Pros:

Sehr nettes Hotel mit ausgesprochen freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal an der Rezeption. Wir hatten ein Vierbettzimmer gebucht, das mehr als ausreichend Platz bot. Das Frühstück war einfach, aber völlig ausreichend und bot alles, was man für einen guten Start in den Tag braucht. Für die ansonsten hohen Preise in Island ist das Hotel Orkin ein echtes Schnäppchen! Tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis – absolut empfehlenswert!

Cons:

...evtl. nicht viel jedoch muss man damit rechnen dass evtl Schulklassen im Hotel sind, damit kann es ein bisschen lauter zu gehen...

Cons:

Innbrot í bílinn á stæði hótelsins og rænt úr honum verðmætum. Miklar líkur að lykill sem var á herberginu að bílnum hafi verið notaður.

Pros:

Kényelmes ágyak, a reggeli bőséges és változatos, könnyű volt a ki- és bejelentkezés. Tökéletes kiindulás felfedezni a várost.

The free breakfast was quite good; a variety of food.
The free cake and hot drinks every night is a bonus as well.

The bathroom had a slight sulfur odour.

Era bueno. Básico.
