    Unfortunately, the guesthouse has no restaurant, although it has a suitable large room which would make easily the nicest eatery of Alta.

    Away from the rather dull city centre. Very nice view from the room. Easy check-in.

    A charming place with home vibe, yet hotel level comfort.

    This place, but also every other place in Norway, has a very peculiar concept of "two separate beds". They put the beds together, with a single bedsheet spanning both. Not a big deal for me, but this can lead to awkwardness if someone actually needs two separate beds.

    There was a room accessible to all guests, with two comfortable armchairs and a view to the fjord. Just amazing place to relax in the evening. The breakfast was very good. The owner was very quick to respond and accommodating. Well communicated by busses with the city center (with long distance coaches to other cities), the airport and ferry harbour and the Alta museum.

    The room is really thoughtful with the Guests needs. Great bed and linen, radio, reading lights, cloth hangers, cosy sofas, heated toilet flooring and delightful views. Breakfast has everything you could need in the morning. The breakfast staff is really attentive and it makes you feel at home. It is the perfect small Hotel to give some quiet time to yourself and have a nice and deserved rest. Thank you very much for the Manager's and Staff hard work.

    The team went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. It was so appreciated to have friendly faces greet us every morning and be able to provide advice on how to navigate the ever-changing Arctic Circle weather. The views were incredible and we lucked out waking up to snowy vistas in the morning and being able to see the Aurora from the comfort of glass enclosed lounges at night. We also got incredible insight into the wonders of dog sledding being able to follow the guesthouse owner as he took on the Finnmarkslopet. Big bonus is having delicious hot chocolate and coffee on tap! Thank you for a great stay!

    There is no elevator so big luggage can be a bit difficult to bring upstairs. As typical for Norway, there were no bidé in the toilet.

    The hotel was small but clean and in a great location. The staff was great and breakfast very good as well. Coffee machine downstairs was a nice addition as well.

    We got a very nice room with a lot of space and a nice view. The hotel was very supportive and helpful for several arrangements. We still had snow outside and a lot of ice below the snow and on the stairs up to the entrance, making using the stairs a bit risky. Removing the ice from the stairs would make it safer for everybody.

    It is a beautiful guesthouse. Unique deco. We take taxi outside the airport. It is near driving. The guesthouse is not near town but not far either. Can walk, maybe half hour. Can walk to a petrol kiosk that sells burgers and others.. The breakfast spread is very good! The owner also pack breakfast for us for our early activity and departure. She is very accommodating. The room is good size for 2 people. We saw a small Aurora here outside the house. Heavy snow still at end of March.

    There was absolutely nothing negative – everything was perfect.

    We stayed for one night and felt completely comfortable – 10 out of 10! The room was very clean and exactly as described. Breakfast was a real highlight, with a stunning view of the fjord, a rich selection, and everything fresh and delicious. The host was extremely friendly – we had a lovely conversation and received great tips for the area. It was our second time here, and we would come back anytime!

    This hotel is unique for so many reasons.. it's in a very quiet and peaceful place (mind you that Alta center is quite far if you move by foot.. around 30 minutes to reach the famous church). The walk to get to Alta center is quite pleasant so I suggest you try it at least once; if you prefer taking the bus instead, there's a bus stop not too far away. In front of the hotel there's the beautiful fjord, watch always the sky as the northern lights might appear right above the hotel (look at the picture). The room was quite comfortable but a little cold despite the heating system; I chose the fjord view and you could admire it from the room. The bathroom has a heated floor and the bed has a nice and super warm duvet. The hotel has no spa however there's a sauna in a shared room. The breakfast buffet has many options (salmon, other fish, even gluten free gallets, gluten cakes..) and everything is really tasty.. I appreciated the wide choice (really superb.. you can easily skip lunch after such a beautiful breakfast). There is a free beverage machine you can use throughout the day and there are 2 free massaging chairs too (you can sit there admiring the fjord). This hotel deserves a 10 however the tenant is quite hostile towards clients: the hotel is full of signs of prohibitions regarding smoking and check-out that has to be done in time. I actually can understand those however I would have liked to see some welcoming signs too. There's no reception service basically!! There's a little range of hours where you can find reception and for the rest of the day there's none. I expect from a hotel that reception service has to be assured for most of the day. The buffet closes at the time (9:30 if I remember correctly) and if you are seated already you can't take any more food -> I understand there must be rules about breakfast times, however there should be some flexibility.

    We would have appreciated if there was a wardrobe in the room instead of just a recess in the wall fitted with a few hangers.

    A spacious room. Two common living-rooms at guests' disposal with a nice view over Altafjord. Tasty breakfasts. Free parking.
