Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Wanstead Hotel is appreciated for its convenient location, notably near the Central line and within walking distance of a large Tesco. Guests often find the rooms spacious, fresh, and quiet, with comfortable beds. A fridge is a welcome amenity in the rooms. Some guests have mentioned minor issues with the room's decor or some fixtures' quality; however, the hotel is considered excellent value for money, especially for those attending events at the O2, which is about 15 minutes away by car.
