By the Lakes apartments – Into This Place Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to By the Lakes apartments – Into This Place on Dahlerupsgade, you immediately get why this spot has such a strong reputation with guests. It’s one of those places that feels intentionally tucked away — not hidden exactly, but definitely not screaming for attention either. The building itself has that classic Copenhagen charm, and honestly, being on the 4th and 5th floors means you’re getting some pretty decent views without the street noise that can plague ground-level spots in the city center.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this four-star property — it’s positioned right where you want to be without feeling like you’re in the thick of tourist chaos. Copenhagen‘s lakes are literally right there, which explains the name and why couples consistently rate the location so highly. You know what’s great? You can actually walk to most of the major sights, but you’re also close enough to those cozy neighborhood spots that locals frequent. The private parking is a genuine lifesaver if you’re driving — trust me, finding parking in this part of the city can be a real headache otherwise.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment feels like someone’s actual home, which I mean in the best possible way. The layouts are thoughtful, and you get a proper sense of space that’s hard to find in standard hotel accommodations. The kitchen setup is actually functional (not just decorative like some places), so you can grab groceries from the local markets and cook if you want. It’s that kind of flexibility that makes longer stays feel natural rather than cramped.

What Sets It Apart

The thing about By the Lakes apartments is that they’ve managed to nail that sweet spot between independence and service. You’re not dealing with a massive hotel lobby scene, but you’re also not completely on your own if something comes up. The building feels secure and well-maintained — details that matter when you’re settling in for more than just a night or two. Plus, being spread across two floors gives the whole place a more intimate vibe than those sprawling hotel complexes.

Why Guests Love It

Look, the 8.4 rating isn’t an accident, and neither is that 8.8 location score. People keep coming back because this place delivers on what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. The lakeside setting gives you that peaceful Copenhagen experience, while still keeping you connected to everything the city offers. For couples especially — and I can see why they rate it so highly — there’s something really appealing about having your own space in such a well-positioned spot. It’s the kind of place where you can actually imagine living, not just passing through.

Copenhagen’s hotels pair greenhouse lounges, cargo bike rentals, and concierge-led tastings through Torvehallerne.
