Hótel Örk — Hotel in Hveragerðisbær

If you are thirsting for a trip back to the 70's at a place that is unmaintained partially clean with casually poor service. This one is for you. They seem to have spent a lot of money and effort on the foyer and their logo's but forgot they are a hotel and not a stable. Prepare to have the mood set after your shower with the entire room turns into dog pee aroma therapy, and the ensuing hunt for the odour. The music is full volume till 2am and be sure the windows will not block a single note. Some good window side fights in the car park below. While drunk people yell and honk their horns to lull you to sleep. Making a call to the front desk is a Russian roulette sort of thing where if they answer and that is a definite IF, you will wish they hadn't, because they definitely cannot be bothered to help. They also have some lovely dungeon rooms in the basement for the particularly unlucky guests. Luckily we were on the top floor so we took the cadaver sized elevator with its suitcase faded carpet up and as we entered the room we wished we hadn't. Wifi seems to be on every single bus and corner in Iceland, yet this hotel seems to only have what feels like 1996 dial up in the reception. The rooms have ornamental wifi, as in the signal is there, if you stand on one leg and swing your phone from the charging cord above your head at the correct frequency, and if you do ever connect, network error is their specialty service. The best thing about this place was leaving it and going to an incredible local greenhouse eatery around the corner. I do not know why Icelandair work with these people but they should definitely reconsider as every other hotel we stayed at was top notch. Just avoid this place if you...

Horrible and Scary experience ! We were woken up by a stranger a 3.50am Breaking into our room and Standing in front of our bed while we were asleep !! The room was properly locked and cannot be opened unless you have the card key! We had to barricade the room with a sofa for the rest of the night (sleepless). Called immediatly reception to warn them of this stranger breaking into rooms, and they did not bother doing anything ! ("we will have maintenance looking at the door lock it in the morning"), not even checking the logs of entrances into that room, of the security cameras, and why this is even possible (why give a stranger an access card that can open our room?) . Complete lack of response from the hotel, do not care at all about your security (I told them where the stranger ran out and the next room he entered into, they said they eventually "listened to this door but there was no response so they walked away.."). If you intend to stay at this hotel, make sure you BARRICADE the room door with heavy sofa and desk, and that you keep q DEFENSIVE object to defend yourself close to your bed, for your own protection. Needless to say this was a completely sleepless night and my partner is still very shaken by the experience. Thankfully the stranger was unarmed and we were able to kick him out of the room. I am still wondering if the most shocking was being woken up by a stranger standing in front of our bed, or the complete lack of professionalism from the hotel. ("Sorry we have no protocol for this, so I don't know what to do") Would recommend picking ANY other hotel, it's not worth putting your...
