Yazmin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay in the city.
I always stay at Freehand when I am visiting the city for work trips which is a few times a year. It is spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable as well. I love the cafe for breakfast and the hotel restaurants and bars are great. The only downfall is if they are closed for private events.

My go to in Midtown
Stayed here with some friends in the bunk bed room. It was convenient to our other friend who lives in the city. Very cool building. Sometimes there was a wait for the elevator, but it typically moved quickly.

First time visit - would def stay there again.
This hotel was perfect for our last minute visit to NY at a very busy time of year. We love the location (quieter area than Times Sq but has everything you need...food, access to subway/bus, shopping, parks, Christmas markets, etc)

Tanya, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay
I probably had the smallest room in the building but it was very comfortable and well designed. Loved the staff and the neighborhood. Boring review. Everything was great. Recommended
Paul, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hidden gem away from the hustle.
Front desk was very welcoming & helpful. Location was great; between Gramercy & Flat Iron, Chelsea is a 3 minute cab ride. Room was very comfortable; king bed and small sitting area. Actually had a view of Lexington Ave and not a building wall. My only negative is, the bathroom was a bit tight. But I’m also a larger man, so bathrooms are normally a bit snug. With that said, the shower had plenty of space
Matthew, 2-night trip

Perfect Holiday Stay!
check in was fast an easy! hotel was beautiful and festive! the staff was great esp at the adjoining restaurants! perfect location to exploring the city, very close to the 23st subway

Delightful room at a great price. Perfect for a quick trip. FABULOUS restaurant options on site.

4/10 Fair

The only thing this place has going for it is the location. Small, dark, dated rooms in dark, cramped hallways. Unfriendly, unsmiling front desk staff. Bare bones. $40 "facilities fee" for who knows what. Paper thin walls so you can hear every word your neighbors are saying. I only stayed here for a medical appointment around the corner.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall the stay was nice and went as expected, except for an argument in the hallway at 2am between a disgruntled couple that ended up with a call to the cops.
