Wanstead Hotel

Polite nice accommodation. Well kept rooms Will use as often as I can. Close to local shops. 5star thumbs up

Good value for the price in Wanstead area. Kind and friendly staff

It’s very good value for money 😇

I stayed here because it was near the area of a concert I was attending. Otherwise, it is quite far from the centre, although it is a lovely neighbourhood. The hostel is a 15 minute walk from the tube stops of Wanstead and Leytonstone. There are also some buses that stop in a small park that is close. There is a bit of noise at night because there is a hospital nearby and you can hear the ambulances, but nothing that some earplugs can't fix. The hotel is very basic and I actually expected more seeing the photos. There is no lift and the reception desk is open limited times. I just saw the owner when I arrived and as soon as I did, she disappeared. They give you the front door and the room keys. In the room there were a very useful kettle and also a cup and some glasses. There was coffee (not decaf, but brought my own) and a jar with tea. There were also an iron with an ironing board and a hair dryer. It was a single room, so not too big, but OK for one. There were a couple of plugs for the phone and such. Also, a rack for the clothes, but just two old hangers. On the negatives, the glasses and the cup were not too clean. The spoon was actually full of dirt and didn't dare to use it. The bed was really uncomfortable and gave some bad backache. There was no shower gel or shampoo (the soap next to the basin is too far). The shower burnt my skin. No way to regulate the heat at all, I had to shower in a hurry, it was scalding my skin. It was also slippery, so beware with that. In general, needs some more cleaning and the furniture is tired. Looked nicer in the pics, but it's not the worst place I've been to. Although I definitely change that bed.

it was clean, easy to warm up the room, self contained, easy to access. your list above is otherwise irrelevant - there was no dining option , shopping or parking. but both leytonstone and wanstead / snaresbrook were in easy walking distance

Easy to find. Free parking. Close to the tube and local amenities.

As Always, a comfortable nights sleep with great food delivery places nearby or a short walk away. O'Neils if you want watch sports !!

Stayed here for a family party in Leytonstone so location was ideal. Room was very comfortable so just what we needed

This is an old apartment converted as a hotel. Rooms looks clean but it doesn't feel clean with old carpet and beds. I can see they are trying hard to make it clean and good but somehow it doesn't feel like a hotel.
