Freehand Los Angeles

This was a great spot for a quick trip. The building is beautiful, with a really cool lobby and shared spaces. It’s also within walking distance of a lot. The best part was the service. Every staff member was friendly and helpful, although Liz was a standout. At checkout time there were a lot of people demanding her attention and she handled everyone with patience and kindness. The rooms are definitely tight, so may not be the best for people with a lot of luggage. Make sure to checkout rooftop lounge & pool.

We got the rooms on a 50% off deal. Thank god because if we didn’t, over $150 for these rooms is just a disgrace. I’ve see motel rooms better than this for half the price. The big this was the added fees when you walk through the door. Over $300+ in fees when checking in. Even though one gets refunded that is absolutely ridiculous. Rooftop is always in maintenance so it was never open when we were there so that took away a massive part of going in the first place. Apparently this happened to other a lot prior Besides all of that. Location is great. Everything you need if ur on a budget is right here, train/bus can take you anywhere if you dont have a car. CVS, whole food, Dunkin’s right on the corner etc so that is all great. But it can be noisy but your DTLA so that is to be expected. there are much better hotels in the area. would not recommend staying here

I recently stayed at the Freehand Hotel in Los Angeles and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The main reason I booked this property was to enjoy the rooftop view. However, the rooftop was closed during my stay “because of rain,” even though we simply wanted to go up to take in the view and some fresh air. There is no clear policy stating that the rooftop closes for weather, and this should be communicated in advance, as it was a major factor in my booking decision. The rooms were also very small, with no lockers and no proper security. The surrounding neighborhood felt unsafe, with a strong smell of marijuana everywhere and many people experiencing homelessness right outside the hotel. This made the area feel uncomfortable to walk through, especially at night. Speaking of night, it was almost impossible to sleep due to noise and the overall lack of comfort. For the price, the quality of the service and facilities was shockingly low. I felt misled and honestly scammed. Many travelers I met there shared similar experiences, and the positive reviews online do not match the reality. Overall, I am very disappointed with my stay and cannot recommend this hostel. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and improves transparency and guest safety.

The Freehand Hotel in Downtown LA was a fantastic stay. They were incredibly responsive when we booked at short notice, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The room was extremely comfortable, and the staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. On top of that, the location is ideal for exploring DTLA. And all at a great price. Highly recommended.

We had a great week here exploring and learning about LA. We found some fun places near by and enjoyed the Hotel . There is a nice cafe and a rooftop bar to close your evening with a delicious cocktail! Thanks Freehand for a great stay. Ps the window seat is amazing for a good book and a cuppa coffee. I also loved the old architecture. PSS The WATER PRESSURE AND SHOWER WAS AMAZING!!
