Fint utgangspunkt for naturopplevelser

Et hyggelig opphold i forbindelse med en bursdagsfeiring. Rommet var disponibelt straks vi ankom Gargia Lodge. Etter innsjekk gikk turen til Alta Canyon. Etter turen spiste vi deilig middag i restauranten. Alle ansatte var hyggelige og hjelpsomme, og vi kommer garantert tilbake ved en senere anledning.

Unik opplevelse midt i skogen.

En unik opplevelse midt i skogen. Flott rom med god plass. Ekstra flott at vi kunne bestemme selv når vi ville ha frokosten. God service. Var ikke tv på rommet men det savnet jeg egentlig ikke.

Fin opplevelse.

Det luktet ubestemmelig i gangen utenfor rommet, som etter en vannskade med mugg. Ellers var alt flott og meget imøtekommende personale.

Et herlig sted for turister.

Nå var det ikke Guri som var der. Hun bestilte for meg. Men oppholdet var greit. Dette er jo et sted for turister, og jeg er forretningsmann på jobb - uten mulig rom å oppdrive på hotellene i Alta. Ett nattbord gjorde derfor tjeneste som skrivepult for PC-en. Alt går. Men maten var god, og servicen upåklagelig. Anbefales som feriested - men ikke som den som må arbeide bak en PC på sine reiser.

Rolig, avsides og flott fjellstue.

Kjempe koselig og rolig sted, med hyggelig betjening. Følte meg hjemme. Rent og fint, og god mat husmannskost. 3 mil unna Alta sentrum så ble taxi opp en dyr kostnad, men tjente den igjen da jeg reiste med skolebuss ned til Alta dagen etter. Kan absolutt anbefales for dem som har bil, og også vil oppleve Nordlyset.

The most important thing is the staff all are very friendly and helpful on our need for 3 days there, definitely will come back again for my future trip.
