The Lakes apartments by Daniel&Jacob’s

The Lakes apartments by Daniel&Jacob’s Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Lakes apartments by Daniel&Jacob’s, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building sits right on Dahlerupsgade, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve scored something special in Copenhagen. It’s one of those four-star places that doesn’t try too hard — the entrance is understated but you can tell there’s thought behind every detail. I mean, when you’re on the 4th or 5th floor, the views start to make sense of why couples rate this spot so highly.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this area — you’re actually in Copenhagen, not some tourist bubble. The Lakes (Søerne) are literally right there, which means morning walks that don’t feel forced or touristy. You’ve got the city center within easy reach, but you’re also in this quieter pocket where locals actually live and work. The fact that recent guests rated the location 8.9 makes total sense when you realize you can walk to Nørrebro’s cool cafes in one direction and hit the main shopping streets in the other. Plus, there’s private parking available, which — trust me — is worth its weight in gold in Copenhagen.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel rooms, they’re proper apartments, and that changes everything about your stay. You get space to actually unpack and settle in, plus a kitchen if you want to grab groceries from one of the nearby markets. The apartments feel modern without being sterile — there’s personality in the design choices, and you can tell Daniel & Jacob (whoever they are) actually care about the guest experience. The 4th and 5th floor units have these great windows, and depending on which way you’re facing, you might catch glimpses of the lakes or the neighborhood’s mix of old and new architecture.

What Makes It Work for Couples

I get why couples give this place a 9.2 rating for romantic trips. It’s not about fancy amenities or over-the-top romance packages — it’s more subtle than that. You have privacy and space to be yourselves, plus you’re in a neighborhood that’s perfect for those long, meandering walks that somehow turn into the best part of your trip. The lakes provide this natural romantic backdrop, and there are enough cozy restaurants and wine bars within walking distance that you never feel stuck or limited in your options.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

The 8.3 overall rating tells the real story here — this place consistently delivers on what it promises. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or concierge services you’ll never use. Instead, you get a well-located, thoughtfully designed apartment that lets you experience Copenhagen like you actually live there for a few days. The combination of that top-rated location, the apartment-style setup, and the genuine local neighborhood feel creates something that’s harder to find than you’d think. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

Best hotels in Copenhagen blend hygge fireplaces, rooftop saunas, and chef’s tables devoted to New Nordic cuisine.

  What could be improved: We stayed in two different apartments. In one of the apartments the grey sofa had dirty brown stains. Looked so bad we had to cover it with a quilt.

• Laimonas from Norway – 28 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was perfect. You could reach Tivoli and other attraction within 10-15 min of walking. In the apartment you could find everything what you need and even more. The apartment had a lot of space, so it was no problem having 2 kids running around 🙂
  
  What could be improved: In the shower it's missing a glass or the shower curtain (after having shower all bathroom is wet).
  Not so far there is a clock that hit the bells each hour so sometimes it wakes you up 🙂

  What could be improved: We were expecting an oven, but there was only a microwave, made home cookin a little bit harder.

• Jane from United States – 16 October 2024 (8/10)

  Modern and clean
  
  Large bathroom
  
  What could be improved: Location doesn’t have much immediately around it for restaurant, groceries, daily stuff. A bit of a walk from either metro on cobblestones with roller bags.

• Katie from United Kingdom – 3 October 2024 (8/10)

  Great location and fantastic sized apartment
  
  What could be improved: It took over 24 hours for the staff to replace a broken hair dryer
