Weird Experience

Feels more like a halfway house than a hostel. I was placed in a room with what must have been someone that had stayed there for some time. Totally felt as if I was invading his space. On top of that he had other guys sleeping in his bed pretty much every night that I was there. Super uncomfortable and inappropriate. Never interacted with any of the front desk staff other than checking in. It was clear that the staff has to know there are a massive amount of people that actually live there. The main entrance was one entrance while everyone living there entered another door. Super weird and not what I expected. Additionally, you’re pretty much forced to eat on-site given you can’t bring outside food in which got super expensive…everything is overpriced and is mediocre at best. Wouldn’t stay there again. And yes I could have complained, yet it’s obvious management is fully aware of the people living there. Really wasn’t the issue as much as it was that I was in a room with a guy and his boy toys. Didn’t ask to move, because I knew it wouldn’t be any better.

The hotel was nice and it was the perfect location for us BUT bring your earplugs because it felt like the street noise (lots of people hanging out by the bar across the street) was directly in the room.

In the market for a hostel and a delicious burrito truck across the street? Feehand is your place. Accurate recordkeeping and anything above and beyond? No. This isn't for you. I stayed 6 nights at the Freehand Hotel & Hostel. Hands down, it is the nicest hostel I've stayed at. You get the hotel amenities (Rooftop pool, yes please) and some delicious calamari at the bar. And the value, at ~$40/night for shared 4-8 bedroom accommodation is truly incredible. But wait. Order 2 drinks and guacamole at the rooftop and the math works out to $65. Burger for lunch? $3 overcharged. Extend your stay? You still need to check out, and check back in at the regular check-in time. Random $.02 credit card charge and a bill with even more errors? Yep, that too. So pick your poison. If I were more of means a lot of the above I wouldn't care about - though the checking out and checking back in when extending a stay I've never experienced. The really big things they get right: food, high value quality accommodations, and stellar amenities for a hostel. Attention to detail and accounting not quite there. Still, probably better than the 3* that google gives them. Oh, and the Burrito Truck? It's name is Taco Rodriguez. Do try it. It's delicious 2/15 Update: When I left I had an outstanding balance of $125. I dutifully paid it back, and tried to book another reservation. I was told I was banned. Why, I asked? I was not given an answer. Sadly, I can no longer recommend this establis
