This is a small and very nice hotel with an excellent kitchen. Quite recently it became a member of the Thon brand and has not changed anything after that as I can see. No changes were needed anyway:-) The hotel is not in the center of Alta, but just a couple of km's outside. They have a nice atmosphere with... More

Nice hotel, quite rustic with a lot of wood! We were the only guests so there wasn't much atmosphere but we still enjoyed our stay. The staff were all extremely welcoming and friendly, the food in the restaurant was delicious and a good spread at breakfast

Restaurant is excellent, also breakfast is good. Service could be better, also the room did not impress us. We had a room in 2nd floor facing next building and backyard, it was not roomy, and filled with furniture (see pic). Reception greeted us arriving quite late, with "you need to pay now and you get receipt tomorrow morning" (why?? I... More

The hotel is a converted farmhouse on the edge of Alta just off the main road. It is well signposted. It is in quiet location with excellent views over the fjord. We were welcomed by friendly receptionists. There is free parking on site with plenty of space. The location is ideal to visit Alta Museum with its rock carvings (well... More

The enormous flexibility of fhe hotel and each person who served us was very unusual and exceptional. On two occasions we preferred to have dinner after our tours - which was after the time the kitchen closes normally - and it was no problem to get food later in the evening. Not only a sandwich but the full menu. We... More

Alta has a wonderful setting and a dramatic atmosphere, but it is not very picturesque. So if you'd like a little character during your stay, this is the place to go. Built over a core of a farmhouse, this hotel retains some charm - including stuffed animals in the lobby, a delightful (tho' reasonably expensive) restaurant and friendly staff. It... More

This facility probably has seen better days. Its old decorations and design stand at the border between tired boredom and cabin charm. It is 20 minutes walk from the "center" of Alta. We stayed in rooms convereted to sleep three guests. While original beds were comfortable, a sofa converted into a bed was not comfortable at all. Service varied immensly... More

A nice place with a bit cheaper price tag (as the rest of the Alta hotels). Rooms that are in the road side of the buiding are a bit noisy because of the traffic, so try to book the fjordside rooms. Also there is a better view... The twin room had a lot of space, but the kitchen staff made... More

I stayed at this hotel on my way to Nordkapp and upon returning to take the plane that would take me back to Oslo. I drov from Alta to Nordkapp and the ride is beautiful! Alta is not a tourist destination per se, but you'll arrive here if you are visiting the area, whether for the Aurora Borealis or Northern... More

We stayed here as part of our tour of Northern Norway. We had a lovely room facing the minight sun. We were made very welcome. Breakfst was good, but the restuarant would have been very expensive for dinner.
