@GiorgiaPa "out of service" means it cannot be used. This can be used in the case of things like vending machines or rooms or systems. It can also refer to temporary breaks in service in the case of buses etc.
"out of order" usually means the item is broken. It can also refer to machines and things such as toilets but I don't think I've seen it used for a room or building unless the building or room is in such a state of disrepair that a major reconstruction is necessary.
