Hólabrekka Hólabrekka, 781 Höfn, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for Lilja Guesthouse – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

If you're close to Höfn this place is highly recommended. The staff was very nice and let us have dinner even though we arrived late in the evening. The rooms are small but very clean and comfy. The location is great, it's Iceland after all. The breakfast was fine, not amazing but quite nice.

André, Portugal

It had such a friendly atmosphere, the facilities were very new and modern and the breakfast was very good. EXCELLENT shower!!

Jennifer_, United States of America

Lovely place, clean and confortable. The staff was really nice and friendly.

Maureen, Ireland

I was expecting to have a wow effect when I arrived in the room since I saw the pictures online and they convinced me to book this guesthouse. And indeed: the view from the room is amazing. We were lucky to have a bright day so the view of the glacier was better than we hoped for. Good sleep quality, very quiet, good breakfast and polite staff. I was not disappointed of our choice.

Mihaela, Romania

Really nice place, clean and new. A little bit "cold" I mean not cozy, not home feeling, too modern style. It was second place we stayed in Iceland, and comparing to the first one 5+, I would rate this 4.5. Still very good.

Nina, Canada

The food was the best food we had on our entire vacation. The staff was very nice and made checking in and out super easy and assessable.

Abbey, United States of America

one of the best complimentary breakfast. Caviar and hummus spread with perfect bread. Fresh fruits, nice coffee, meat selection was really amazing. everyday a different kind of home made mixed juice. Staff was super helpful and friendly. great glacier-facing view. room was very clean

Siliang, United States of America

Beautiful facilities, owner at location very friendly and helpful.

Denise, United States of America

Location was great, bed was comfortable and clean, we stayed there day before our ice cave tour, we saw aurora right at the parking lot. Food and service was perfect, we really liked it.

Everytime we sat on the toilet it sounded like it could break any second xD, it was a bit scary. Value for money was not balanced and we've had better breakfast at (a lot) cheaper hotels.
The view was amazing. The rooms were nice and bright with high ceilings. The cute doggy.

“The staff was friendly, ut the whole place felt unfinished.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Triple Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The room was unfinished - the bathroom lacked a shower curtain of any kind, and the door hinge was pulling out of the wall, causing loud squeaking whenever it was opened. No TV. It is a 25 minute drive into Hofn from the guesthouse.
The breakfast was fine. The room was very clean, and an adequate size for 3 adults. The guesthouse is in the countryside, with nice views all around.

The shower area is not fully covered causing water drainage.
The breakfast is included in the price. Some rooms with a view of glaciers which is lovely. The area around the place where you can walk in the early morning with a nice view.

Compared with similarly priced hotels, the rooms were extremely basic. No décor whatsoever, no TV, just 4 walls and the beds. Does the job, but has a poor price ratio.
The staff was efficient and the rooms were clean. The breakfast was good, with a nice spread. It is close to the nearby village of Hofn, which has great and affordable options for a meal — recommend the pizzeria.

Nothing to be honest, good deal really.
Remote but beautiful location made it easy to study sky at night and see Northern Lights if they are around. Good facilities, nice staff, nice food. Handy for lots of tourist sites too.

When you stay longer in the bathroom the lights go off (they have sensor-based lighting control) and it's a little annoying sometimes.
All the staff was really nice, the place was beautiful, the architecture, the details, everything. We had the best breakfast in Iceland here ( tried 5 other places) and when we arrived we also had a delicious dinner along with some icelandic beers. We saw the northern lights and we loved the biiiig windows with the amazing view of the glacier.
