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

Beautiful big room with excellent bedding and furniture- even 2 recliners to relax in. I would’ve liked to try the sauna but didn’t have time. The host was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious and had a large range of high quality food. I only wish we had time to stay more than 1 night.
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.

Nice cabin with glass roof ad walls. Perfect for viewing polar light. Or plunge in the private jacuzzi on your terrace. The host is friendly and serves a great breakfast on request
Staying at Holmen Husky is an experience far away from staying at an ordinary hotel. We want our guests to get closer to nature and to get a taste of what it is like to live close to the elements.

Lovely small room. We stayed here 2 nights and this was the perfect amount to experience the area and lodge properly.
Fantastic staff and lovely evening meals. Obviously, the highlight is the 50+ dogs on the property!
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

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Alta
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.
We had one night in this Ice hotel. It is an experience, fun but not wholly comfortable (you can't have toilets in an ice hotel) and expensive - even more so for someone paying in GBP.
We have more than 70 million property reviews, and they're all from real, verified guests.
