Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Simply great

Nice, modern, clean hotel. Supereasy check-in and check-out. Great views! Just 2 small issues: Breakfast is listed on the web from 7:30 but is served from 7:00. And the proper hotel breakfast must contain scrambled eggs!
