    Lovely cute place which is not too commercial.

    Lovely cute place which is not too commercial. Great place to do a northern light run, Go for a smaller tour size of 7-8 ppl instead of 50 sized. First its very safe even if you are going solo and also you have a more personal discussion with the group and also much more personalized attention to see the stars and the northern lights.

    I came for the museums and some quiet relaxation, and got plenty of that! Lovely town with good food and lovely people. The weather in June was grand... nice during the day, cooler at night. A fan was all I needed to be cool enough to sleep. The local taxi company got me around town with ease, though their is a bus I never tried out. I sadly do not speak any Norwegian, and I was able to get around with ease.

    Alta is a town that is difficult to reach in winter, so it is good to make reservations as late as possible to get a refund without penalty. Accommodation owners and tour operators will take your money and not refund you even if you prove that you didn't arrive in Alta due to weather (cancelled planes or planes that were unable to land).

    Be sure to p pick the right time of year.

    Be sure to p pick the right time of year. The summer season is very short and several museums and other places close at the end of August. September we found to be relatively fine as well as October. We found that some places were closed whether this was because of the end of season or still related to Covid is/was uncertain. Alta Museum and its rock drawings and other Sami history is very interesting and informative. The Northern Lights (Nordlys) Cathedral stands dominant in the centre of town and well worth a visit. Obviously at this particular tie of year the Northern Lights are always a possibility.

    There are many grocery shops some of which are very large.

    There are many grocery shops some of which are very large. We could find gluten free food The views of the mountains and bay are very nice when it’s sunny The rock carvings museum is definitely a place to visit I recommend the Vanvitting Grill for the excellent raindeer burger with strawberry sauce

    We got an upgrade to a cottage with a kitchen and it was very beautiful. It was clean and comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We had dinner at the restaurant both nights and the food was good although quite expensive. It is a cosy hotel and we really loved our stay overall. There is a Mexican lady at the restaurant and she is very warm and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure we are eating well at breakfast. There is also a Philippino gentleman who is very helpful. The other staff were also courteous and friendly.

    Not only is this a magical place located in the middle of the forest, it is also very cosy and comfortable. Our room was clean, modern, spacious. It had a kitchenette which was very convenient. Plus, there is a free fast charger for electric cars. The hosts offer a gourmet breakfast with a lot of variety and local produce. The food served for lunch and dinner is excellent as well. This place does not feel like a hotel, it's like visiting friends and family. A must when travelling near Alta.

    Johnny was amazing! He thought of every little thing to make us enjoy our stay. The cabin was beautiful, and we saw a spectacular Northern lights show. The sleigh ride was perfect....I love the Norweigen Fjord horse...Timion. We were able to get close and pet him. Everything about the stay was exceptional, hot tub, homemade breakfast, nature hikes...absolutely competes with the Grande Hotel, Oslo. Flatmoen Natur has better service by far! Can't wait to come back!

    Bed was very big and comfy, bathroom was very clean. The breakfast was great, as always when staying at a Scandic hotel. They had lotd of options, including gluten free and vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan. Fresh products, there were lots of tables so even when most people came to eat, you didn't feel crowded. We had to check out very early in the morning, so they were kind to provide a breakfast bag (you have to ask the night before).

    We had an all around fantastic stay. Staff was really nice and proactive to make you feel at home. The included breakfast and the meals we ordered were delicious. Certainly a fantastic experience if you're looking for something other than the usual hotel room. And as luck has had it the weather allowed us to see a beautiful aurora right there and then.

    The hotel was nicely decorated and spacious. Never saw any staff members which felt a little odd (reception's opening hours were very limited) but they gave us good enough instructions by email so we didn't have any trouble getting into our room. The coffee machine in the lobby was nice as was the view from the breakfast room and lobby.

    The location is insane. The hotel itself is insane. The staff were amazing. The food was amazing. The excursions were out of this world. Probably the best day I have ever had! A 30km husky trip where I drove my own sleigh, followed by a Northern Lights spectacular. Sorrisniva is a rare find! Book now! Honestly amazing! xxx

    Beautiful modern lodge a short ride outside of Alta with breathtaking mountain views. Outdoor warm jacuzzi and indoor sauna was very enjoyable. Kitchen well equipped and rooms were clean and well furnished with towels and bedding. Communication with the host was great - would love to be back soon.

    This place is SO GOOD. We stayed in some very fancy Alta accommodation which was great, but we absolutely LOVED our nights at Alta River Camping. The photos do not do the place justice. It is so cute, AMAZING value for money, great location and SO FUN! One of the best places we stayed on our trip.

    Good location close but outside Alta. Nice cabin. Very friendly and helpful staff member. He did his best to allow for the heating of my car during the night (-20 C). The are only a few electricity plugs on the camp side and wire extension was necessary to reach these due to the snow.

    Amazing location, food and staff. The breakfast was fantastic. The views from the room were stunning. Unfortunately it was cloudy, so we didn't see the Aurora, but if it was clear, we would have had the best view. Warm and cozy. The dinner was expensive, but worth every penny.

    The hotel has a great location and offers a fantastic breakfast, one of the best I have had in the recent years while travelling. :) The bus station is just a few minutes away from the hotel, so if you are exploring Northern Norway by bus, this is the place to stay.
