Easy check in, friendly desk staff. Felt very safe staying solo for business. Room was spotless. Would happily stay here again.

The threes company room was perfect for our needs. It reminded us of a dorm room - it was very unique making good use of the space. The view from our room was also very nice. It was clean and comfortable.

Hotel was okay for a quick stay. Bit older of a building so lighting and applicances were a little outdated but got the job done. Lots around and food/drinks on the property.
2-night trip

10/10

It was a great place to stay. I would recommend it for people who mostly want to do stuff outside of their hotel room since the room was so small. But the location was great, the building is beautiful, and I was comfortable in my single queen bed room. The cafe downstairs serves good food, too. Just be warned that, at least in my room, there were no drawers to store clothing, though there was a closet and a few hangers.

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.

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.

The bed was so uncomfortable. You coild feel the springs. The bathroom was so small, you had to sit on the toilet sideways.

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.

10/10

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.

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)

4-night trip

8/10

Unfortunately my room’s ac was not working and the hotel was not able to switch rooms until the next day. After a long travel day it was more aggravating than anything else. The next day the staff accommodated a change and all was good after that. Otherwise a good stay and nice (but very humid) gym.
