We were upgraded from our reservation at the Wyndham Hotel LA to the Freehand Hotel. I was hesitant at first and worried that there are roaches inside. We already had dinner reservations for the restaurant inside but wanted to explore LA. I am SO glad I took the upgrade as this hotel is MUCH MUCH nicer than the Wyndham Hotel. Our welcome to the city was such a nice surprise with excellent service. We were a family of 6 and had plenty of room in the 2 bedroom room. We only stayed one night so our experience was amazing. I could, however, see feeling disappointed by the toilets. It’s a bit dirty. The pool is very nice but was pretty warm when we used it. Loved the stocked fridge with drinks and the morning breakfast basket (though we didn’t really eat it). Dinner and breakfast was a dream. The food, views, service…it was perfect.

It is a hybrid property, which encompasses both shared and private rooms. They DO have quality control standards. The rooms tend to be somewhat irregularly laid out, not having great widow space as some of the pictures would suggest. The furnishings are starting to show their age and will soon require a renovation.The location is in the heart of the city and has easy access to just about anywhere you want to do. If they raised the bar to the level of their sister-company GENERATOR, it would be AWESOME!!! Otherwise, it does look like the UK outfit is trying to milk as much money as they can, without putting a dime into it.

Not a great hotel. First night we got there, the AC in the room was not working. I rang down but no answer. I went to the front desk and told them and they said they would send maintenance up. We went outside to wait for our Uber Eats and whilst waiting, a group of girls and security stormed out the hotel and were screaming in the street, it appeared there had been a fight on the rooftop bar. We went back into the room and I rang again, they stated they would send maintenance up. I rang for a 3rd time and was told 5/10 minutes, no one came. We gave up and went to bed. I spoke to reception the next morning and they said they would send someone up whilst we were out for the day as long as the Do Not Disturb sign was off the door. Once we arrived back, the room had not been fixed. I rang down again & complained. They then moved us to a different room on the same floor, which was much nicer and the facilities actually worked. The original room was pretty small and did not have a hairdryer in it. The beds were quite uncomfortable in both rooms we had. The lights seemed to be activated by motion sensor but would randomly turn off when we had showers. The rooftop bar was nice although they were out of stock of the items we ordered. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

Amazing hotel, great atmosphere! Amazing fancy soap! (Which is very impressive) Will definitely stay here again if ever in the area! Very close to transit! And lots of good restaurants. The pool closes quite early and then becomes a 21 only bar which wasn't great for us travelling with a 5 year old, so we didn't get to enjoy the pool. But other than that we got upgraded to a better room right away without having to ask! The room didn't have a kettle or a microwave so making a late night snack was a bit difficult. Amazing people! Definitely a highlight in our trip to LA!

This place was amazing. Will definitely come back. Affordable. Has a "vibe". I found the shared rooms to be clean and comfortable. The customer service was kind and efficient. The downstairs coffee and breakfast was amazing. The lobby was relaxing, spacious, cozy, and classy. The evening live music was intriguing. The Saturday house music pool party on the roof was mind blowing with the LA skyline around me. It felt like a new discovery was waiting for me every time I returned to the hostel.
THEN!
John and the security team very kindly mailed me an item I left there with ease and understanding. 10/10.
