Always enjoy the great vibe and convenient location at Freehand New York. The aesthetic is on point, but noise was a downside. Despite the delay in check-in and plastic waste issue, the staff made celebrating our partnership special. A solid choice for a NYC stay.

I chose Freehand for its prime location near St. Patrick's Cathedral, which I've always wanted to visit. The surprise Great Gatsby party added an unforgettable touch to my stay, and Comodo's vibrant Latin American flavors created a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.
Room felt slightly crowded and noisy.

I chose Freehand for its location near Bryant Park, but the epic evening of decadence at The Great Gatsby Party pleasantly surprised me. The Latin American flavors at Comodo were vibrant and inviting, adding a unique touch to my stay.
Rooms not together as requested.

The rooms were outstanding and newly decorated, had smoke detectors for safety. Helpful staff, savoury breakfast, had a very pleasant stay overall in a vibrant hotel.
Facilities were overall nice, yet Wi-Fi was pretty slow.

We had an amazing stay here. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the room, Breakfast at Tiffany's, was elegant and clean. The breakfast both mornings was absolutely delicious. The hotel itself had stunning atmosphere and beautiful decor. We really enjoyed the location, as it was within walking distance to the square in downtown Covington.
Nothing to complain about at all.

Well-designed building interiors with ample lounges and restaurants. Priority entrance to rooftop bar for guests. Friendly and familiar staff, although they could use more experience. Convenient subway access with short rides to major attractions. Cozy rooms, as expected from a boutique accommodation.

The hotel had a great location, close to key attractions and easy to get around. The rooms were nicely decorated with an artsy vibe, giving a unique and cool atmosphere. The staff was friendly and provided great recommendations for places to visit in the city.
The noise level in the rooms was quite high, as the windows were not soundproofed well during the renovation. The lack of facilities to store belongings and a decent counter in the bathroom was also a drawback.

A journey into vibrant Latin flavors invited me to relax and savor the bold tastes. The natural wines and lively cocktails added a touch of excitement to the social scene. Exploring the city was a breeze with convenient transport links nearby. The hotel's artistic flair and historical nods created a unique atmosphere. Quad rooms were perfect for our group, while the rooftop oasis offered stunning city views. A memorable stay blending culture, art, and good company. Cheers to a roaring twenties vibe!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, with everything close by - from Times Square to the Flat Iron district. The subway stop was also conveniently nearby, making it easy to explore the city. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always ready to help. The room amenities were impressive, with everything I needed from ironing facilities to a mini-bar. The hotel had a lovely patio with garden furniture, perfect for some relaxation. The room itself was soundproofed, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The cleanliness was remarkable, and I loved the cozy sitting area. this place provided enhanced comfort and quality services.
This hotel is highly recommended for families.

We had a great stay here! The location is perfect, close enough to walk most places but not too crowded. It's also really close to the metro station and Grand Central Terminal, which made it super convenient to get around. The service was amazing, from the dry cleaning and housekeeping to the porter and bell staff. The room amenities were also great, including the mini-bar and ironing facilities. The soundproofed rooms made for a peaceful night's sleep.

Jaw-dropping vegetarian couscous at Studio cafe was a feast fit for a king! Unbelievable dining experience at Simon and the Whale. Stunning rooftop bar with killer cocktails. The nearby bites at Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern, and Eleven Madison Park are top-notch.
The four person bunk room may feel a bit cozy, but it's perfect for a tight-knit crew.

I recently stayed at the Freehand hotel in Manhattan for four nights. The Washington Bar and Simon & The Whale restaurant were both excellent, with great staff, atmosphere, and delicious food. The hotel was clean and in a good location, with a subway stop just down the street. The room was compact but not cramped, and the beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooftop bar seemed like a popular spot. a very pleasant stay.
I do recommend this hotel.

I recently stayed at Freehand for a few days and it served as a great base for my trip. The location was perfect, close to everything I wanted to do, and I enjoyed daily strolls in the city. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the beds were pretty comfortable too. I appreciated the little touches like the free apples and melatonin gummies, which were a nice touch after a long day of exploring. Being able to stream movies from my phone to the room's TV was also a great feature.
I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel's decoration was truly delightful, with its charming and cozy vibe that made me feel right at home. The general areas were well-maintained and offered plenty of comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings. As a senior person, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility and convenient layout, making it easy for me to navigate and enjoy my stay without any difficulty.
The only thing I would ask for is a better vacation experience for senior people by having clearer signage throughout the hotel to make it easier for the children of the staff and older guests to find their way around effortlessly.

The hotel offers great value for money with affordable prices. The staff is friendly and provides basic amenities in the rooms. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the #6 subway and close to the Flat Iron district, making it convenient for exploring the city. The hotel even offers breakfast included, which is a nice perk.
The only downside was the lack of storage space in the rooms.

The hotel has a great communal vibe while still offering privacy in its rooms. The artistic decor added a unique touch to the experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the rooftop bar's stunning views and the quality of the food at Simon and the Whale. I'd recommend this hotel for a fun, artsy stay in the city.

The Explore Quad rooms at Freehand New York are just so cozy and welcoming, perfect for our group of friends. The vibe and decor make it feel like a home away from home.
I wish the bathroom was a bit bigger, but it's not a deal-breaker.

The location was perfect, as it was close enough to walk to most main attractions in NYC, yet not in the busy areas. The room was clean and nicely equipped, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the reasonably priced breakfast at the nearby restaurant, and there were plenty of dining options around the hotel.
The front desk staff could have been more accommodating.
Bert

What a cool spot to kick it at! The room vibes were on point with trendy decor and a super comfy bed that could set the mood with its lighting. Bath time was a treat with a spacious shower and those plush bath robes. The staff was top-notch with super helpful front desk peeps and some seriously rad housekeeping crew, making every day a breeze. A tad noisy around but, hey, you gotta get real picky to find fault here. ✌️

I chose this hotel for a business mixer and was impressed by the rare artistic undertaking, offering a unique opportunity to live, work, and exhibit at the hotel. Additionally, all five of its bars and restaurants were ideal for any type of meeting.
The one service I missed for my work was a dedicated business center to facilitate last-minute tasks.

My room was superb, newly renovated and eco-friendly. The service was fantastic with thoughtful amenities. The coffee shop had delicious bagels and coffee, and the lobby restaurant and bars were great. The hotel's style and vibe, along with the gym, arcade, and nearby landmarks, made the stay enjoyable for my family. The relaxation facilities like the sun terrace and TV room added to our bonding experience. The surrounding area offered a local feel and good dining options with less crowd.

Our stay at Freehand was fantastic! The location was perfect - within walking distance to most main attractions in the city and close to subway stations for further exploration. We booked the spacious 3's Company room and were pleasantly surprised by its size. The room had great facilities, including a functional bathroom and a smart TV that could be connected to our phones for streaming. We even had a view of the Empire State Building, which was a nice touch. The hotel itself had excellent amenities, including trendy bars, a cafe, and restaurants. Although the rooftop bar was a bit too edgy for our taste, the staff were all amazing. They made my birthday special by giving us drink tokens and leaving a thoughtful card with beers in the room. They also managed to accommodate our request for rooms near each other. a fun and family-friendly atmosphere with great city access.

The hotel’s location was very convenient being close to the metro stations and lines that lead towards the heart of the city and the Grand Central terminal. The center of the building has a unique vibrant atmosphere and the staff were friendly. The room was well-designed with a comfortable bed and a big clean bathroom.
It would have been nice to see more variety in the breakfast menu, but the overall experience was worth it.

The beverage menu offers a curated selection of natural wines and signature cocktails that perfectly complement the lively social experiences at the hotel. The restaurant serves award-winning Latin American food with influences from Mexico to Brazil and beyond. The skilled bartenders shake up delicious concoctions with fragrant herbs and exotic ingredients.
Who needs to see what they're doing, right?

I had a great experience at Freehand. The staff were friendly and very helpful, even going above and beyond to assist with transferring my forgotten passport to the airport. The quad bunk room was surprisingly comfortable, with super comfy beds. The hotel had a cute boho decor and the central location was perfect for exploring the city. a great place to stay in NYC.
Nothing to mention.

My recent stay at Freehand was fantastic. The room was clean and nicely put together, with all the amenities I could want. The little extras like the bathrobe, slippers, and complimentary water were a nice touch. And when I had a bad cold, there was an endless supply of tissues in the room. Plus, the location was perfect for exploring the city. I highly recommend staying at Freehand.
