Scandic Alta

The hotel is located in a central location facing the Northern Light Cathedral near the super market. The lobby and the entrance are quite big and have good ambience. The rooms are well furnished and maintained, though a little congested. There is no Kettle/coffee maker in the room. The food is good with lot of choices.

What a great stay! The room was clean and lovely, the staff helpful and kind. The breakfast is shockingly wonderful - three counters of delicacies; everything wonderful breakfast/brunch item you can dream of. The salmon was a marvel. I highly recommend this hotel and the outstanding breakfast buffet.

Great location, but at that price I'd expect better service and nicer/clean room.||Parking is also really expensive in front of the hotel, park on the parking spot next to e6, half the price. ||Adequate spread for the breakfast. Local reindeer meat was a fun feature. Servers weren't greating you welcome or asking if you'd like coffee or tea. ||||I stayed in a pet friendly room which resembled an upscale asylum reception. ||Pink and black mold on glass doors in shower. ||As you pay extra for the pet to stay there I'd expect same standard room.

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 had stayed at the Scandic Alta a few years ago with an organized travel group and quite liked it back then.|But this time, as a couple, we were very disappointed - the "Standard" room unfortunately really is just a shoebox - no space, no comfort at all. And unfortunately, other than going for a suite, there are no better room categories available.|The hotel per se, the breakfast, and staff - all top notch - but calling this "closet" a "Standard room" is a stretch....

excellent location. very clean: hotel, room, dining area. superb breakfast. onsite restaurant is nice ( open for diner only ). they had me at delicious veg burger. :-)

Room. The room was adequate in size. Had wooden floors but was quite basic. There was no tea or coffee making facilities. Even in basic motels in most countries you have these. Indeed in every other Scandic we have stayed at these have been available. It must be questioned why? There was a refrigerator in the room which was dirty which questions housekeeping. The room was also fairly dusty when looked at closely. ||Wifi. This worked really well. ||Public areas. These were light and airy. Seemed quite busy. Two entrances to hotel, one from the back which is not obviously visible to reception. ||Food service. Described by reception as a la carte. In reality was same menu as at other Scandics. Better and cheaper options available nearby. Breakfast buffet was busy but decent choice. ||Reception. These are the first port of call and give a first impression. Generally efficient but not overly warm in greeting.||Car Park. It is questionable why a hotel in what is basically a small town needs to charge guests to park. ||Would I recommend this hotel, Unfortunately no until basics such as free car park and tea and coffee in the room are provided.

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.

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.
