Altafjord Gjestegaard, hotel in Alta

If you want peace and quiet and a lovely view of the Altafjord - then this small family hotel is perfect for you!

The view on the sea was beautiful, the room super comfortable and the breakfast very good. We really enjoyed the common rooms with armchairs and see on the sunset

Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, hotel in Alta

Only 12 miles from Alta’s town center, along the Alta River, is where this special igloo hotel is located.

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.

Gargia Lodge, hotel in Alta

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

The location, surrounded by nature (but easy-to-drive road from Alta) was very scenic. The wi-fi worked well, The room had character. THere is convenient food available for many hours starting in the late afternoon. This was a buffet of three casseroles (we liked all three, so that was good), with good bread. Beer etc. available. Silent at night.

Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge, hotel in Alta

Located in Alta, 10 miles from The Rock art of Alta, Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

If your purpose to come here is to watch the Northern light, then this property is good. Just you should not count on the hotel staff to call you when the Northern Light is out. They said they will, but they dont really care for Northern Light. However, since it is very easy to go out for two doors which faces different directions, so if you install the Northern Light tracker App to tell you the % of chance in real time and you also pay attention for the weather forecast hourly, you should know when to go out of hotel door and just standing outside to watch Northern Light. Note, the naked eyes will only see white color like cloud, you have to use the camera to like 10s slow exposure to see. The room is very clean/new/comfort. The restaurant food is good except the fine dining one. Dont go for the tasting menu. They are not that great. The other restaurant is much better. The breakfast is very good. Do join the Husky ride, it was so fun.

    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

    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.

    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!

    This boutique hotel was a fantastic combination of my two loves: dogs and food. The hotel is home to dog-sledding huskies (Trine) and a phenomenal restaurant (Trasti). We stayed in one of the bungalows and it was very comfortable, cosy and kept us warm during the deep winter of January. Breakfast had a beautiful home-cooked feel and the dinners we had felt like fine dining. They also have the most extensive wine collection I've every seen in a restaurant.

    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.

    Honestly, it was my first time to Alta and 30 seconds into my stay the staff made me feel welcome. The breakfast was generous, the hotel was clean, quiet, and additional information was very available. I could not have felt more at home. Walking around the town was grand, and taxis were easy to call & get to take you all over.

    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.

    We enjoyed a lot the stay in Sorrisniva. The staff was very kind and helpful. Also, the food was very good and the rooms very comfortable. The landscapes around the hotel are great. We loved the husky experience provided by Trasti og Trine. For sure we want to be back.

    Location was great, there are restaurants in the pedestrian street behind the hotel and a popular pizza/bar right next door. Our room had a view of the church and was comfortable. We were able to park our motorcycle right next to the hotel. A good choice.
