Our story
The history of Hotel Ørkin goes way back to 18th April 1958 when the Faroese seamen’s home formally opened down by the main harbour in Reykjavik. At that time it was a seamen’s home for Faroese sailors that were fishing in the seas around Iceland. The living accommodations aboard the boats were not as good as they are now. So it was good to come ashore and stay at the seamen’s, have a cup of coffee, homemade bread, read the latest Faroese newspapers and rest before going out to sea again. For these sailors, the seamen’s home was a home away from home and now nearly sixty years later it still is for the Faroese people who travel to Iceland for business or leisure. The current facility Hotel Ørkin (The Hotel Ark) was built in 1991 and has been renovated many times since then.
The Hotel (seamen’s home Ørkin) is own and operated by the Faroese Seamen´s mission which is a Christian based mission in the Faroese Islands.
Today we try to keep the same homely atmosphere in the Hotel, bake fresh bread with breakfast and there is always free coffee and tea available during the day with freshly baked cakes in the afternoons for guest and visitors and of course, the Faroese newspapers and magazines are available.
The Hotel Ørkin own by a Non-Profit Organisation established by the Faroese Seamen Mission
