Everything was great, would have liked a spare blanket, the window didn’t close properly (not a problem) but it did make it a little drafty. Great atmosphere at roof top bar.

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.

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
