It was only a short stay for one day after my late night flight, and I left at around 6am for the further sightseeing.
Location is great, not really far from the metro station (around 10mins walk) which is on the same line as Union Station. Not far from all the touristy spots (central library, walt disney music hall, central library, central market...etc) in downtown, all walking distance!
It's located in a building with elevator, with a pool (unfortunately I didn't have chance to check it) and the staff is super helpful and friendly!
Room is nice, not big very pretty functional, and there is a shared bathroom in the room.
Overall this was a very great experience with the price! Highly recommended to those travellers with budgets.

I enjoyed my stay at Freehand. Coffee shop and comfortable seating in the lobby (and some beautiful butterfly not so comfy seating, too). Has a very organic vibe with lots of plants, which I love. The rooftop restaurant and bar had an interesting crowd. Service was hit or miss. I'm not sure how often people actually eat there, but the ceviche was very good, and I'm a bit of a picky eater.

We gave our car to the valet, and the valet hit and scratched it. He also claimed he didn’t do anything. Since the car was a rental, we had to pay $400, and nothing was done about it.

Absolutely terrible. Yes the roof top and lobby look nice but don’t be fooled. First room I was put with 60+ year old men who had 3 suitcases each and something disturbing under their blanket. Woke up to this old man staring at me and leaning over my bed. He was wearing a hat with plastic still on. Requested to be moved but they said they were full. I took the chance and stayed in the same room again but my friend shared the same bed rather than us being in seperate. Again, he was in and out every 2 hours and seemed dodgy. My friend woke up to feet near her bed, leant forward and he pretends to be asleep on the bed next to her.
Moved rooms finally and not long after returning to my new room I had security banging the door and showing us footage of a man on cctv asking if we had seen him. He was sat in the corner of my room. I assumed he was staying in the room as he had a key. Turns out he had stolen a load of stuff from our room, including all of the girls bags in the bunk near me. He was not a guest. This whole experience has terrified me and I strongly suggest never staying here. My friends checked out early and so I was left by myself which ruined my whole experience. Because I had spent money on this hostel I couldn’t afford to pay for new accomodation. Didn’t even get anything to say sorry or offered any money back to get new accom
