I love the Freehand!

Incredibly friendly staff that went the extra mile from reception to bell cap!

Cute & Comfy

Always love this hotel. The views are horrible (ha) but the rooms are super cute and beds are comfy. Really nice spot if you need something budget-friendly and close to Flatiron/Nomad neighborhoods - - or you are a subway rider as it has the main lines really close.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Restaurants and location were great.
Jamel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I truly love the Freehand NYC. The location can’t be beat, and all the places to sit and hang out, get a bite or a drink within the hotel are fantastic. Madison Square park is so close and so wonderful. Lots of great restaurants and cafes are an easy walk. Also a pretty easy walk up Broadway to Times Square. Rooms are small but well appointed with wonderful details. I can’t say enough good things about the Freehand.
Larissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, comfortable, convenient, but slightly dated

Great lobby and common areas on the ground floor. Convenient location. Room was surprisingly big for NYC (and comfortable) but decor and hallways were a little dated. All in all enjoyed the stay and would come here again.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute hotel, super tiny rooms but decent condition. Really nice and friendly front desk staff. Happy to see there is a fridge included in some rooms, but no space for anything larger than a water bottle. We were interested in checking out the bar and could not get access or even find the entrance! (but the internet says it's good)
Erica, 3-night trip

Long weekend

The hotel room was very cute, clean, and it was a great stay for a long weekend. I loved the hotel bars and everyone who worked there was incredibly nice. The location was perfect. I would be very happy to stay again.
Kathleen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was quite cozy and very clean.
Margaret, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was spacious. Furnishings need refreshing. Noisy. The double glazing was not sufficient to cut out street noise. Lighting in the room and bathroom were very dim.
Nereus, 4-night trip

Stylish, Hip Hotel with Great Service

Very fun, very stylish/hip hotel with fantastic service. One staff member, Hero (sp?), was fantastic and really helped make our stay wonderful. My only recommendation would be to add more items to the bathroom - water glass, toiletry storage, etc.

Victoria, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Busy, crowded hotel with a college vibe

Loved the decor and the proximity to a great breakfast spot. We had a tiny room that had blackout shades and a warm, comfy bed. Because the room was small, we wanted to use the lounge, but it was often occupied by private groups.
Catherine, 4-night trip
