- "We stayed here 3 nights. First- if you are considering going to Alta- do it. This was our favorite location during our two week trip to Norway. The "downtown" area is one pedestrian street the equivalent of 4 blocks. The Canyon sits almost right in the center. There is an indoor shopping center almost across from the hotel which gave us some nice escape from the cold. Anything you may need is there- it was also just fun to walk around. The hotel is very nice with a wonderful restaurant on the first floor, that also served free breakfast. The rooms are large, clean and well appointed. The staff was wonderful and helpful. If you are going to Alta and are looking for a great place to stay you will not be disappointed in the Canyon"

- "Awesome experience! Slept in the ice hotel for two nights and it was some of the best sleep I've had. If I had one criticism, it would be the lack of info on the website explaining how it all works (i.e. you don't get to leave any of your things in the room because they run tours during the day). Small thing though and well worth the expense and travel to do it. " - "Our stay was fabulous! We really were warm and cozy in our igloo ice room! Such a unique and memorable experience!"

- "Beautiful location, stylish rooms and excellent staff. The fine dining restaurant and its tasting menu was terrific. So was the food in the Lavvu restaurant although I hope they expand the menu to include more choices in the future. Breakfast was buffet and plentiful. We stayed a night at the Ice Hotel which was a fun experience. We also went on two excursions with them which we enjoyed. I write for the blog Paradox Travels and will do an extended review there. So if interested, look us up and read a more extensive review with photos there in the upcoming month. "

Levi and his father were both so welcoming and happy to assist with any needs we had. We had a rental car which made getting to and from town very easy (about 10 to 15 min drive). Very close to Holmen Husky and Glod explorer, which bith had many outdoor activities to partake in. We did the sleigh ride and dinner one night and had a wonderful time with the owner. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a winter adventure!"
