Michelin Guide "Contemporary harbourside hotel with pleasant lobby-lounge, airy function rooms and well-equipped fitness area."
Frommer's "On the inside, however, it's one of the hottest and most appealing hotels in town." Full review
Concierge "An offspring of Copenhagen's frostiest grande dame, Hotel D'Angleterre, the Front feels less like a lady-in-waiting than a parody of the pandering boutique hotel."
Travel + Leisure "The fitness center, on the first floor of the all-glass Front Hotel, overlooks the modern Copenhagen Opera House designed by Henning Larse." Full review
DK Eyewitness "All the rooms are lavish in their comforts, with deep beige and brown accents, Barcelona chairs, and flat-screen TVs, as well as tiled bathrooms with vanity mirrors."
Condé Nast Traveler "The first thing you notice is the Guest Wall, a floor-to-ceiling blackboard on which previous visitors have scribbled messages in colored chalk." Full review
Star Service "With the queen as its neighbor, this hotel is located on an elegant street near museums, art galleries, Kongens Nytorv (The King's New Square), chic shops and Stroeget (the walking street)." Full review

Frommer's "This hotel has no frills, but it's comfortable and moderately priced -- reason enough to recommend it." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An ornate, period building with lavish decor leading to somewhat smallish rooms that feel a bit worn at times."
Rough Guide "Excellent-value perfectly adequate hotel in this otherwise expensive regal neighbourhood of Frederikstaden, overlooking peaceful Churchill Parken and the grassy ramparts of Kastellet."
Star Service "Nonetheless, this midsize boutique-hotel from the quality-driven Guldsmeden chain is a sprightly spot with a familiar Balinese burr, a signature from this homegrown company." Full review
