First Hotel
Twentyseven is a 200-room upscale chain property in central Copenhagen, within walking distance of attractions. Bright rooms have comfy beds, sleek
bathrooms, and pleasant city views -- but they can
be small, and some show a bit of wear and tear. And although the hotel sports the clean
lines of typical Scandinavian design, and suites have whirlpool tubs, the lower-end rooms have more basic decor and
lack minibars and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Breakfast is not always included in the room rate, and noise from the street and the
swanky cocktail lounge can pose a problem for light sleepers, especially on
weekends. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and parking and bike rentals are
available for a fee. Travelers might want to also consider the Scandic
Front Hotel, a slightly quieter alternative at comparable rates.

Scene
A modern hotel with fairly stylish decor and daring designer touches in parts
The hotel’s modern interior and neutral-toned facade contrasts with the historic brick buildings that surround it. The functional but stylish lobby sports a striking red color palette that complements the gray slate tile floors and festive light fixtures. Even
the public toilets are worth a mention, decked out in slate floors and
wall tiling, a central mosaic sink in red and black topped with a decadent disco ball.
But hallways feel dull and uninspired, with plain white walls and
dark-patterned carpet, and the stairs leading up to them garishly combine dated red-and-black patterned carpeting with more red walls. The
simple but elegant breakfast room has floor-to-ceiling windows, and some
gorgeous hardwood communal tables, while the moody cocktail lounge takes a more daring approach to decor -- including a Brigitte Bardot ceiling fresco. The hotel draws mostly couples and business travelers, but solo travelers and families have checked in here too.
Location
Excellent central location, on a quiet side street but within walking distance of attractions
The hotel’s central location is among its standout features. It sits on a
quiet side street, which means slightly less noise, but street noise can still be a problem. The hotel is a few minutes' walk to Tivoli Gardens, Stroget (one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets),
and public transportation connections, including the central train station.- Three-minutewalk to City Hall
Rooms
Basic standard rooms and stylish higher-end rooms with more amenities
The 200 rooms at First Hotel Twentyseven are bright and sleek, with laminate wood floors and comfortable beds with wooden headboards, although some rooms are small. The least-expensive rooms are fairly basic, with plain white walls and curtains, and functional bedside tables and foldout desks that are part of a space-saving storage suite. They lack such extras as minibars and coffeemakers. Standard Doubles add chic gray armchairs, while Deluxe Rooms
have a wall of windows behind their enormous beds.
The single loft-style Junior Suites have a more boutique vibe, with gray throws, wall-mounted bedside tables, prints
on the walls, and a row of picture-frame windows.
They also have large, well-designed desks, and minimalist Scandinavian-style armchairs
plus small tables in reds and grays. Bathrooms are sleek and stylish across the
board, with elegant black wall and floor tiling, though they’re on the small
side (except in the Junior Suites). White vanities hold modern ceramic sinks and
individual toiletries, and walk-in showers have power showerheads (Junior
Suites add whirlpool bathtubs); but some of the shower tiling is stained.Rooms have pleasant
views of neighboring buildings, but none have balconies. Standard amenities
include individually controlled heating and air-conditioning, plus wall-mounted phones with
unattractive dangling wires. There are also small flat-screen TVs, safes,
hairdryers, and free Wi-Fi, though only the higher-end rooms have coffee- and
tea-making facilities, minibars or snack trays, bathrobes, and slippers. Some
guests complained about wear and tear in the rooms, and noise -- from neighboring rooms, the street, and the cocktail lounge -- which even reaches rooms on the top floors.
Features
Lively cocktail lounge and courtyard, plus bike rentals
The First Hotel Twentyseven is missing some of the usual features of an
upscale property -- there's no gym, for instance. The hot and cold breakfast
buffet (served in the oddly named Wine Room) is popular, though it’s not
included in all rates. There’s also a kiosk selling basic food and drink items
in the lobby, and room service is available. The pleasant cocktail lounge has a lively atmosphere,
particularly when it plays host to DJs on weekends, and a smoker-friendly
outdoor courtyard is open in the summer months. Meeting facilities are
available, and there are Apple Mac computers for guests to use, as well as free
and reliable Wi-Fi throughout. Bike rentals and limited secure parking are both
available for extra fees.
