Hotel Orkin is a modern hotel with emphasis on cleanliness and comfortable atmosphere. The hotel is centrally located in Reykjavik. We are in 15-20 min walking distance from the old center and 10. min. away from the new center.
public transportation is available just across the street and the Flybus service from Leif Erikson international airport in Keflavik stops at our reception if requsted.
Several museums and galleries are located nearby. The Laugardalur Sport Center with open air swimmingpool, the Reykjavik Botanic Gardens and the Zoo is within easy reach.
The hotel has 20 double rooms where 10 of them are four bedded rooms. All of the rooms are provided with private facilitets (wc, sink and shower), telephone and television.
The Faroese people have special connection to the Seemans home. It takes only one hour to fly from Faroe Iceland to Iceland and sailing with the new ferry takes 16 hours to Seydisfjordur on the east coast.
