Scandic Alta ★★★★

"The hotel is in a good location, just opposite the Aurora Church"

Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge ★★★

"We stayed one night in the ice hotel, did the ice sculpting activity during the day of our stay, and had the tasting menu for dinner. The staff was fantastic and really friendly - shoutout to Ida at the front desk, Philip and Romain, as well as Nathan, Magnus, and Maria in the restaurant. We went in the middle of the week during the winter and it was very quiet. We spent time in the main lobby and in the “living room” with the fireplace since you don’t have access to your room in the ice hotel until 8pm. There wasn’t much to do outside of the planned activities and the main lobby is very quiet- you couldn’t really hear the music they had playing. We went for the tasting menu for dinner with the wine pairing. Magnus’s wine pairings were very good and the pours were generous but overall the food didn’t match the price. The ice hotel was a cool experience and we slept well. We enjoyed the sauna that was included the next day. The included buffet breakfast was very good. We borrowed snowshoes and used them on the trails around the property which was great too as the trails are well-marked and maintained. Overall, don’t go halfway: if you’re interested in staying at the ice hotel, spend the extra money to add on the activities or make sure you’re out in nature, or plan to arrive later in the evening. Otherwise you might find yourself sitting around a lot."

Thon Hotel Alta ★★★★

"Pictured is view from the hotel window.  As with Thon hotels, room is clean, functional and of a good quality."

Canyon Hotell ★★★

"The location was great and the staff was fantastic. The room was somehow very dusty, whenever we moved we could see it in the air around us. The breakfast had everything most people want, but it was still very basic."

Canyon Hotell ★★★

"The hotel is located in a pedestrian zone. The parking lot is located in the shopping center diagonally across the street. There's a fee for this during the day. The room was good, clean, and the curtains provided good blockouts. The beds were a bit narrow. The restaurant served tapas. There were lots of small dishes to choose from. You could order via your smartphone. Small burgers, small lasagna, everything was small, so you could try a lot of different things. The prices were reasonable, and everything was truly delicious. It was an experience for us!"

Flatmoen Natur Lodge ★★★

"We loved everything about our stay! Staying at Flatmoen was the best part of our 9 day trip. We were only there for a night but thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views, cozy cabin, luxurious hot tub (did I mention with a stunning view) and, the best part, getting to ride the fabulous Fjords on a night ride to seek northern lights. Johnny was an incredible host who made us feel right at home and like we made an instant friend. If you have the opportunity don't hesitate, stay here and make sure it's more than one night!"

Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge ★★★

"We stayed for 6 nights at Bjornfell, in one of the lodges. The beds were super comfy, and we had a kitchen and fabulous bathroom. The breakfasts are buffet style, and they will cook eggs as you request. Not huge choice but enough for everyone to choose something they like, including lovely bacon and beans ! Dinner is a set menu for the week, there are daily specials but the choice is a bit limited. Kids have a choice of 2 meals or one off the main. The trips they organise are amazing- the trip to the top of the mountain , dinner over a fire watching the aurora was fabulous. We also enjoyed tobogganing and the kids loved playing in the snow. Lots of areas for them to sledge and play. Everyone we met has been super helpful and friendly, really great service and nothing is too much trouble. They organised all our transfers to all activities for the week, including some late night pick ups. They also hired us snow gear for the week. It’s been a great base for us in Alta and would recommend for a lovely isolated break in the snow"

Onga Lodge ★★★

Gargia Lodge ★★★

"The Alta Canyon hiking trail is close by (about 10 min via car / bike) and the nearby waterfall is just a magnificent place to see. The staff is extremely friendly. Alta city centrum is not that far away and at Gargia Lodge one can truly enjoy peace and quiet and beautiful Norwegian nature."
