There is mold in the shower but overall the room was fine.

The best hostel I ever stayed in. I love the warm cozy hippie feel. Soon as you walk in. An updated hippie not old. Fancy front desk area. Smell of yummy coffee from coffee shop inside soon as I walked in. The lounge area with soft couches and cute tables. The awesome free breakfast and my faaaaavorite the cumcumber or mint water from your cute bar inside. I told all my family and friends on FB how awesome the Freehand is. I was very happy and pleased. Also the location and area is right in the downtown area easy to walk to attractions restaurants and shopping right vat your door step! Looooooved it!

lovely coffee spot and bar + food, great location, nice design room was small

Love the uniqueness and coziness. Feels like you are in Europe. The room was excessively chilly though (and we brought extra blankets after reading reviews that were the same)

Cozy atmosphere, cool looking buildings. Rooms are relatively small, space wise, but have high quality fixtures. Service is very good.

Good location. Friendly staff. The heater doesn’t work properly. You can hear people dancing, screaming, yelling whole night long and no one cares. Very small fitness center. Lack of equipment (but the huge bar) but the really disappointing thing is - you have to pay tons of money EACH day for parking. Never stay again. Sorry.

No good experience ,,too much dirty..the bathroom ,

Cool Art Deco design. Cozy, evocative, sexy. Fun part of town.
