K16 Apartments

The K16 Apartments are a lovely set of one-bedroom suites in the town of Akureyri in North Iceland. Couples, solo travelers, and groups of friends looking for self-catering accommodation with private bathrooms and free WiFi while traveling through this beautiful region should book while availability lasts.

Location & Nearby

Located in downtown Akureyri, the K16 Apartments are perfectly positioned for travelers looking to get to know the capital of North Iceland. This settlement is the largest in the country outside of Reykjavik. The suites are directly outside the spectacular church of Akureyrarkirkja and less than a thousand feet (280 meters) from the local harbor, which boasts incredible views of the fjord of Eyjafjordur and a range of boat tours.

The most popular of these are the whale-watching excursions, which mostly boast 100 percent success ratings in terms of sightings in summer. Humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises are most commonly spotted, and from May to September, you can also witness Atlantic puffins.

Around the K16 Apartments are grocery stores, restaurants, bars, cafes, tour information, and some fascinating museums and galleries. Furthermore, tour operators can pick you up for nature excursions with ease to take you on trips such as river rafting, horseback riding, sightseeing, and skiing.

Those renting a car can easily visit the natural attractions in North Iceland from the K16 Apartments. Most of these are on the Diamond Circle sightseeing route, the region’s most popular tourist trail. Godafoss waterfall is a spectacular feature steeped in history and only 21.5 miles (34.5 kilometers) away. Driving 49 miles (79 kilometers) will take you to the Lake Myvatn region, where you can discover geological marvels, geothermal areas, and abundant flora and fauna.

The most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss, which thunders into a dramatic canyon, is 94 miles (151 kilometers) away, while the awe-inspiring canyon of Asbyrgi is 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) further.

Other sites in North Iceland include the relaxing Bjobodin Beer Spa and the far-flung village of Siglufjordur, which are 22 miles (35.5 kilometers) and 48.5 miles (78 kilometers) away. The K16 Apartments are close to the ring road, making them an excellent stop for those traveling around Iceland.

Facilities & Amenities

Each of the K16 apartments has a bedroom, living room, a kitchenette, a dining area, and a private bathroom with a shower. They accommodate three, although they are more suited to couples seeking a home away from home. The style is chic and modern, with wooden floors and furnishings, with art across the walls.

WiFi and parking are free, and all accommodations are fitted with flat-screen televisions. On-site, you can rent ski equipment and ski passes to the slopes at Hlidarfjall, a popular activity from Akureyri in winter and spring.
