We were a group of 3 girls visiting NYC for the weekend. The Freehand was a great experience. Location was awesome, felt safe, and very central so we walked everywhere we needed to go. The lobby vibe and design is really cool. We were in a Three's Company room with full bed plus twin bunk. The room was small, but used the space efficiently and it was nice to have the bunk option to fit three of us!

Good location, easy to find, and only a few minutes from 23rd St station. Staff at front desk and housekeeping were friendly and quick. Elevators were comfortable and efficient. Bunk beds and bathroom were comfortable enough. Refrigerator provided, although very shallow. Daily housekeeping.

Great attention to interior decor makes for a vrey pleasant place to stay. Super entusuiastic staff love helping people. Very easy check in and check out. Such a cool building, great shower, great view.

comfortable furnitures made of woods and moody lightings made of porcelain. if there was bathtub, it’s excellent.

location, unique space, helpful staff and good food.

The Freehand Hotel is a nice jewel of a place for you to stay at, whether solo or with someone. The front desk is so friendly and helpful and the location in Gramercy gives you great access to explore the city.

The location was key to my stay. Your in walking distance from the sub and attractions throughout NY.

Three's Company room is a great idea for families or any party that could use a separate single bed. Hotel had a nice vibe and was in a great location.

it was clean and stuff was very friendly. i liked the second floor where you can read, work, have a drink.. restaurant is a plus too. Close to the metro station. lots of coffee places around. “Friends experience “ across the street. Food market one block down. free bottles of water at the lobby. Stuff was very nice and was patiently answering all the stupid questions guests had.

room was quieter than my last room on the 10th floor
