Pros: boutique vibe, lovely inner courtyard/pool area that's fun and lively but low key. Small and not overwhelming, just a few minutes walk from public beach access. Room has all the essentials. Cons: No internet! Wasnt working entire time I was there, with no apology. No one to help with bags though some rooms (mine) only accessible by staircase. Generally quite run down and the renovation they did was minimal so there's a lapsed quality to everything. No foot at restaurant before nighttime, no cafe for morning coffee, but sign saying "no outside food or drink"!

Very beautiful i would recommend it to friends. I rented bed 3 in dorm 4 Feb. 13th to 18th the table by my bed side was filled with trash that seemed to not belong to anyone in the dorm at the time. I was not able to use the table until I asked the other men staying with me if they knew what it was. 2 days later I asked the cleaning person to take the trash with her. Whatever it was it also left a bad smell like rotting food.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The only positive is the location. It is extremely close to the beach and you can walk in the neighbourhood and there is access to public transportation. I rented a guesthouse which is a private room instead of the dorms. Let me tell you that for the hight price I paid, I had to ask several times for the cleaning team to come clean my room. You ask for something and never get it until it becomes a joke. Half the personnel was competent and happy to serve customers and half were incompetent and never respecting the order of the line up at the counter. My stay at the Freehand was not worth the money I spent. If you are only looking for a spot with an incredible location, then go for it.

Terrible place, I wonder from who these all positive reviews! Very dirty! When I arrived it was extremely not clean, with garbage from previous guests! I stayed at another freehand location in other cities, and it was good. But this is just horrible, never again. The room smelled very bad, I have no idea if was it carpet or the property was just very old, the smell was there during the stay.
