My husband and I just returned from a four night luxurious stay at the Black Pearl.What a lovely treat! This was actually our third visit to Reykjavik and we had previously stayed in another hotel, which we thought was fine at the time. However, I can assure you, now that we've experienced all the Pearl has to offer, we will never stay anywhere else again when visiting Reykjavik. The Pearl apartment was spacious and beautiful, decorated in a modern Scandinavian style. A lot of thought has obviously gone into outfitting it. It seemed that whenever we wanted something, we looked and it was right there at hand. There was even a large balcony with tables and chairs to relax on after a busy day of excursions. The location is also perfection, smack dab in the happening 101 neighborhood. Just step outside and there are tons of restaurants, bars and the main shopping streets are close by. And as if that weren't enough, the Pearl offers garage parking to their guests, which is a huge plus. Parking spaces can be a bit scarce downtown, especially in the busy summer season. The service at the Pearl was impeccable, literally from the very first email contact I had with them, until the moment we checked out. Everyone who worked there was friendly, helpful and did all that they could to ensure that our stay was pleasant. Definitely take advantage of the catered breakfast they offer! It was not only delicious but also quite plentiful, providing leftovers for days! We can't seem to get enough of Iceland and I know we will be visiting again soon. Without a doubt, when in Reykjavik, you'll find us staying at the Black Pearl - Reykjavik's Finest Apartments hands down!
