The 3-star hotel Hotel Örkin offers Reykjavik accommodation in the neighbourhood of Holt, within ten minutes’ walk of the Kjarvalsstaðir Reykjavik Art Museum and the central Laugavegur shopping street. Built on the site of a former Faroese sailors residence, this hotel offers free parking and is about 50 minutes’ drive away from the Keflavík International Airport. The simple rooms come with a flat-screen TV, seating, free Wi-Fi, a telephone and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Faroese newspapers and magazines are available, in addition to an internet terminal, a TV lounge and other communal areas. Breakfasts including freshly-baked breads are served daily, while complimentary cakes, tea and coffee are available throughout the day. Hotel Örkin is located about a five-minute drive away from the famous Hallgrimskirkja Church and the Kringlan Mall.
Guests were very pleased to find that they had complimentary tea, coffee and cake available around the clock, while the breakfasts were also popular for their apparently wide selection of simple, but tasty fare. Furthermore, the staff was said to be very helpful with things like organising day trips and providing local information.
Örkin was said to provide good basic value for money, with people reportedly finding simple, but clean, comfortable rooms and reception service at all hours. For this reason, it was said to be great for those on a budget, or just stopping over.
According to reviews, there are some nice communal facilities on offer here, including a games room and English-language TV, as well as a relaxed atmosphere throughout. For these reasons those travelling with families found it very pleasant.
The Wi-Fi was not thought to be good in the bedrooms at Örkin — but fine in common areas — and some considered the rooms a bit small or and a little on the dated side, but people said that they expected this for the price. Furthermore, a few of those who stayed said it was not exactly in the centre of Reykjavik, but mentioned that it did not take long to walk downtown to the city's main attractions.
