10/10 Recommendation

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!

Great property! So beautiful. We were in town for an Astros game and this was the best hotel for us. There is a free metro just right across the street that took us right to the stadium! Even better, they offer free parking so we really saved a lot of money staying at this beautiful hotel.

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.

Right next to the Houston Metro and we used it so much that next time I am not getting a rental car. The Pepperoni Pizza served across the street was some of the best pizza I have had in years.

No other place could NEVER. My room was so unique , elegant and beautiful ! I have never seen anything like it an so creative with the designs! I can go on and on ! If you’re ever in the Houston Area book here trust me you will NOT be disappointed! Well you will be if you book anywhere else🤷🏿‍♀️ Awesome staff great owner !
