This was the 6th time we have stayed at The Freehand. It is a bit run down but the price point used to be good and it's always been clean. This time it was pricier and we got to enjoy a lower floor room where they have a club night on Saturdays that goes until 3am. Our room was SHAKING from the base, I phoned reception and they offered earplugs. So you're going to piss off multiple floors of guests for the sake of your club night? (Read the trip advisor reviews, there are many that complain about this) If you get the lower rooms, you get so much noise you can't sleep. One night a guy in the neighbourhood screamed for 3 hours straight, every night there was so much street noise that sleep was patchy. If you can secure a room higher up and get a decent price, it's worth a stay but who can guarantee they're not going to get a low floor room? Simply not worth it. Last time for us after many good years

Shared a bunk room with 3 friends and while it was cozy, we really enjoyed the stay at Freehand! The housekeeping staff and folks helping with the baggages were super sweet - front desk staff are a little cold (not sure why- guess you can get a taste of both sides of New Yorkers!)

Went at a busier time of year, so prices were definitely higher than usual. It is fine but nothing special, very tight spaces, no bathroom trash can or surface area. The WiFi was not usable. Service was fine but nothing stellar. Expectations would have been lower had the price been a bit more fair :/ but I guess that’s demand

The best bang for your buck in NYC. The rooms feel big compared to what most rooms in the area offer. If you want something nicer or more luxurious, you're looking at a much higher step up in price. This is the best. Location is great and close to a lot of trains. Easy peasy.

Freehand New York is incredibly charming. Walking in the main entrance, you feel like you’re walking in to a modern day 1940s. It is cozy and classic, yet stylish and modern. The staff are incredibly friendly. It is situated between two restaurants, both with access doors in the actual restaurant. There’s a great bar on the second floor too! My room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were not an absolute disaster as they are with most hotels. For a New York hotel it was much larger than I was expecting. I would definitely recommend and will be staying there again.

Room and bathroom was very small but still very nice. No iron or ironing board in the room but staff brought them to us quickly. I love to walk around New York, and this is a great area to do that. If you don’t need a lot of space in your room I recommend this hotel. I wouldn’t mind using them again at all.
