We were very impressed with our interaction with staff even before we arrived. They were able to book our round trip transporation from the airport and stored our luggage upon arrival early in the morning. Thoughtful touches, like luggage in the apartment waiting for you when you walk in. I was very impressed that you were personally escorted in and shown around the apartment. The location is perfect. It's only a ten to twenty minute walk to everything. We will certainly stay here on our next visit.

This was our second stay, our first stay was in May 2025. We stayed in the economy room and we loved it. This time we stayed in the deluxe room and it was more worn down. We had some issues with the sofa bed, that housekeeping resolved. We also had an issue with the wash machine and dryer. It left our clothes smelling bad unless we dried them to a crisp. They tried to remedy it by putting vinegar for a cycle, but I think it needed to be totally deep cleaned with bleach. Maybe something was wrong like mold was in the drum? There was some staining on the chairs and the fabric blinds that were pretty noticeable. There was also duck tape of the balcony joints, which was a little scary. The door that was supposed to close from the elevator lock wasn't working. The staff wasn't the most welcoming. One of the reasons that we wanted to stay there again was because the staff was great the first time. But it seemed like they were frazzled this time and continuously mentioned how booked they were for the holidays. On the plus side the view was great and the hotel is close to everything.

Great location. Easy walk to bus stop 4 and the harbour.
Easy to get into and good size. We had a standard and asked them to make up the sofa bed. The apartment was cleaned every day and was warm. Tea and coffee provided. The only downside was how dark it was - we really struggled with the 150 light on/off buttons. The bedroom was also a bit noisy on the roadside.

This was an ideal place to stay. It was great to have a full apartment to use during our week in Iceland. The staff was very nice and helped us when we had issues regarding our flight and airport transportation. Location is near a bus stop so it was easy to get to where we needed to for tours. There is a scrumptious bakery next door. Make sure you get a donut or breakfast sandwich there.

When I was searching for lodging in Reykjavik, this hotel stood out as being unusually nice. As we arrived, the staff were very friendly, helpful and stored our luggage since we arrived in the morning. The units were spotless, spacious, very modern and included kitchen amenities that we loved. We were within quick walking distance to the picturesque harbor, museums and restaurants. We were also within easy walking distance of Harpa, Sun Voyager and the fun shopping and restaurants that everyone says you should see. When it was time for us to leave, the staff ordered taxis the day before to make sure we could easily get to the cruise port. This stay could not have better!

The room itself was great. The service provided by one person at the front desk was below par. Not helpful and very poor communication about the possibility of an early check-in on the day we arrived. Had requested early check-in by email a week prior and requested again upon arriving early in the morning. Of course I understand if there is another guest staying that morning. That is not a problem. We were given no indication about timing of cleaning staff and were simply told it was anytime up to 3:00 pm. There was no service provided above and beyond in this regard, as there was no attempt to lift a finger to help us. I was very disappointed by this one person. Everyone else was great, and helped to preserve a 4 out of 5 rating for us.

They have everything that a well equipped apartment would have. Best part for you coffee fans like me: plenty of coffee! There’s a push button machine in the reception lobby and an originaline nespresso machine in the room with endless pods. We are big coffee drinkers so it was great. Would stay here every time!

The room was noisy. No AC. Not a 5 star property. No pool, no gym. No restaurant on property. It is just an apartment. We asked to make the sofa bed and was told it is 250 pounds per night. We asked for late check out by an hour and told it would cost 250 pounds. It is also far from downtown. For tours to pick up from nearby bus stop 4 the companies charge extra.

Highly recommend The Black Pearl for so many reasons. This was one of the few places that would work for our family of 4. The kids are now adults and one is very very tall so a sofa bed wouldn’t work. The apartment we stayed in was one of the best we’ve used. Check in was a breeze, and we lucked out being able to check in early. There is so much in walkign distance, we could have stayed at least another week just to see more.
The apartment was spotless, the amenities very high quality, and the showers in the words of my 16yo son, are exquisite. They are quite wonderful to be sure.
There is dining all around with a huge variety of options. If you prefer to stay in and cook, a grocery is an easy walk and the kitchen is loaded.
We found the beds to be very comfy, the duvets made them cozy.
Large dining area makes for great family game time - we played poker with the chips in the suite. The couch is comfy for a large family to relax after exploring to watch a movie.
Thank you for a wonderful time in Reykjavik & hope to visit you again!

Highly Recommended Upscale and Convenient Location

The location of this hotel is ideal for tourists.We arrived on June 17, which is a national holiday. The celebrations were family-centered. However, many streets were closed for the day. That made it hard to get to our hotel in our rental van, even with the use of Google Maps and Citymapper. We had rented a large van, so we rented a parking space in the secure garage. The garage space was tight. An elevator (lift) made it easy to take our luggage from the street-level garage to our apartments. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk clerk spoke English with ease. She was pleasant and very helpful. Our family of 8 travelers occupied two comfortable apartments, each with a convenient kitchen. Each spacious apartment was very clean with upscale decor and fixtures. In the apartment, the kitchen amenities included tea and coffee as well as all the usual kitchen appliances. The beds were comfortable. But, once in bed, it took us a long time to figure out how to use the TV remote correctly. The directions were not adequate. The binder with hotel information also lacked walking directions to nearby places to get food. This was frustrating for us as first-time visitors. Many restaurants and attractions are within walking distance.On the whole, I recommend this hotel highly and would stay there again without hesitation.

Good and Bad

The apartment was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Unfortunately this complex is located on a very noisy street that was used every night by cruising muscle cars and motorcycles with those awful loud mufflers. We didn’t sleep much the two nights we were there. The problem is made worse because of the warmth of the building that necessitates keeping windows open to keep the apartment comfortable.It didn’t seem like there were many units that were not right over the street. Beware if you are sensitive to noise.

We stayed one night and had a fantastic experience.

Pros:
- Location is quite convenient to the main tourist area while not being too noisy in the evening
- Noise and light insulation quite good, windows open but also close easily, and the blackout curtains worked very well (quite necessary in late May!)
- Apartment was sparkling clean, including all glasses and dishware (for once I didn't have to rewash anything)
- Kitchen was fully stocked, including salt and pepper
- Receptionist was extremely helpful, showing us to our apartment and introducing us to some basics, as well as providing some nearby restaurant recommendations (can recommend Fjallkonan; expensive but good)

Cons:
- My husband found it too hot to sleep comfortably at night (low 20s/70s); it was much cooler outside, but we wanted to keep the windows closed for the noise
- The shower design does nothing to keep the whole bathroom from getting splashed and steamy

We really enjoyed our stay at the Black Pearl. We came in very early in the morning and reception staff escorted us immediately to our apartment, explaining its features clearly. It is quiet and extremely clean, and like all of Reykjavik, very safe for tourists. It is located a short walk from excellent restaurants, coffee shops, a great art museum, and the harbor front. I'd say it was about a 5-7 minute walk to the middle of downtown. It's also a quick walk to the pick up points for day tours as well (Bus Stop 4 and 15 are particularly close, but Bus Stop 5 is also close.) Kitchen is well-stocked with sharp knives, pans, and other stuff for cooking and serving meals, should you want a break from restaurant cuisine. Balcony does not overlook water but is a pleasant space for lingering over drinks. We'll book this again on our next trip to Iceland.

Parking miscommunication

There was a clear lack of communication regarding parking fees at this hotel. My booking did not state there would be a charge for the outside lot. During check-in, I was simply told to park outside, with no mention of payment. As a result, I was surprised to be charged $25 per night at check-out. I only avoided this fee on my first night because the lot was full, and I parked on the street during the free overnight period.
