On my second trip to Alta (I stayed at Trasti & Trine last time, in Dec 22), I decided to stay in town. I’m glad I chose the Thon because as a four-star experience, it’s as solid as it gets. The room: good size, spotless, comfy bed, excellent housekeeping, quiet, well-appointed and a kettle instead of a fiddly coffee machine. The gym: Top class. Like a premium European city gym. Breakfast: As a vegan I found it fresh, delicious with lots of options. Nice restaurant too. Excellent. Staff: Very helpful, friendly and polite. Location: Right next to the mall and Northern Lights cathedral. Some nice long walks too. Pick up for excursions is the Scandic which is 20 seconds’ walk away. Alta tourist office is next door to the Thon. You’ll need one of Alta’s very expensive cabs to go out of town or to the brilliant Alta museum. Overall, as a chain hotel (I have stayed in the Thon in Oslo), you know what you’re getting here: a solid, reliable four star hotel in a good location and at an honest price. Highly recommended.
