This property is great for a group trip with a couple of friends! We stayed in a private quad room and it was perfect for the weekend. Having individual bunk beds for everyone worked out well and we loved that there were outlets on each bunk. The rooftop bar was the best part of our entire trip. Drinks were amazing, they had live music (not guaranteed every night), ambient lighting, and the view of downtown LA was the ultimate vibe. The lobby decor is classy, yet casual, the coffee shop downstairs had good coffee and breakfast options, and the valet driver was super friendly. The only thing I would say that could be better is thicker blankets for the beds. We made the mistake of leaving the AC on all night and we woke up freezing. Can’t say anything about the non-hostel style rooms, but after a long day at theme parks and hanging out all night at the rooftop, the beds definitely did their job. 10/10 would recommend for a boys/girls trip or even a weekend getaway for a couple. Will definitely return with my wife.

My overall stay at Freehand LA was good. The staff were kind and helpful, there were a lot of things to do (eat, explore, transpo) within walking distance, and the overall hotel vibe is edgy at an affordable price. However, there are some things that didn't quite work for me, which are as follows: 1) worn out & thin beddings 2) dim light 3) really slow elevator 4) rooftop wasn't available for sunrise watch 5) lobby event music was loud even after 10pm 6) lounge area outlets weren't working and 7) there are no windows in the gym and lounge area which can feel claustrophobic and stuffy. In spite of all these observations, I still recommend Freehand LA if you are a budget traveller who likes to stay within the DTLA area.

The staff were great, esp valet! Everyone was friendly, helpful & kind. We stayed on the 13th floor below the rooftop pool & it was so quiet in our room. Loved the view. The rooftop pool was great, including the bar, even though we did bring a toddler to the pool & no one said anything that’s clearly not the vibe. The cafe downstairs had an amazing ‘spicy chai’ tea with pistachio milk. I loved it. Overall this was somewhere I’d stay again.
