Freehand Los Angeles

- Good location in downtown LA; many restaurant options nearby, Whole Foods on the other side of the street - Rooms are very clean and spacious - Staff friendly (early check-in was possible without extra costs or waiting time) - View from the rooftop is excellent - Modern interior

The food in the hotel lobby was tasty.

great location in the heart of downtown LA, spacious rooms and bedroom inside room which is more convenient than anything i've experienced at other hostels. receptionist upgraded me to a female-only shared room as opposed to what i booked for no extra charge. appreciated that!

I stayed one night only in a 8-beds-rooms, on the top bunker bed, the bed is more comfortable than I expected and the shared bathroom is clean, my room is on the 5th floor, with the window facing the inner light well, its not a good will but the ventalization is fine. The highlight is definitely the rooftop bar and pool which open to guest staying and visitor with an extra fee, I got to the bar after 2000 and the whole area is alive, the pool is illuminated with changing LED light and there are DJ booth on the back and a quite large bar table near the entrance

I had great roommates and met great people from all over the world and U.S. In the room I shared, the room is split into two sections. The first is where there's a small entry area immediately when you enter the door with 4 lockers and the bathroom (you can bring your own lock and only you and your roommates have access to this area and the bedroom area). Even sharing a bathroom was great as my roommates were respectable and clean, and I bought extra bleach for the shower floor to clean up after myself and bathroom spray for everyone to share from Whole Foods, which is about 1 block away. There's a doorway to the 2nd section of the room where there were 4 beds (i.e. 2 sets of bunkbeds) and a small armless love seat-type couch. I had one of the bottom bunks. The bunks were very sturdy, and each had a light for reading AND 2 outlets each--AMAZING!!! There were curtains and the end of the bed (where your feet go) to block out the sunlight from the huge window. In addition, each set of bunds had 2 hooks that allowed hanging space for each person occupying the bunks. I have never stayed in a hostel (nor have I ever had roommates), and I found this to be an extremely fun experience! Overall, I loved it! I would TOTALLY do it again!
