It’s mostly like hotel, very clean. Great location. No vide of hostel. They have only dinning room with 4table for the whole hotel. It’s very small with no basic of the kitchen.

As a first hostel experience, I almost worried that The Freehand LA set the bar too high. The rooms were clean, and offered an appropriate amount of privacy and comfort for the environment, and I loved lounging at the rooftop pool. Would definitely return to stay here again.
