This property is gorgeous, the location is breathtaking. My room was clean, quiet, and well-appointed. The beds were excellent. The on-site limited-seating dinner was a really personal touch. I will absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable and clean - basic but we got a good nights sleep. Had everything you need and breakfast was good too. The newer building would have been better, but the older one was all that was available. Not bad though, just average.

Loved the quaintness of this property: quiet, lovely cafe for dinner, and the views!! The lounge area was where we spent most of our time reading and looking out the window. The views are absolutely beautiful, you can see the glacier and the cutest family of sheep were just chilling on the front lawn of the property and behind the cafe. It was such a relaxing stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Be careful when booking this. They have 2 buildings but show images of both properties when booking, so you think you are booking in the newer building. One building is extremely poor quality and old. Room smell was incredibly bad. Staff is unprofessional. I would recommend you stay away from this property. I would compare to a $30 motel.

I spent 4 nights and did a lot of sightseeing. It’s very convenient to Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Höfn Harbor, Ring Road, etc. It was overcast during my stay but I did manage to see some Aurora action. Very faint but that wasn’t a minus. Weather happens! I spent a day at Ósland, which is a manmade land bridge along Höfn Harbor. What a great place for bird watching! The room was spacious and included a desk and a full shower. There was a hair dryer in the room. The Breakfast was outstanding. They also have an on-site Restaurant, which served excellent area cuisine. I had dinner there twice: the Meat Soup and the Lobster Sandwich. Excellent! The Staff was very personable and very friendly. I felt very spoiled staying at Lilja. Great place!

Small, but clean room. Hallways had faint sulfur smell after raining, but the room in the non-renovated building was clean and kept well. Property was overall OK- nothing specifically wrong with the room, but atmosphere was a little less cozy than other places. Room was comfortable, though, so if you’re looking for a decent stay, would recommend.
