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.
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.
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.

the location and the surroundings is just fabulous
all the stuff but especially the main host that accept us was sincerely nice and welcoming, a thing hard to have nowdays..
the dinner and the breakfast were totally good, fresh and tasty (vegeterian friendly..)
the cottage was small but cosy and clean
10 km from Alta City and 500 metres 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.

We loved everything about our stay at Trasti & Trine. Such an authentic and lovely experience!
Featuring a garden, Camp-Alta is located in Alta in the Finnmark region, 6.1 km from The Rock art of Alta. This campground provides free private parking, private check-in and check-out and free WiFi.
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
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!
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!
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.
Breakfast was really good, although pending pending completion of extensions it was at an adjacent building.
The hotel is really central in the town, and easily found and at the hub of facilities in town.
Wellness centre including yoga, sauna was a bonus.
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.
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.
Location was good, easy to find close to restaurants and the Cathedral of Northern Lights right in front. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice, beds comfy. Best breakfast spread we have seen in our travels through Norway!
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.
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 was just perfect, the staff was super helpful. Trasti was the best host anyone could expect! Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone intending to stay at Alta.
Great seaview, midnight sun view. Comfortable bed. Amazing breakfast buffet. Rustic, Nordic style decor. Free parking in front of hotel. A memorable stay.
