Great location, good sized rooms, nicely appointed hotel with good amenities and good breakfast buffet. I sometimes stay at the nearby Okura Prestige, which I consider a 5 star hotel. The San Want is similar in many respects, but probably 1 star lower, although it is still a very nice hotel. The San Want basic rooms are smaller than the Okura rooms, but the prices are also lower so it is good value for price. Only issue I have w the San Want is the hotel is near the elevated highway, so some of the rooms on the front of the hotel have some traffic noise

Dear MT, Thank you so much for your positive comments regarding our location, guest rooms, amenities and breakfast. We are b business hotel with only 81 rooms, it is our honor that you compared us to other mega-sized hotels from famous international brands in Taipei. We must admit that the facilities of our hotel is not top-notch, but we do believe that individualized approach to each guest is the key to great service and we are so excited that we were successful in your case. And with regards to the challenges you have experienced with the traffic noise, we are sorry for any inconvenience which might have caused during your stay. We appreciate all the comments from our guests, as they help us to improve the quality of service we provide our guests. Your opinion has been passed on to the relevant department heads for review. We hope those issues will not affect your overall impression on our hotel. However, please understand that the hardware of a hotel is not easy to change in a short period of time, but we are planning to upgrade our room facilities in the upcoming fiscal year, and your suggestion will definitely be taken into consideration. If you would like to stay with us next time, for avoiding the street noise, we do have the rooms face to the street (studio room and studio suite).

We had a great stay. Thank you, Ms.Penny and all the hotel employees for making our stay special. These people are in the hospitality business not in the business of business. Great location right next to literally hundreds of eateries, 7-11's, and family marts. About a five-minute walk to the subway, malls, and shopping. Great park right in front of the hotel. Nice size room, great large bathroom with rainforest shower with world record water pressure, a Japanese style Ohnsen bathtub, and a wonderful Japanese Toto toilet. Good Asian and Western buffet breakfast. Attentive and responsive Restaurant staff. The room was always spotlessly clean. Can't find fault with this hotel. Not getting paid to write this review. My wife and I will be back again.

The assigned room was spacious and next to a 24 hour McDonald's. Although the hotel was quite a walk from the nearest MRT, the cleanliness of the room and its excellent service from the staff compensated for such shortcomings. I was very impressed with the shower room and toilet. It was just spotless. Honestly I was clueless how the housekeeping team managed to keep up to that kind of standard! It was very comfortable staying in the room with a bed mattress of the right firmness. The breakfast was standard but reasonably delicious. The hotel was clean, safe and most importantly, I woke up feeling well rested and refreshed.

Title says it all, affordable luxury. Hotels in Taipei can be really expensive with really small rooms. But this residence hotel doesn’t follow this trend. With low number of rooms in the property, the hotel able to maintain it’s quality of service and rooms and not asking for a premium rate. There’s even higher category with better room amenities if you wish to upgrade your stay (with Frette sheets). I was surprised with the room (mainly because of what I paid for) as compare to other hotels I’ve stay. This supposed to be only a budget stay, but turns out to be a decent one. The hotel apparently had won numerous of awards in the past. Overall room quality was good - love the shower and the tub! There were some spot which can be improve and probably refurbish like to include electronic curtains etc. Breakfast spread was decent here too - no frills. Would come back again if in the same area.…

I like this hotel the people were very nice. I did not like the breakfast. it seemed a bit far from MRT which is too bad since the MRT is such a great way to get around . The room looked at the park it was ok. I did not like breakfast. The too complicated Toilet is silly. the square step down bath , not great.

Dear Gene G, Thank you very much for taking the time to review your stay at San Want Residences Taipei. The step down bath and the automated toilet you mentioned in your review, are actually two of our most popular room facilities. Automated toilet is almost a must-have for people in Japan and some neighboring Asian countries. As to the square-shaped sunken bathtub, usually you can only find this kind of tubs at some luxurious resort hotels in Poitou and ChiaoHsi. It might look a little bit unique at the first glance but it is really relaxing, especially after a long day doing business or sightseeing. Speaking of our location, I must admit that it is indeed not as perfect as those situated right next to the MRT stations. But look on the bright side, a 7-8 minute walking distance from the stations guarantees a relatively tranquil environment and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel where you can get almost anything you need. We are delighted to read that you found our staff very nice and we do hope our sincere service will compensate for the location issue which we really have no way to improve. Thank you once again for staying with us. We look forward to welcoming you back someday soon. San Want Residences Taipei

The first thing to say about this hotel has to be the level of service. All of the staff were well versed in their jobs, competent, and pleasant. Almost everyone spoke English to some degree, and were always happy to accommodate. There is a nice park directly across the street, and countless restaurants in the area. It is also close close to both the expressway, and to the subway. The rooms were well appointed, and perfectly clean. Our only complaint (slight as it is) was the mattress was a little firm for our liking, but that really is more of a personal taste.

Dear keifco, Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us recently and for taking the time to share your experience. While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed the superb location of our hotel and the warm service from our team, we regret that the mattress did not meet your expectations and we do apologize for this imperfection. Though we are not planning to change mattresses any time soon, as guest satisfaction is our top priority, we will be more than happy to add an extra soft duvet under the mattress pad to adjust the firmness of the mattress for you. Our front desk is staffed 24 hours a day with staff members speak fluent Japanese and English (by the way, we also have a staff who speaks Spanish!). They are all very enthusiastic and always willing to help in any way they can. If there is anything we can do to make your next stay more pleasant and comfortable, please do let us know. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest and we would be delighted to welcome you back to the hotel, hopefully in the not too distant future! San Want Residences Taipei

Dear Eric, Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review about your stay at San Want Residences Taipei. We are glad that you enjoyed so many aspects of our hotel, and we are extremely grateful for your compliments regarding our service and staff.
