Rude staff, overpriced for what u get

Our flight got cancelled and we booked this place because Thon Hotel where we stayed at previously was fully booked and we liked its location and noted that Scandic was just beside. However, although we paid double the price at Scandic, the rooms were smaller, views weren’t as great and most of all, staff there were all grumpy and receptionist that tended to us was rude. We simply asked if we could get an earlier check in if there was a room available as we were tired and had a lot of manage with our flight cancellation but she showed zero empathy and was simply brushed us away and asked us to come back later to ask, without giving any time or more information. For the amount we paid, we definitely do expect some better service here. Scandic, if you do not want to lose your customers to a better player you have just opposite you, please retrain your staff or maybe reduce your prices.

Flott sted - Fine omgivelser i Alta i nærområdet. Upåklagelig. Men en forespørsel Savnet en Pizza vi kom opp for- Ben's Spesial som har vært best selgende i 35 år. Håper Scandic kan prate med kokken Ben Slimen H, å få den på plass igjen! Det er min far så bare ta kontakt, så får vi se hva man kan få til.

yisik

Disliked: Staff & service
I had very disappointing experience at this hotel. when I picked up the two suitcases I had left with the hotel before check-in, both were partly open. One had a cover, but when I removed it, I found that about two-thirds of the zipper was undone. The other suitcase had a lock, but somehow it had been opened, the insider zipper was undone,and some of my clothes had been fallen out. I tried to report this, but there was no phone in the room. when I went down to the reception, it was crowded with people checking in. After trying twice,I gave up as I could not find what had gone missing. Overall, I cannot recommend leaving your luggage with this hotel.

Retour à Alta

Petite surprise. Pour la première fois je suis arrivé avec une voiture et j'ai découvert que le grand parking juste devant l'hôtel ne leur appartient pas, et qu'il est payant. Je n'ai pas regardé les détails concernant les heures, le parking derrière l'hôtel est payant de 10h00 à 20h00. Pour le reste, accueil, chambre, petits déjeuners,etc...tout est parfait.

Séjour de qualité à Alta.

Je connais cet hôtel pour y avoir séjourné il y a deux ans pendant un séjour axé sur les lumières boréales. Pas de neige, pas de nuit aujourd'hui, le décor à changé et il y a moins d'effervescence qu'en periode de Finnmarksloppet, cependant l'hotel reste au top.
