Scandic Front

"The first thing you notice walking into the Front is the Guest Wall, a floor-to-ceiling blackboard on which previous visitors have scribbled messages in colored chalk. It’s a sign that while this place may have the same owners as the D’Angleterre, the city’s grand dame property, its attitude is much more cocky. The designers have had fun mixing traditional and trendy. Sitting in the lobby bar you can order an apple strudel martini and browse a selection of books that ranges from A.A. Milne to American Psycho while sitting on a hot pink sofa under a portrait of Queen Margrethe. Décor in the compact bedrooms is somber: a palette of granite and slate, black leather chairs and black desks that give them a retro-80s feel, but the adjoining bathrooms (stocked with wonderful Ren products) have rustic cobbled floors. The menu in the dining room even takes a classic like fish-and-chips and updates it by using tuna. Guests can enjoy welcome modern touches like free wireless internet connection and complimentary beer and water in the minibar, then grumble about the old-fashioned problem of poor soundproofing. It’s worth spending the extra kronor to get a harbor view or, at the very least, work out in the well-equipped gym where you can take in the view of the city’s Opera House. The location is ideal, on a quiet street that’s equally close to the hopping bars of Nyhavn and the elegant antiques stores of Bredgade."

I really enjoyed my stay at Scandi Front! My bed was so comfy, the air con could easily be adjusted, and the room had good wardrobe space and a great shower with 2 settings. The reception team were so kind and helpful, especially Mary who looked after us every day, and Rose who quickly and efficiently sorted a minor issues for us. I was so impressed with the breakfast - I am both vegan and gluten free and there was a huge section dedicated just to this! Would highly recommend the hotel to anyone with allergens as the team are so helpful. The reception area has a cute snack station, and the hotel gym is great, I used it several times and found the range of machines fab for a hotel! The location is excellent, 10 mins walk to a metro, 1 minute walk to Joe and the Juice coffee shop, and a vegan restaurant is over the road! Would recommend to any vegan/gfs like me - Atlas Bar, Cafe Patina, Bistro Lupa, Social Brew and Bistro Verde! Thanks Scandi Front for a great stay!

The hotel is located close to Nyhavn and we found it a perfect location for exploring Copenhagen by foot. The room was small and tired but we had come to visit the City not stay in the room and the bed was comfortable. The room was a bit too warm but we left the window open at night which wasn't an issue as the hotel is in a quiet immediate area.|However, we wanted a good breakfast before each of our days' exploring and one of the reasons we chose it was because some reviews praised the breakfast. Well in our opinion it was mostly dreadful. It is completely buffet and the area it is in is too small for the number of guests, so you perch on a small uncomfortable chair with other guests knocking into you with their trays and kids running around the place. All drinks, including fruit juice(!), comes out of machines. The coffee was ok but the hot chocolate was just powder and hot water. The cooked breakfast comprised tasteless overcooked scrambled egg, fatty lardons, frankfurter type sausage, hot pate(!) and potato hash and baked beans (all help yourself, or better not!). Only the latter two items were edible. The only items on offer that we found an acceptable standard were the coffee, small croissant, fresh bread, cheese and ham. Maybe book the hotel for the location but have a breakfast elsewhere.

Round the corner from Nyhavn. Nice room and bar. No restaurant but some stuff in reception and tons of rests and streetfood (across the bridge) 10 mins away. No mini bar in room but tea making facilities. Twice the price of similar hotels in Malmö but, think that's par for the course in Copenhagen.

The hotel enjoys a great location on Copenhagen’s waterfront, with a nice view and easy access to major attractions. The room was generally comfortable, the breakfast plentiful and varied, and the morning staff were particularly welcoming and friendly. However, for the price charged, the property feels far too outdated: stained carpet, worn furniture, a very small and basic bathroom with a quirky double-headed shower. Soundproofing seems to date back 20 years – we could hear our neighbors clearly, not only from the same floor but also from the floors above. Lastly, the reception service was almost nonexistent: over six days, only two staff members were friendly and available, while most of the time we felt invisible. A real pity, because with better maintenance and a warmer welcome, the Scandic Front could truly live up to its prime location.

This is a real dump of a hotel, and I’m surprised it’s allowed to carry the Scandic brand. I give it one star only because the location is good and the breakfast staff were super friendly. Other than that, I arrived to a room with a filthy toilet, full of black hairs, that reeked of urine as much as an airplane lavatory when you sit down on it. The sink drain was leaking, so the wastewater ran straight out onto the floor (room 114) – truly disgusting. The double bed only had two sleeping pillows, with a third one placed on a shelf. The power outlet by the bed was out of order, which I only discovered in the morning when I woke up with a dead phone.||But worst of all was the noise. The walls were paper-thin, so I could hear the neighbors sighing, flushing, plugging in their chargers, and showering. Corridor noise went straight into the room through the thin doors – people coming and going, doors slamming, conversations, and luggage clattering over the thresholds. The room was located above a waste station where glass was thrown and garbage trucks came to collect the trash, all of which was clearly audible because there were only two window panes. The “view” was a brick wall. It was only quiet between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., so today I feel anything but rested.||Did I try to change rooms? Yes.||Scandic issued a press release saying they would only offer vegan butter going forward, then later changed it to say that it would always be available. At this hotel, there wasn’t any vegan/dairy-free butter at all.||I will not go back and dont recommend anyone to go there.

Excellent location but that is it. Everything very tired and stripped to the barest necessities. Bathroom very ordinary. Tiniest lift imaginable. Breakfast according to the room card available to 10:30 whereas closes at 9:30. Check in 4pm. Barely a 3* hotel. Nothing positive to say.

The best thing with Scandic Front is the location, close to Nyhavn and Kongens Nytorg. Easy access from the airport with metro plus a few minutes walk.||||The hotel needs some upgrades and maintenance. No sound protection from the corridor. Drainage in the shower was almost blocked, turned the shower into a foot bath - you should expect the hotel to have some basic maintenance routines. ||||No aircondition in the room, only a noisy system without any cooling. ||||Overall good breakfast, but quite crowded in the eating area.

The quality of the rooms are not worth the price. Worn out and not well cleaned. The breakfast area is overcrowded and unorganised - to few tables for the guests. (No table booking for breakfast)||A shame as the potential is high for this location in Copenhagen.

Not a four star hotel. Broken phone during week long stay. Front desk staff impersonal. Asked for an upper floor and got a second floor corner. Breakfast hot food was cold. Breakfast staff were the nicest.

When I checked in, the room I had , had some issues with it. I went to the main area and a wonderful hotel desk worker, Bella upgraded me into another room. That room turned out to be great. This isn't a place to stay if you are planning on doing business work in your room, it lacks connections next to the bed, and the desk area -it had one , but not usb ports per se. I can say the next is very fast, and it is included. I had no issues watching a movie while using VPN. The breakfast is buffet, and there is plenty of items to choose from. To my fellow Americans, ice is not readily available so ask the wait staff to get you some. They will. Trust me try the elderflower)berry water, wonderful. Oh and management? Make Bella your night manager or manager in training. I go to a lot of hotels worldwide and she is by far the best I've seen. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Helpful. A talent.

The Scandic Front is one of my fave small hotels in Copenhagen. It's a comfy, snug, modern hotel on the water, with views of The Royal Opera of Copenhagen, and walking distance to Papiroen Street Food Warehouse, Amalienborg Palace, great walking paths and proximate to the shops at Kongens Nytorv, the shopping section in CPH. I loved the sumptuous breakfasts (included with the room) both American and Scandi breakfast choices and extensive throughout. I had a burger at the restaurant one meal, and it was awesome too. If you like a smallish hotel away from the crowds and tourists, this is it. This boutique type hotel is part of the Scandic brand hotels, the Scandic Front is on the quieter side a 5 minute walk from the Nyhavn, and about 10 from Kongens Nytorv (shopping and bars). Service: Is on par with 4 star hotels. Everyone was warm helpful and greets guests. My last name is very far from Jensen yet staff members remembered my last name. I asked for a cancellation at a restaurant and asked for one at Geranium and it was done within an hour. Asked for car service to CPH because there was a marathon in front of the hotel (could not get to metro because of the crowds), and got one (shocked they made it happen). Super impressed. One less star for hallways and elevator.... It's time for a remo. Still, this is an amazing value for the neighborhood, the full breakfast, service and attentiveness. Visits: 1 Tip: Get the waterfront rooms if you can, there are 6 floors to the hotel. The waterfront side are loft rooms, good for families. WIFI was very good. Join the Scandic guest program and get 20% off in restaurant and store. Breakfast is loaded so if you're into big breakfasts, this is it. There is a Magnum ice cream freezer in the sundries shop. Kongens Nytorv subway stop is about 10 minute walk.

Loved my stay here. -request a room with a waterfront view, it's worth it. -The breakfast bar is free with ur stay and it is very very good. Pastries, sandwich bar, and egg/ bacon / bean station. -The bathroom floors are heated and it makes a big difference in comfort -Only a 5 min walk from Nyhaven so location is also a plus. -They've got a 24 hr gym and a bar -room is larger than I expected. 2 closets, a couch, a couple of seats, etc. Larger than equivalent US hotels for the same price

This hotel is in a great location! It's perfect place and you can walk everywhere. The rooms are very small and has a modern decor. We had a small balcony. I felt like we were in cruise ship..lol. But overall the staff was very nice and helpful and the breakfast was great. They have free WiFi but you have to log into every day. The rooms have AC but it seems to not be working very well. Sometimes I left the balcony door open to get the room colder. Again great location and good breakfast.

The hotel was actually really nice, but the bar and the restaurant would not be recommended! We arrived at 17:30 with a group of 12 people and we were told that each guest could only order a burger? She said "it would overwhelm the kitchen if we ordered different foods". She refused to budge on it, saying that the cooks would be "mad". After approaching management, they did offer us a free desert as an apology, and they confirmed that the food options should not have been limited for our group. I've adjusted this rating accordingly, but I would not recommend the bar or the restaurant. Staff and strictly hotel though - Awesome!

Very charming hotel in a great location. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. The rooms were modern and clean. This is a quick walk to Nyhavn and the Royal Opera House. Also close to Copenhagen StreetFood across the water, a great spot to try different cuisines and enjoy the water. Quiet at night and very comfortable. Highly recommended. I will happily stay here for my return visit.

This hotel is perfectly placed for those looking to enjoy Nyhavn and the city's waterfront district. We stayed in one of the king lost rooms which was very modern. My only complaint was that it gets very warm. We kept closing the drapes but housekeeping would open then while we were out meaning we would return to a hot room. The small air conditioning couldnt cool the room off fast enough and we would end up opening the windows to cool down at night. Breakfast had a large selection of items and made for the perfect start to busy touring days. Hopefully the construction surrounding Samkt Ann's Plads will be finished soon as that does contribute to noisy rooms.

Great location in the city center makes everything walking distance. You're right in the water front here. The only negatives are the tiny bathrooms and paper thin walls. You can hear every person in the hallways and outside too. If that bothers you then you might consider other options. I was here off-season but it was still a bit annoying to be woken at all hours with guests and revelers. Still, the location can't be beat the and rates were reasonable.

I would say the best thing about this hotel is its location. It's near a nice harbor and close to Nyhavn. But it isn't that impressive itself. The hotel's shower door isn't long enough and all the water pours out. The room is okay; the furniture isn't that nice. I stayed in a Scandic in Stockholm which I think was slightly nicer. They could also make the lobby more nice and more welcoming. I think that the staff at the front are extremely helpful and they speak English really well. The included breakfast was nice as well. So, overall, not bad but I might lookout for other more unique to Copenhagen hotels for the future.
