What guests think

Wanstead Hotel draws mixed feedback: travellers often praise its convenient location near tube links, low prices, and friendly staff, while others describe worn furnishings and variable upkeep across cleaning standards and minor maintenance.

Parking is mentioned as available but limited, and there is no on-site dining or breakfast. Common room concerns include small sizes, creaky beds, and missing toiletries or small items, though a few guests found the rooms comfortable enough for short stays. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills base rather than a polished stay.

Lovely host. Clean sheets and fresh towels each day but the room is tired and could do with a deep clean. Bathroom also needs some attention. No food options on site, although there is a tescos in walking distance. Parking is limited. That said, not a bad price given location, will probably be back.

My stay here was good, although the room was a bit sparse of anything, such as a teaspoon for hot drinks and some shower gel in the shower, these would’ve been appreciated. Also, a large amount of dust in the bathroom.

Good location but the room was very hot with no working air con, the room had two beds but only one was made with no spare bedding, the pillows were awful and bedding was clean but stained, beds were very creaky, none of the small lights worked, all bedside tables were fighting for their life to stay upright, nowhere to put clothes, no soap or shower gel in the shower, and as for the towels - see the photo! Didn’t smell but could be cleaner, host was friendly however. Would not stay again.

Adequate for a one night stay away on a business trip. Room had iron, hairdryer, TV and tea/ coffee making facilities. However room was very small. No breakfast available. Reception not permanently staffed and doorbell must be rung to gain access on arrival. I was also woken up in the early hours by a loud and lengthy conversation - presumably someone checking in late. Might stay again at a push but not if an alternative was available.

Asked for 3 single beds on booking details via Expedia, but unfortunately wasn’t available up on arrival. Info not showing on hotel system? Had to settle for a double & single, receptionist did try to accommodate. The room & bathroom was clean with hot fast flowing water. Not the biggest of bathrooms. Just a few little picky things: The kettle was too large to fit in the sink / under the tap for water. The room could have had a couple of pictures of the local area / London etc. Maybe a splash of colour on one wall instead of just white with grey carpet. I would recommend & use again for good value for money.

Basic hotel with small room but comfy bed, decent shower and tv. Location good 10 min walk from Wanstead and Snaresbrook tube stations. Rooms are at a no frills price so was surprised to find tea and coffee making and a scent diffuser. Sadly there were no spoons, the milk cartons were off and the scent had run out
