Just had a 5 night stay here with my son. The staff were so friendly, especially the door staff. The hotel itself is definitely value for money especially given how much time we actually spent there during our trip. Room service and clean towels every day and a cool lounge area on the first floor, great for some quiet time. Smile to go cafe on the ground floor was our go to for breakfast, great service and food at reasonable prices.

Interesting, unique hotel in a great location, good and helpful staff, rooms are clean but generally small, which is not unusual for NYC hotels--convenient on-site restaurant, bar and coffee shop, plus a rooftop bar with beautiful views.

Freehand was a great place for my wife and I to stay on a short trip to NYC. The staff was excellent, the hotel was beautiful with interesting architecture, our room was comfortable and well appointed. The location was perfect for us, as were visiting our son in Gramercy. Would definitely recommend, and stay there again.

This hotel was clean and efficient. While the room was small, it still worked for 3 people. The sink was really tiny, but we made due. The beds, floor, and bathroom felt clean which is all I can ask at a hotel! The staff was helpful and the cafe in the lobby was great for coffee and breakfast. This was short trip so we didn't get to explore as much as I would've liked, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless.
