The Nyhavn Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s

The Nyhavn Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Nyhavn Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s feels like you’re about to enter someone’s incredibly stylish Copenhagen apartment — which, honestly, is exactly what this four-star property is. The building sits right on Nyhavn 63D, and I mean right on the famous colorful harbor front that you’ve probably seen in every Copenhagen postcard. There’s something almost surreal about having your own penthouse space above one of the most photographed streets in Denmark, but here we are.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s wild about this place? You’re literally in the beating heart of Copenhagen — I’m talking about a location score of 9.7, which is pretty much unheard of. Step outside and you’re immediately on Nyhavn’s cobblestones, with those iconic 17th-century townhouses stretching along the canal. The Royal Theatre is maybe a three-minute walk, Strøget shopping street is right there, and you can actually see the boats bobbing in the harbor from your windows. Couples absolutely love this spot (and I can see why) — there’s something incredibly romantic about having the city’s most charming canal practically as your front yard.

The Penthouse Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — The Nyhavn Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s gives you an entire apartment experience with that boutique hotel polish. The space feels authentically Copenhagen modern, with clean Scandinavian lines but enough character to remind you where you are. What really got me was the attention to detail — everything from the kitchen setup to the way natural light floods through those large windows. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend time inside, not just crash after a day of sightseeing.

Living Like a Local

Having a proper kitchen means you can hit up the local markets (Torvehallerne is close by) and actually cook with Danish ingredients if that’s your thing. But honestly, with restaurants like Noma’s little sister spots and classic smørrebrød places within walking distance, you might not use it much. The real magic happens in the evening when you can pour a glass of wine and watch the canal come alive with locals and tourists alike — it’s like having front-row seats to Copenhagen’s daily theater.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s the combination of being right in the action but having your own private retreat above it all. Couples especially seem to fall for this place — maybe it’s the romantic canal views, or the fact that you feel like temporary Copenhageners rather than just tourists passing through. The property manages to capture that Danish concept of hygge without trying too hard, which is actually pretty impressive. You’re not just staying in Copenhagen; you’re living in the postcard for a few days.

To book hotel in Copenhagen for summer harbor baths, travelers secure Nyhavn-view suites draped in pastel facades.

Reviews of The Nyhavn Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s

• Iuliana from Romania – 31 March 2025 (10/10)

  Curat, spatios, cald, locatie excelenta:poti ajunge pe jos peste tot, bucatarie foarte bine utilata, liniste. Desi scria ca e o singura baie erau doua wc-uri ceea ce este f bine pentru un grup.
  
  What could be improved: Nu exista oglinda la chiuveta din baie ceea ce este un must.Dușurile ar trebui separate si dotate cu rafturi pentru cosmetice.

• Supunnarat from Thailand – 17 February 2025 (9/10)

  กว้างขวาง สวยงาม ทำเลดี มีอุปกรณ์ ครัวครบ สะอาด ที่นอนสบาย เครื่องทำความร้อนอบอุ่นดีมาก
  
  What could be improved: อยู่ชั้น3 ต้องเดินขึ้น ไม่เหมาะกับผู้สูงอายุ

• Wei from China – 5 February 2025 (8/10)

  Excellent location, nice stay

• Tikum from Germany – 23 January 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The door code we were given didn’t work. We had to stay outside for about 35 minutes to receive a new one. Apart from this detail, every other thing was perfect

• Simon from Denmark – 26 December 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The tv didn’t work properly in the living area

• Nichakarn from Thailand – 12 November 2024 (7/10)

  The location is close to all the attractions spot. The property is very spacious and clean.
  
  What could be improved: The property is located on the third floor which in European term means you have to go up 3 floors not two since the ground floor is considered 0th floor not one. The building doesn’t have elevator and the stairs are very steep. It is very inconvenient with all the luggages. The area is also building with stone paving making moving the luggage extremely tiring. Half of the messages sent to the property is unanswered (which they said it might be because of Booking system)

• Andrea from Switzerland – 27 October 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is super well located in the center of Copenhagen, in Nyhavn. It’s very big and perfect for large groups (we were 2 families with 4 kids in total). The agency is also very kind and available during the whole stay (we were able to check in earlier, they provided us a corkscrew which was missing and always reactive to our questions). Definitely recommend to stay here!
  
  What could be improved: Be conscious that the apartment is in a very old building so sonorisation is not great

• Roger from Switzerland – 20 October 2024 (10/10)

  Spacious, well appointed. Excellent location.

• Leigh from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment. Very clean
  
  What could be improved: I liked everything

• Erik from United States – 10 August 2024 (10/10)

  Outstanding location in Nyhavn. Set back very slightly off the main strip of cafes in a very cozy courtyard, which allows some privacy and noise protection. Awesome Thai restaurant in that courtyard. Honestly feels like a private patio, which was a great spot to have drinks with friends. Huge apartment. Easily fit our group of 4 adults and 7 children, with plenty of room to spare. Super clean. Easy check in process.
  
  What could be improved: Only thing I would change is having more privacy for the bedrooms. Right now there is either opaque glass, or clear glass and see-through curtains. With three of the 4 bedrooms off the main kitchen/dining/living area. Also, the main room lighting is odd where to have those lights on, it also lights up one of the bedrooms. Would consider having that changed as well.
