Nice Place!
Hotel Orkin was lovely. Our room was bigger than expected, which was unexpected and honestly very nice. The tv in the room allowed us to all watch a movie together in the evening, which was all we wanted to do after a long day of traveling. The breakfast was also very pleasant. Overall, I would recommend staying here.

For a family of 5 this was a reasonably priced hotel for Reykjavik. The room was small but everyone had their own bed and it was fine for a one night stay. The breakfast was included and was great, lots of choice. The parking was onsite, free and easy. The town was in walking distance, took about 15 - 20 minutes to reach.

This hotel is good if you need a quick cheap stay but the rooms were small, hair all over the bed and the bathroom floor was dirty, not sure if cleaned. There are better hotels for a good price! But this hotel did its job with my 4 days here, would not come back tho.

Quaint spot in Reykjavik
We stayed at the apartment within Hotel Orkin..it was an absolutely lovely stay! The staff were beyond helpful, kind, and welcoming. Location was great - easily walkable and within close proximity of main attractions. The apartment was a lovely, comfortable space - we hope to visit again in the spring/summer amd will definitely look to stay again at Hotel Orkin.
