The overall environment of the hotel is nice, and the room is okay. However, the room was incredibly dry—I woke up with a severe sore throat and painful eyes, which completely ruined my sleep. On top of that, the front desk staff handling the check-in had a not good attitude and were very rude.

We loved our stay at Freehand - truly a great, budget-conscious way to stay in Manhattan. The room was small, but clean, and the amenities were unfussy but with a great vibe. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The hotel has a truly cool vibe, and its history makes the experience even more interesting. It’s in a great location—close to Midtown, but just far enough from the chaos of Times Square to feel relaxed. The rooms are charming and surprisingly spacious, and I loved the funky décor. The beds were incredibly comfortable—easily one of the highlights of the stay. Check-in, however, felt a bit frosty. It almost seemed as though the person behind the desk was the one being inconvenienced, rather than welcoming a guest. A warmer greeting would have made a much better first impression, as it set a slightly flat tone at the start. The hotel itself is very casual, so if you’re looking for an upscale, traditional luxury experience, this may not be the right fit. That said, the building is beautiful and the overall vibe is young and hip. Despite the less-than-warm welcome, I would definitely stay again for the location and the generous room size alone.

I liked the atmosphere of the hotel and its location. Bathroom sink is very small. There’s barely any space inside the small refrigerator and I could only fit small water bottles in there after taking out the racks. Other than that, I’m pleased with my stay there. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I had a room in the inside part of the building, and it was very quiet at night.

This stay was exactly as expected. Clean quiet place to sleep each night. Great location near subways and food choices. Safe and easy to walk to other neighborhoods. We enjoyed using the lounge area one afternoon to take a little break and not be in our room. Price seemed fair for room quality and location.
