Been given orders vs under orders

How would you correctly say this please?

1 I've been given strict order not let anyone who doesn't have a reservation in.
2 I'm under strict orders not to let anyone who doesn't have a reservation in.

Thank you

I've been given strict order not to let anyone in without a reservation. If you can convey the same meaning without using a clause, don't!
