The rooms annex is beautiful, modern. The check in area and restaurant are clearly the original property. The setting is lovely, with a Mountain View. Our room was facing the parking area and some old equipment so not much to look at. There were 2 adorable sheep hanging around that were very friendly and excitable. We enjoyed the included breakfast buffet, which also had 3 to-order options. Excellent location if driving Ring Road or visiting Hofn.

The confirmation email says to inform the property if arriving after 8pm, but it turned out to be unnecessary. The reception is in the restaurant building right next to the room building, and it opens till 9:30pm. The room is clean, but has no mini fridge nor packs of coffee or tea. There is a thermo with coffee in the “lobby” area but has no stir. We were at the end unit, there was a constant dripping noise from the exterior wall through the night. My husband finally had enough and got up to see what that was. He came back laughing. There was a goat lying by the exit glass door, he was panting and the horn kept bumping the door making that noise. The glacier view was nice. Too bad in the morning, the fog/cloud covered it up.

This place is a hidden treasure! We booked because we were looking for an affordable place not far from the glacier lagoon. Price was great, and we had a truly breathtaking view of a glacier from our room and lots of cute sheep in the fields nearby. One of the most beautiful places we stayed in Iceland. Buffet style breakfast was included (with more stunning views from the restaurant area). They have a restaurant and bar on site but we went into Höfn for dinner, about 20 minutes away by car, and hotel staff provided us with excellent recommendations.

The room was lovely but let down by the reception/ breakfast area. Very dull and un inviting . Staff were very unhelpful , my partner wasn’t well & they didn’t offer any support. On arrival they weren’t very friendly . No yogurt available at breakfast . If the room hadn’t been nice we wouldn’t have stayed .

Lilja Guesthouse is such a great value for what you pay. The complimentary breakfast is very nice, and the dinner I had (avocado burger) was delicious. The rooms are spacious for what you pay, and are very clean. The property is very contemporary and minimalistic, which is very nice to see, with automatic doors so you don’t have to struggle when bringing luggage in. It’s situated right off the main road, but very quiet and calm. The wildlife surrounds the property and we were even able to see a sweet herd of sheep just laying out early morning next to the hotel. Friendly staff and wonderful experience overall. Would stay again.

Loved this place. When we come back to Iceland we will definitely be staying here. Peaceful and relaxing. Good food too. Sweet and helpful staff. Also definitely worth the extra to get the room with the views because we were able to see the northern lights from our window.

We selected this location to view the northern lights, unfortunately it was a cloudy day and unable view. Breakfast was included in the rate and it was surprisingly good
