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.

Our stay at the hotel was very nice and we absolutely recommend it. Our room was huge and we had a phenomenal view. The staff was more than friendly and the breakfast was excellent. Shopping centre, restaurants and a parking spot are nearby.
Kind advice: English descriptions of the breakfast would be helpful. The window in our room was pretty dirty.

Paul
United Kingdom
Very stylish and comfortable hotel in the heart of Alta. We arrived just after the restaurant closed but the very friendly reception staff gave us recommendations for nearby places still open. The room was amazing - it felt like a rustic log cabin but was very well equipped - not at all like the outside of the hotel would lead you to expect. Its location is very central - just beside a large car park in the centre of town and a couple of minutes walk to the shops and cathedral.

The setting was totally picturesque with views out over mountains and forests. The extra touches of recliner beds so you could get comfortable inside to watch the northern lights from the glass roof, and lots of choice of hot drink pods for the machine. They had really useful information inside to on local places to eat if you didn’t want to eat on site too.
Then the hot tub was utterly define, and kept at temperature so you could you use whenever you felt the need

Lovely cute place which is not too commercial.
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.AAnonymous - 8.0Scored 8.0

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).AlexRomania - 10Scored 10

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. 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

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 96 reviewsYou are provided with two high quality sleeping bags each for your stay in the ice hotel, which could be unzipped and combined to create one large sleeping bag and the the other two could be combined to create a large duvet. This made the stay not only nice and warm, but surprisingly very comfortable and cosy for my partner and I. We were also fortunate enough to have a clear night and good aurora forecast. That combined with the seclusion of Sorrisniva made for a truly breathtaking Northern Lights show.
GreggUnited Kingdom - From £235.75 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 495 reviewsNot only is this a magical place located in the middle of the forest, it is also very cosy and comfortable. Our room was clean, modern, spacious. It had a kitchenette which was very convenient. Plus, there is a free fast charger for electric cars. The hosts offer a gourmet breakfast with a lot of variety and local produce. The food served for lunch and dinner is excellent as well. This place does not feel like a hotel, it's like visiting friends and family. A must when travelling near Alta.GayaneNorway

They had lotd of options, including gluten free and vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan. Fresh products, there were lots of tables so even when most people came to eat, you didn't feel crowded. We had to check out very early in the morning, so they were kind to provide a breakfast bag (you have to ask the night before).Anca CRomania

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.
