We loved the ice hotel carvings.. It was so unique and beautiful. Definitely worth upgrading to a suite if possible. The breakfast was delicious as well. Several downsides of the hotel include- cost for extra things such as using the hot tub or sauna, also don't recommend the bus driving northern lights tour [very poor forecast and no option to change activities, cancel or try again another day]. We drove around for 2 hours and the guide barely spoke to us.
If you want peace and quiet and a lovely view of the Altafjord - then this small family hotel is perfect for you!

Friendly and welcoming just a wonderful place to stay! We needed recommendations on best places for dinner and sites to see - and everything was spot on. The room was so clean and comfy- common areas were chic and had a relaxing vibe. The breakfast was amazing.
Set in the same building as AMFI Alta Shopping Center, Thon Hotel Alta offers free Wi-Fi and rooms with a cable TV and mini-bar. Alta Bus Station is located right next to the hotel.

The breakfast was great. It had something for everyone. Plenty of choices including fresh fruit. The hot breakfast items were kept fresh and hot. The hours of operation were perfect for getting food before heading out to see the city.
6.2 mi from Alta City and 1640 feet from Alta River lies Trasti & Trine Boutique Hotel. Surrounded by forest, the location offers good hiking, skiing and biking trails straight from the cottage door.

Beautiful setting. Lived the separate little buildings and the small house we were in had amazing architectural/design elements

Beautiful Interiors and the sauna came in handy quite a lot after a cold day. Great for an adventure packed holiday!
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
Great hotel with extravagant and very cosy rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was delicious. It was long ago since I had such a nice and comfortable stay for such a prize (in Norway and any other European country). Moreover, the hotel is central, close to the bus station. Thanks for having such a lovely stay. Unfortunately, I could only stay for one night.
The facilities were great; the views were beautiful. They had an excellent breakfast spread as well. It was easy to get into the facilities and the hotel room. Taxis were also easy to get from the location. City center I'd say is walking distance from the location as well.
The hotel was spectacular. We had the chance to view all the suites and they were all incredible. If you can splurge on the suite…do it! The art in the hotel is just incredibly creative and beautiful. All around in incredible!!
My first time staying at a Scandic, it is a really nice business hotel.
Big clean room, very comfy, refreshment available in the lobby,
Super breakfast and nice stuff
Plus there is a really nice and cozy restaurant in the lobby
Great hotel, excellent staff in a very good position. Hotel is Connected to a shopping mall and Restaurant so If its cold you dont even need jackets. Breakfast is super!
