Design apartments facing the old port, in a 2018 building that plays the high-end studio card rather than the Icelandic palace.
Black Pearl Apartment Hotel
From
444.6 €
“Equipped kitchenettes in each unit, for those who want to cook salmon from the Kolaportið market two streets away.”
The Black Pearl Apartment Hotel occupies a contemporary building on Tryggvagata, in the old port district of Reykjavik. We are in the spirit of a high-end apartment, not a palace: kitchenettes, open spaces, clean Scandinavian lines, light wood and polished concrete. The large windows overlook the port or the rooftops of the centre, the light changes throughout the day according to the season. The Wi-Fi works well, the private parking is a real plus in this neighbourhood where parking is a challenge. From 444,60 € per night, it is expensive for an apartment without palace services, but the Booking rating (9,2/10 from 583 reviews) reflects the impeccable cleanliness and appreciated autonomy. We would have liked a bar or a breakfast corner, but the address assumes its hybrid positioning. Ideal for stays of three nights and more, when one wants to experience Reykjavik like a well-off local.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Black Pearl to travellers who prefer the autonomy of an apartment over the service of a classic hotel. It is an address for families who want to cook, couples on long stays (four nights and more), or professionals on assignment who need space and stable connection. Palace lovers with concierge and 24h room service will pass, here we focus on independence and functional comfort.
The building
Architecture and interiors
Contemporary 2018 building, sober Scandinavian architecture in glass and concrete. Nordic design interiors: light wood, pared-back furniture, open kitchen onto the living area in most units. Standard ceiling heights (around 2,60 m), large windows to maximise natural light so precious in winter. Equipment for disabled guests integrated from the design stage, lift and wide circulation areas.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Reykjavik
The Black Pearl stands on Tryggvagata, in the old port of Reykjavik, a two-minute walk from the Kolaportið flea market and Harpa (concert hall). The neighbourhood concentrates fish restaurants, craft breweries and galleries, very lively by day, calmer in the evening. Laugavegur, the main shopping artery, is a ten-minute walk away. Keflavík airport is 45 km (50 minutes by car), the BSÍ bus station 2 km for Golden Circle or Blue Lagoon excursions.
