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."

Room was comfortable, slightly tired, but adequate. Clean. One block away from Nyhaven made it very nice. Hotel lobby and breakfast room were nice. Breakfast is exceptional! Very enjoyable stay. Staff were very nice. Great Wi-Fi. Metro and hoho bus were only a few blocks away.

This hotel offers excellent facilities and is perfectly located, making it easy to explore the city. The breakfast selection was impressive, with fresh and delicious options every morning. The staff provided outstanding service throughout our stay—always friendly, helpful, and professional. A truly enjoyable experience from start to finish!

The location is truly top-notch, right by the water, steps from Nyhavn, and a short walk to many of Copenhagen’s main attractions. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.||The hotel itself feels more like a forgotten airport motel off a U.S. interstate, think 90s carpets, creaky doors, and a general sense of “it used to be nice.” Our room’s entrance door made a loud creaking noise every time we opened it and required a hip-check to budge. The bathroom wasn’t much better there was visible mold in the shower, and part of the door handle fell off mid-stay.||It’s clear the place needs a serious refresh. With such a great location, it could be a gem, but in its current state, it’s just tired. Sadly, I won’t be staying here again.

While the location is truly excellent — right by the waterfront and within walking distance of many key attractions — the overall experience is disappointing, especially considering the price point. For €300 per night, I expected much more. The room is quite dated, with visible wear and tear throughout — furniture was worn down, and some pieces were literally falling apart. There was no fridge, no shelf space for clothes, not even a towel mat in front of the shower. It felt more like a budget room than something in this price range. The hotel does have potential, and the staff were friendly, but in its current condition, it simply doesn’t offer good value for money. I hope the rooms will be renovated soon, because right now, it’s hard to justify the cost.

Fantastic variety for breakfast, brilliant location. Not wanting to be negative, as we had a lovely few days here, but for the price paid, I think I'd expected the decor to be a little less tatty, the bedside light to work and the chairs in our room to be a little bit more comfortable, but on the plus side, the views from the balcony window were really good and our room was spacious.

Very average hotel. Room was great in size but air conditioning did not work well at all. Great location but dont expect to be blown away.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic with many choices. The room was clean and comfortable. The only negative was the horrible smell in lobby during the day, thankfully it was not present during breakfast nor could I smell it from my room.

I sent an email to the hotel and also left a note, but it doesn’t seems like I will get a response. ||I arrived quite late in the evening (didn't have an chance to notice when I checked in as we only left our luggage and went out again) and did not discover several issues in the room until it was too late to report them to the reception.||To my surprise and dismay, I found blood on the bathroom floor, which I had to clean myself. There was also a significant amount of hair in the shower, and I discovered an empty blister pack (medicine packaging) on the floor.||These findings are unacceptable and clearly indicate that the room was not properly cleaned before my arrival. Considering the price I paid for the room, I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness and care.

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.
