This property is located within walking distance to restaurants and bars which is convenient. The beds here are the most comfortable ever it feels like sleeping on a fluffy cloud of air!
Check-in was smooth, the clerk was very kind courteous and accommodating. We were treated very, very well. No crowds, easy in and out without any hassles.
Such a fun, unique hotel! They have thought of every detail…including towel warmers! Fun restaurants within walking distance. Can’t wait for our next trip to Houston.
Great stay! Clean and convenient location. The bed was super comfortable! Only a very minor gripe, I wish they'd had hand towels for drying after hand washing, not just 2 washcloths and 2 bath towels.
The perfect boutique hotel!
Property was safe (doors locked after a certain hour). Staff was welcoming, common areas were very clean, room was clean and comfortable.
Our stay at Wanderstay Boutique was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Their friendliness and professionalism truly set the tone for our visit. The hotel itself was spotless, with every corner meticulously clean and well-maintained.
The location was perfect—just a short distance from the city’s main attractions, making it easy to explore without any hassle. Whether we were heading out for sightseeing or returning for some rest, everything was so convenient.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience for us as a couple. The combination of top-notch service, cleanliness, and prime location made it a memorable and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed my stay at Wanderstay Boutique Hotel. The hotel has a unique vibe with its themed rooms which was both fun and comfortable. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design.
The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. They were also very knowledgeable about the area and gave me some great tips on where to eat and what to see.
The location is fantastic—right in East Downtown, close to lots of cool spots. I loved being able to explore the area without needing to drive everywhere.
If you’re looking for a place with character, great service, and a convenient location, Wanderstay is a great choice. I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Houston!
This is a small but super nice hotel in an interesting part of Houston. We weren’t there long enough to get to know the area but it seems to be trendy while at the same time a bit industrial. No walkable but tons of parking. The room itself was ideal for me and my daughter with basically 2 separate rooms and bathrooms and an adjoining door. The breakfast is just cereal and tea/coffee in a shared kitchen. I’d stay here again.
The Wanderstay is a fantastic place to stay! The area is under going construction but will soon be thriving.
We were in town for the TCU vs UH football game. The Metro train was a major plus and I wasn’t even aware of it when I booked. The train is literally around the corner and is so convenient for all Houston sport events!
The rooms all have separate themes and the building was once a warehouse! Smart design and beautiful aesthetics inside. Love supporting small business owners, too! Stay there, you won’t regret it!
