Clean, warm rooms with spacious breakfast area. Close to restaurants, including Ruby Tuesday, a favorite. Hot water may have a smell but cold glacier water from tap is brilliant. Cake and coffee in the afternoon is a welcome bonus.
Felt most welcome, nothing was too much trouble.

The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. the hotel had a comfortable common area.
The room was old and had water stains on the ceiling. the plumbing was loud and there was a strange smell outside the window.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the lively town center, making it easy for friends who enjoy going out at night to explore. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including eggs, meats, cheese, cereals. The blackout curtains in the room ensured a good night's sleep, despite the midnight sun during June. The hotel also had a comfortable and well-lit lounge, perfect for afternoon tea and cakes.
The hotel felt very secure and the staff were always willing to assist, making our stay hassle-free.

We had an enjoyable stay in a great location with plenty of restaurants nearby and just a short walk to the city centre or down towards the harbour. The staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful, offering us tea and coffee throughout the day and cake which was a fantastic treat. The room was clean, cosy and had comfortable beds with a nice breakfast selection available each morning.
The hotel could benefit from some updates in terms of decor and furnishings to match the price paid.

I recently stayed at Hotel Orkin in Reykjavik for a weekend getaway with my friends. The value for money was excellent, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a small but included breakfast. The location was perfect, close to the harbor but quiet at night. The staff gave us a genuine, warm Icelandic welcome, which made us feel right at home. We even discovered a microbrewery right next to the hotel! we were very happy with our stay at Orkin.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. We particularly loved the complimentary tea, coffee, and cake in the afternoon, which created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. the breakfast offered a nice variety of options and provided a good start to the day. Additionally, having a 24-hour reception was convenient, especially when arriving late at night.
The room we stayed in was described as a loft, but it turned out to be quite small and impractical. the lack of space made it difficult to navigate with our suitcases, and it would have been better if the description had been more accurate.

The hotel room was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. I really appreciated the 24-hour reception as I arrived late at night and was able to check in without any issues. The breakfast spread was delicious and had a nice variety of options to choose from. I had a great experience at Hotel Orkin and would highly recommend it.

Friendly staff, free parking, and convenient location just 10 minutes from the center of the city. Breakfast had a decent selection, but could use more variety in the sweets department. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for families with older children. Nice touch with the available coffee and tea in the evening. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel exceeded our expectations in many ways. Firstly, the value for money was excellent. We found the prices to be very reasonable compared to other accommodations in the area. Secondly, the attention to detail was evident throughout our stay. From the clean and cozy rooms with a lovely mountain view, to the basic amenities provided, everything was thoughtfully arranged. Lastly, the location was ideal. We were within walking distance of the city center, with plenty of restaurants nearby.
All was okay, nothing to complain about.

Hotel Orkin is a fully functional budget hotel conveniently located near the city center. The comfortable and clean rooms provide a safe place to rest after a long day of exploring. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering free coffee, tea, and cake throughout the day. The breakfast is satisfying with a variety of hams, cheese, fresh rolls, and hot and cold drinks. The communal area is a great space to socialize with fellow travelers. The hotel is also close to several good Thai restaurants, including a vegan option.
Some guests have mentioned that the room amenities are basic and there aren't many facilities such as a kettle or toiletries provided in the rooms.

Great location, helpful staff, and clean rooms. The breakfast was a bit plain, but the fresh bread and juice options were good. I appreciated the free parking and polite customer service. Even though I faced a minor problem with the shower, it was quickly fixed, and I had a pleasant stay. I'd recommend this hotel.

The staff was very kind and informative, helping us to book a trip to a nearby attraction. The hotel has a friendly vibe and offers free homemade cake and hot drinks in the afternoon. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was good and had a cozy ambiance with twinkling candles.
Nothing to complain about at all.
