The staff on Reception are really helpful and informative. We arrived to an excellent welcome at 3.00pm although our double room was not ready. However luggage stored, a cup of coffee and a 'wander' and the room was ready by 4.00pm. The room was spacious with plenty of storage and an empty fridge for us to use. The ensuite was... More

Visited Alta recently and stayed in Rica Hotel Alta with my gf and our three year-old daughter. In retrospective we regret having chosen to stay here. The service level in the reception is desperately poor and the staff seemed annoyed having to deal with guests. At more than $260 per night it's beyond belief. We arrived just before noon and...

Good traditional norwegian breakfast and a selection of warm dishes. You may get prepared an omelette with ingredients to your selection. Conferencing facilities are good. Rooms are ok. Beds are a...

But compared to many other hotels in Norway this is something I don't mind to pay here. Close to everything In Downtown Alta. The... More

I was in Alta to witness the Polar Night, the part of the year between mid-November and mid-January when the Sun never rises. I stayed in the Rica as part of a package deal arranged by Tabor Holidays. Although only a 3 star, the hotel had many 5 star qualities. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and nothing...

This is certianly tour bus tour central. I was also part of the bus tour groups. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and quite spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom was a decent size, with a good shower and excellent water pressure. Once plus was the laundry machines, which though they proved a bit complicated to get working, (the directions are...

We stayed in this hotel on June 30th, for a relaxing night before continuing our journey to the north cape. Unfortunately, we couldn't sleep before 3:30 am! Not because of the 24 hours of daylight but because of noisy drunk people leaving the nearby pub, and even closed the old generation windows couldn't stop the sound. Having said that, the... More
