Why aparthotels & serviced apartments, why here
Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Akureyri offer the practical comfort of home—with a hotel-style setup—ideal for travellers who want independence without losing the convenience of an established base in town. Akureyri itself is compact and walkable for day-to-day sightseeing, with landmark areas such as the historic Old Town, where preserved streets and heritage buildings reflect the town’s early life (visitakureyri.is; northiceland.is). For a more central “events and energy” feel, staying near Hof Cultural and Conference Centre places you close to a major year-round hub for performances, conferences and exhibitions (mak.is; visitakureyri.is).
Choose a serviced apartment when you’re planning longer stays, travelling as a family or small group, or you simply prefer to self-cater between excursions. These options typically suit guests who want separate living space and kitchen facilities for breakfast, light meals or storing groceries after a hike. In winter, that flexibility is especially valuable when conditions change quickly—while many apartments remain convenient for getting to the town’s key sights.
With that in mind, popular areas to look at include: the Old Town for character and heritage ambience, the central waterfront/downtown corridor for easy access to amenities, and Midtown by the Botanical Garden for calm, greener surroundings (visitakureyri.is; visitakureyri.is). Examples from our bookable inventory include Nordurgata 43 (2★) for a quieter, near-centre base and Old Town Modern Apartment (3★) for a more character-focused stay.
