Lilja Guesthouse

This was a more affordable property with huge bedrooms, vaulted ceilings and giant bathrooms which were great for 3 of us in one room. Easy to find right off the highway and has a small bar and dinner available which was great.

Rooms had very little decor, bare minimum with lamps and nothing on the walls. Water was geothermal and had a strong sulfur odor to it and breakfast was pretty slim pickings but did include some fresh fruit and normal euro offerings.

The room was nice and modern, very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. This is one of two areas where my hot spot from Trawire didn't work (odd since it's just 20 minutes from Hofn), but the WiFi at Lilja was good. My room was in the main building where reception is.

I arrived after it got dark and it was hard to tell where to go. I entered the wrong building, then found the right building and was able to check in. The area with the rooms are not connected to the reception area where breakfast is served, so no matter which building you're in, you have to walk outside to get to reception/breakfast. The room door was also a bit difficult to get open, the lock and the door weren't aligned well. I had to pull hard on the door while unlocking it in order to have it open.
