Scandic Alta

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights recently while on a tour of Scandinavia. I would describe the hotel as a business class hotel that catered to tours. The hotel is very well located in the heart of Alta, with a shopping mall just across the walkway that has eateries and a grocery store in it, among other stores. There were a number of other tour groups at the hotel while we were there, and they seemed to handle this well. The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of foods that were well prepared. A couple of minor things we thought could be improved. One is that while it was nice the hotel had a washer and dryer that could be used for free, there was only one. There were many, many people wanting to use these machines. As such, my wife and I did one load of laundry and wanted to hang the clothes in our room to dry. Unfortunately, we only had three hangers. The hotel had no extra hangers. We talked with other guests and some of them had only two hangers in their rooms. For the cost of a few more hangers, this seems a bit absurd.

We spent a few days at the Scandic in Alta. Our room was big, pretty new decorated and had a really nice decorated wall. The beds were new too, big and comfortable, nothing to complain here. They serve a very good breakfast too. We liked the staff working at the reception, which always was in a good mood.

As part of a vacation tour, we stayed two nights in a standard room. The beds were comfortable and room was a good size for two persons. Hot water was plentiful and curtains did block out light. Not sure of the star rating but i would rAte as a 3star with no tea or coffee in rooms,no safe as advertised, no wine glasses, no tissues or other conveniences in bathroom. Some do not have fridges. Breakfast was well presented and ample selection with good coffee. Reception does not have lounge are and bar not available until 6 pm. Average stay with average accomodation.

Pet friendly room was really expensive and you had to pay extra fee for the dog. The quality of the room was quite poor - felt that we were given a second grade room since we had a dog with us. There were no bowls for the dog, no bathroom floor mat, no lock on the bathroom door, no tissues, furnitures were old and stained and the room itself wasn’t cozy at all. Fortunatelly the room was clean and shower was good. The staff was really nice and the location is good. Breakfast was really good, even the glutenfree was great! Still 210€/night is way too much for this kind of a hotel room.

Make sure you ask for a room nowhere near the lifts or overlooking the foyer. Our room, 217 had both & it was noisy & light. No kettle in the room, plug capacity on 1 side of the bed only & staff not very enthusiastic sadly. |Sparse foyer, but breakfast buffet was pretty good.

As a Scandic Friend member, I am please to yet again to write; I always enjoy staying at a Scandic Hotels. This one is no exception. Location in town is good, staff is friendly, rooms are nice and it is clean and friendly. This hotel offers a nice bed with good pillows and a very “big” breakfast.||I highly recommend this place

If there is only one power outlet in a room, the room cannot be called modern. The breakfast was OK, but not great.

Very nice hotel. It's located right in the heart of things. Close to good restaurants (like Erica's). The front desk staff are very helpful and nice. The bar is nice and intimate over in the corner of the lobby. Rooms are nicely appointed. We had a business class room so it had a hot water kettle and tea in it. Which is always a bonus! I'd highly recommend staying here.

Nice service and a few select Items on the menu. With a fantastic view of the Cathedral.
