Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, hotel in Alta

Situated 20 km from Alta’s town centre, along the Alta River, is this special igloo hotel.

Great experience staying in the ice hotel. We stayed in the basic ice rooms since they were much cheaper and you can visit the carved rooms before 8pm. Food was lovely in the Laavu restaurant and breakfast was also very nice. Sleeping bags for the ice hotel were cosy and warm which made for a comfortable sleep.

Thon Hotel Alta, hotel in Alta

Set in the same building as AMFI Alta Shopping Centre, Thon Hotel Alta offers free Wi-Fi and rooms with a cable TV and minibar. Alta Bus Station is located right next to the hotel.

Our stay at the hotel was very nice and we absolutely recommend it. Our room was huge and we had a phenomenal view. The staff was more than friendly and the breakfast was excellent. Shopping centre, restaurants and a parking spot are nearby. Kind advice: English descriptions of the breakfast would be helpful. The window in our room was pretty dirty.

Gargia Lodge, hotel in Alta

Located a 30-minute drive from Alta city centre, between the arctic tundra and the arctic sea you will find Gargia Lodge, surrounded by nature.

Breakfast was great and so was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Made you feel right at home. The location is a bit far from town but its worth it if you're looking to be immersed in nature. The lodge offers lots of tours and activities.

Canyon Hotell, hotel in Alta

Set in Alta city centre and within 4.3 km of The Rock art of Alta, Canyon SMART Hotell features a shared lounge, allergy-free rooms, and free WiFi.

Very stylish and comfortable hotel in the heart of Alta. We arrived just after the restaurant closed but the very friendly reception staff gave us recommendations for nearby places still open. The room was amazing - it felt like a rustic log cabin but was very well equipped - not at all like the outside of the hotel would lead you to expect. Its location is very central - just beside a large car park in the centre of town and a couple of minutes walk to the shops and cathedral.

Flatmoen Natur Lodge, hotel in Alta

Featuring a spa bath, Flatmoen Natur Lodge is located in Alta. Providing free private parking, the campground is 7.2 km from The Rock art of Alta.

The setting was totally picturesque with views out over mountains and forests. The extra touches of recliner beds so you could get comfortable inside to watch the northern lights from the glass roof, and lots of choice of hot drink pods for the machine. They had really useful information inside to on local places to eat if you didn’t want to eat on site too. Then the hot tub was utterly define, and kept at temperature so you could you use whenever you felt the need

The location is beautiful . It just needs to be soaked in . It really is pretty. It faces a river and the place is beautifully done . With big bay windows .

The girl at the reception was kind to check activities for us from other places as they were packed . The bathroom is beautiful as well and the shower stall is of Good size . Breakfast was as in the region standard and the same everyday . You do get to make your own pancakes if you want !

    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. 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

    Beautiful boutique hotel, incredible food, amazing staff, and wonderful vibe around the hotel generally. We didn't want to leave! Everything is awesome about this hotel - if you're considering it, book it!! You won't regret it!! Also make sure to eat here frequently and book the tasting menu if you have time - the owner is a truly terrific chef. He worked as a chef for the prime minister for many years and his food is out of this world excellent and he has fantastic wine selections to match as well!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ice hotel is profoundly beautiful. Such a once in a lifetime experience. Warm enough overnight and hauntingly gorgeous as one of few guests in the ice hotel itself. Breakfast was delicious- tons of local items. Highly recommend.
