The location in the Gramercy /Flatiron area is excellent for exploring the city. It is easy to walk to Midtown, Chelsea, the West Village, and the East Village. The subway is very close. There are plenty of good food options nearby and nice parks within a ten minute walk. We stayed in a premium king and a private quad. The premium king was a good size room for NYC. The private quad was small, but a rare find of four beds in one room and large enough for four teenagers to comfortably stay for four nights. All of the beds were comfortable. We had no problems with noise (15th floor). We were happy with our choice to stay at the Freehand.

Great location, kind and helpful staff. Clean and welcoming. The bunk bed rooms were perfect for our group of 4 - a mom with 3 young woman.

This hotel is very conveniently located to visit family in Manhattan. We love the little coffeeshop off the lobby and the available bottled water, also the chocolate! Desk staff and housekeeping staff are very friendly. There are many restaurant choices and grocery stores nearby. The frig in the room is very tiny, but handy!

The hotel is very easy to get to by metro or Lyft/Uber/Taxi. It's on the way to almost everything in the city so a quick stop is never a problem. The lobby is small but very cozy, warm, and lively. Elevators are very quick and staff are friendly. The room is excellent, very efficient, tastefully decorated with wood, and the shower is amazingly warm and high pressure. We'll definitely be staying there again.

Old but very classy design. It has a great Charme! Really enjoyed my hotel room, it was so spacious which is hard to find in New York! I was allowed to check in early which was really nice!
