotels your would find in the south. The town cinema and swimming pool are attached to the hotel complex. There's a bar (Storehouse) and restaurant attached to the hotel. The restaurant (Gallery) was very good. The bar is average.

Free Wi-fi in the rooms and in the coffee shop and restaurant. The hotel is situated close to just about everything in Iqaluit. You can easily walk to the museum, visitors centre, Northmart (like a Walmart)m, Royal Bank, CIBC, hospital, etc...

Room Tip: Opt for the room with Kitchenette. Also, make sure you ask for a non-smoking room on a non-smoking f...

“Pleasantly Surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

I have spent my life North of Sixty, I have traveled and lived extensively throughout the western Arctic and have stayed in some pretty questionable spots. The Frobisher Inn is definitely on the higher end of Northern Hotels. It was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly. Restaurants, coffee shop, store and bar were close by... good food. I had a room overlooking the Bay, very nice, the other side (front) may not be as interesting. Iqaluit turned out to be a very interesting and fun community... will probably visit again. Take a cab tour of the community... well worth it.

Room Tip: Ask for the Bay side, if money is no object the corner suites are nice

“It was quite comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2011

My stay here was quite enjoyable. I wasn't expecting to stay here, my plane was delayed. All they had was a smoking room, and it wasn't too bad smelling. Nice bar, restaurant and coffee shop in the building as well as a movie theater and apparently a pool. The rooms were comfortable. The only downside I had was the internet speed was quite slow.

Room Tip: Any of the odd numbers point toward the bay.
