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
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.
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.
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.

Absolutely loved our stay. We spent five weeks in Scandinavia and stayed in over two dozen lodgings, this was in the top five! Comfortable accommodations and wonderful food, but what really makes Bjornfjell special is the staff. Everybody was so pleasant!

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. 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
The facility was very well managed in the aspects the host considered essential to a camp styled accommodation. Although many things were not provided, like in-cabin bathroom/toilet; or provided with extra cost like towels, bedsheets and duvet linen, pillow cases etc, customers should understand this is by its nature as a camping facility, not a hotel. With this in mind, I was fully satisfied of my stay there for 2 nights. Good job.
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.

Visit end Sep 23. One of my top 3 hotels out of over 30 I stayed at during my 5 week trip in Norway. Beautiful location with exceptional rooms, spaces and the most helpful and friendly staff out of all the places I stayed. Amazing food and ambiance. Contemporary and eclectic. Will definitely be back!
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.
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.
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.
Incredible view and fantastic location. We really loved the drive to and from the house. Very cozy place, and nice setup. Overall great spot, we just wish we could have spent more time in Alta. Very accommodating and responsive owner.
Lovely property with really nice staff and an amazing restaurant. Had a walk through the husky dog yard and a walk down to the Alta River - all on the property - and a memorable and very high quality restaurant experience.
Incredible breakfast, beautiful location but a little further out from the city centre. Friendly staff, stunning ice hotel and the main house is also very beautiful. I would want to come back in the summer as well!
Very cozy hotel with a great architecture and beautifully decorated throughout . The rooms are spacious, very comfortable and so relaxing! (there’s a small learning curve for operating the light switches :))
The hotel is run by a family, they were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent with a large variety of foods. Free parking in front of the house. Fantastic view to the fjord.
We have stayed in Canyon hotel many times and we like it. It is in the middle of the city, good fresh breakfast, rooms are clean and very comfortable. The beds are absolutely heavenly.
Nice breakfast. Perfect service at the reception. Hotel provided early check-in once room was available, which was very nice. Perfect location. Good internet connection.
The views from the hotel are beautiful. the rooms are large and comfortable with a delicious breakfast. The staff is so kind and helpful with anything that you need!
