    Comfortable beds, friendly staff and central location make it good value. There is a big lounge area and coffee bar on the ground floor and the Broken Shaker bar also onsite is nice.

    Great place to stay, eat, and drink (coffee or cocktails). The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, and the happy hour is really solid. Great place to hang out and chill or meet people.

    A hostel style hotel. Great accommodations, the coffee shop does GREAT coffee and are super friendly. The cocktail bar out back, dark and unsocial for the solo traveller.

    10/10 totally satisfied. I payed 20€/night. Professionals, very clean, excellent taste on the decoration. In the centre of the city... I could not ask for anything more! Totally suggested

    Where to begin! This place blows any other hostel out of the water. Cafe Integral is a wonder. Delicious, high-quality coffee right in the lobby.

    Atmosphere and interior - that's what I liked the most! Rooms are tiny, but clean and cozy. You can get just one piece of cake or one bun for a breakfast also fruit and drinks.

    They have Café Integral, a Nicaraguan coffee café by the lobby. Past the elevators, you’ll be welcomed to Broken Shaker, a tiki/tropical cocktail bar.

    Have loved all the Freehand hotels (MIA/NYC/DTLA) the Chicago one however is not up to snuff. Basically a hostel. Cannot recommend.

    It’s a nice hotel, small but clean rooms, bit noisy at times (it’s part hostel so what do you expect).

    tiny rooms, overpriced (at $200+ per night), zero amenities, un-stocked (had to ask for shampoo/soap), aggressive housekeeping (before 9am), staff are snobby.

    Fue agradable la estancia. No hablan otro idioma y algunos recepcionistas no tienen paciencia. Es caro, pero está en el corazón de Chicago Downtown
