Black Pearl

Lovely accommodation and in a great location. We had a one bed apartment with a balcony - kitchen area well equipped and with dining area. Comfortable lounge area. Location was perfect - close to shops and restaurants and pick-up point for excursions. Harbour is 2 minutes walk and has boats offering whale watching trips.

We loved staying at Black Pearl Luxury Apartments during our week in Iceland. It was great to have use of a full apartment. The staff were very nice and helpful. They helped us when we had an issue with our flights/airport transportation. Location is very close to a bus stop so it is easy to go on tours from any of the tour companies. There is a great bakery right next to it, and it was good to grab a yummy breakfast sandwich each morning on our way to the bus stop for a tour. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

After staying in cozy hotel rooms, it was a luxury to walk into our apartment at the Black Pearl. It was spacious and fully equipped, with high-tech lighting that delighted us. The bed was quite comfortable, and the entire apartment was lovely. The location is great,with numerous restaurants and shops nearby. We had a couple issues with the staff: the cleaner left the door ajar, so that anyone with access to the building could have stolen our stuff; and after my husband mistook the checkout for noon rather than 11am, the receptionist told us at 11:25 that we would be charged an additional €250 for a noon departure. We scampered out of there quickly and avoided the additional charge, which seemed quite excessive.

We stayed at the Black Pear for the very first time in August. We took their two bedroom apartment. The stay was lovely. This one had its own elevator in terms of the floor it stops on just had our room. The daily breakfast which has an additional charge was wonderful. This room has extraordinary views and the apartment was beautiful with modern appliances and everything you could want. Location was perfect as well. The staff was professional and very responsive in all ways.||This is our third stay in this city prior to a cruise since 2021 and on our next visit we will return here again.

Top class hotel with extraordinary service. German was fully attentive to every detail we needed. We had a nice kitchen and room, and it was convenient to walk to restaurants, we loved it. I would prefer to keep the climate cooler, and it was difficult to cool the apartment below 20 without opening a window.

Iceland October 2025 A Jewel in the Crown of Reykjavík One does not simply arrive at The Black Pearl; one is received. Our arrival, admittedly ahead of schedule, was met not with the customary bureaucratic humdrum, but with a welcome revelation: our sanctuary was prepared. A novel concept, and one we found utterly refreshing. The charming individual who presided over our check-in performed the entire affair with such effortless grace that it felt less like a transaction and more like an induction. She personally escorted us to our quarters, demonstrating the rather theatrical lighting system—a welcome change from the usual fumbling for switches in an unfamiliar room—and with a final, warm welcome, left us to our devices. And what devices they were. The apartment was a masterclass in understated Nordic luxury. A haven perfectly appointed for my Queen to repose after a day of royal progress through the streets of Reykjavík. The location is, in a word, impeccable, placing the entire city at one’s well-shod feet. The amenities spoke of a establishment that understands its clientele. Heated floors throughout—a divine indulgence against the Icelandic air. A kitchen boasting a proper gas stove and a full complement of tools, should one feel inclined to whip up a feast. The refrigerator, we noted, was temptingly stocked with wine, spirits, and decadent chocolates—all available for a princely sum, as is only right. One must maintain a sense of occasion. The bathroom deserves its own dispatch. A zero-threshold shower of such generous proportions it could comfortably host a small cocktail party for four. All, I must reiterate, atop gloriously heated marble. We found the living area a perfect balance of comfort and technology, with a formidable 48-inch television facing a suitably modest sofa. The true pièce de résistance, however, was the wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, leading to a spacious balcony from which to observe the world, champagne flute in hand. Checkout was without fanfare. People working the desk did not exude the same level of care as the woman that welcomed us in. In summary, The Black Pearl is that rarest of finds: a hotel that is both supremely sophisticated and intuitively comfortable. It is, without a doubt, the only address we shall consider upon our next visit to Reykjavík. Highly recommended.

The Black Pearl offered the perfect place to stay for our visit to Reykjavik. Our experience booking the room was seamless. They responded promptly to inquiries before we arrived re luggage storage since most flights from the US arrive early in the morning before rooms are ready. Our room was very spacious, clean, well equipped, and comfortable. We were extremely pleased with how quiet the room was. The hotel is close to everything, with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. However, we never heard any noise at night. The front desk staff could not have been more helpful. One of our group fell on a tour and broke her rib. They were able to get her a cab to the hospital to get checked out and then directed her to a nearby pharmacy to have her prescriptions filled. The hotel is an excellent choice and provided very good value.

Loved the space and comfort of our 5th floor apartment, particularly the direct lift access. Comfortable bed, quality linens and towels. Appreciated the daily service of the room and very helpful check in process. The personal information and tour at check in helped us navigate the apartment electronics. Kitchen was well stocked with kitchen utensils which allowed cooking of meals. Would loved to have stayed longer the 3 nights.
