Dear Jay, Thank you for your feedback. It is nice to hear that you got a fantastic service and breakfast. It is also nice to hear that you like the hotel and the location. Welcome back at another occasion.
Incredible view of Alta from the 6th floor. Clean & quiet. Heated floors in bathroom. Very helpful staff! Superior breakfast! Conditions were icy, so wonderful that Peppe's Pizza was next door (delicious), and the 3-story mall could be accessed without going outside. Breakfast would have cost at least $40 each in a nice American hotel. Walking distance to Northern Lights Cathedral and top restaurants in area. Wise decision to stay here!

Dear Hannes,
Thank you for your feedback. It is nice to hear that you had a great stay with us. I am sorry to that you had problems with the ckeck out.
Welcome back to us another time.
Great hotel in the centre of Alta. Near the bus station and some rooms overlook the cathedral. Room was larger than most standard rooms. Very clean. There is a small gym. Breakfast buffet am and you can access a pizza restaurant from the lobby. Go through this and you are in the shopping centre. No bear in the lobby which other reviews have stated so probably hibernating.

Dear Anonymous, thank you so much for taking Your time to give us a review! I am really glad to hear that you had a good stay With us - that makes my day! We wish you all the best, and you are welcomed back here any time.
The breakfast was amazing, and the room was very good as well.
However, without a credit card they made me give them a 1000 kroner security deposit. As I was flying back home the next day it cost me time and money to exchange this money back into euros. They wouldn't accept euros as safety deposit.

Dear J.T.M,
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the Security deposit is the policy of the Hotel. I will take this with my boss if we can Accept euros as safety deposit in the future.
The rooms are well laid out, very comfortable bed, useful kitchenette unit and nice bathroom with underfloor heating. The breakfast is OUTSTANDING, with the best range and choice I have seen anywhere (and I've stayed in a lot of high end places), even including vitamin and omega 3 supplements if that's what you want! Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful. Bonus that we ended up on the 5th floor with a great view of the cathedral. I thoroughly recommend this hotel!

Dear Michal,
Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear that you`ve enjoyed your stay here at Thon Hotel Alta. We hope that we get the chance to welcome you back at another time!
We were only there for one night but our experience was great. The bed was very comfortable, the room was very clean and a good size for my husband, two kids and myself. The most amazing thing was the free breakfast buffet the next morning! It was by far the best breakfast buffet we have ever had.

Stayed here twice while visiting Alta. Rooms are clean, full kitchenette, larger than normal,
Breakfast Buffett full of typical Scandinavian foods.
The Thon Hotel chain has really done a great job with their locations,
Rigtig fin oplevelse fra start til slut. Bedst var personalet: Altid imødekommende og venlige lige fra front desk til morgenmadsbuffet og restaurant og til roomkeeping.
