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

Just returned back from Alta and our stay at the Thon Vica hotel which is based in the older part of the town. Just 15-20 minutes walk from the main town centre and a stones throw away from the Alta Fjord this hotel is a great base for those wishing to get away, relax and venture out on excursions. We...

If you come by car you will have no trouble finding your way in but as we arrived by bus it was a steep climb up stairs with heavy suitcases. The view from the room was wonderful -or would have been if the weather had been better. As it was Saturday afternoon/Sunday that we there the tourist office was shut,... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Vica (we belive it was previously called Quality hotel Vica). Very short taxi ride from the airport. Friendly staff spoke excellent English. We felt very comfortable and safe during our entire stay. The view from the hotel and just outside was breathtaking - beautiful snowy mountains and Fjord! We were made to feel... More
