Lilja Guesthouse

this one-day stay was the best among 11 nights in Iceland. The rooms were generous and well set-up. the staff were helpful and knowledgable. and the meal was also the best among 11 evening meals, voted so by this discerning group of 4. the food was cooked to order, the portions generous and the flavors were fabulous. We were all pleased, which is a feat in itself. THANK YOU!

The Lilja Guesthouse staff was welcoming and hotel was generally clean. Pro tip: ask for a room facing away from the parking lot. Since all of the rooms are on the ground floor, car headlights and people coming/going will be able to see right in, as there are only room-darkening curtains (no sheer curtains). The amenities were lacking from the perspective of one used to staying at hotels in the United States of America--read on.||Bedroom: 2 standard pillows, 2 split duvets, 2 electrical outlets near bed, 2 bedside tables, 1 desk, 1 chair, 1 desk lamp (bulb was missing), open closet with built-in suitcase stand, no screens, no sheer curtains, room-darkening curtains, no safe.||Bathroom: No counter space, step-in shower, no hair dryer, no shower cap, no tissues, body wash/shampoo combination in the shower and by the sink, no bar soap, 2 mugs (useful for filling reusable water bottles at the tap), 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, no wash cloths, 1 bath mat, 1 hand towel hook near sink, 1 towel warmer across from shower, no vent fan in bathroom. Oddly, the light was motion sensor activated, so you couldn't use the bathroom at night without it coming on||Technology: 1 TV (with Netflix, YouTube, etc. login capability), adequate wifi.||Miscellaneous: Free parking (in lot), no fitness facility, dining room (breakfast included).

We had a wonderful stay at this guest house. Definitely a step above your typical four star and just shy of perfect. The rooms were clean, sleek, modern, and very comfortable, with a hot, strong shower. It was much appreciated after a long day of exploring.|Breakfast was a highlight with a great variety of options in good quality. Be sure to request a room in the new house for the best experience as it had glacier views. |The staff was friendly and helpful, and the check-in/check out process was smooth and efficient. All in all a great place to stay and when we’d happily return to!

We were given a standard room for three nights in the old house, which we called a barrack, because "guesthouse" is definitely not the right word. The rooms are very small and offer nothing more than a bed and a nightstand. They were recently renovated, but the interior is very plain. There was no closet for clothes and it was too small to leave a suitcase open. The bathroom was so tiny you could barely turn around. Toilet paper holders were falling off the walls, and the light fixture was falling from the ceiling. The staff is friendly, but the breakfast was very basic. There's a new building, and the rooms look better, but unfortunately, there wasn't room for us. Remember: Don't book a standard room. You'll regret it.

We stayed there for a night. I evaluate it low as compared to the price, the service and quality was low, otherwise the place was clean and has the basics. I paid ~232, and with half of this we have received better quality and services. The room was big enough for a night but the it smelled of strong bleach when we entered. I guess we were unlucky that the heater was not working and after we told the staff they brought an electric heater. The staff were polite. The breakfast was also very basics. The restaurant has a nice view though.

We stayed 1 night at Lilja Guesthouse. The rooms were clean and modern. The breakfast was simple. Im a little disappointed about the wifi because even though it is available, our phones could barely connect online. Parking is available right outside where we stayed. A simple but clean guesthouse, perfect for a night.

Lovely stay at this guesthouse in the middle of green fields with sheep and a great view on the gletsjer. Breakfast was quite simple (no warm dishes for example) but you have everything you need. Check-in and check-out went smoothly, staff is very kind! There is a restaurant where you can have dinner as well, however we haven't tried that as we already made dinner plans somewhere else. Good place to stay when you're travelling to the Eastern Fjords!

We stayed for one night, our experience was really nice. We had driven all day so we basically went straight to bed when we arrived and left pretty much right after breakfast. The check in and check out went smoothly and the staff was really friendly. We arrived a bit late but we were still met very nicely by the staff. |The breakfast was very good with different dietary options and fresh fruits. We could hear someone playing music loudly in their room in the evening, but it wasn't too disturbing. The sound isolation wasn't brilliant but it didn't bother us.
