San Want Residences is a very lovely and well-appointed hotel, with a staff that provides above-and-beyond service. For example, during my stay, we were booked to spend 2 days at the Silks Place Taroko hotel in Taroko Gorge. On the evening before we were scheduled to take the train to Hualien, I asked the front desk of SWR if they... More

This place is a beautifully decorated and equipped. And all the little extras the hotel provides really made it feel luxurious. The rooms generously sized and nicely furnished. The staff is well-trained and you can tell that they are willing to go the extra mile for guests. We would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely stay there again.

My family and I recently paid a visit to Taipei for four days and stayed at San Want Residence. It was a pleasant stay in general and the location of this hotel is very convenient. It is however, not a five star hotel in my opinion, as the facility in general is not up to the standard. But it is... More

You prefer a smaller and cozier hotel over big chains, you want to be really treated like a king, you want value for money - go for the San Want Residences. From the very first moment till the good-bye, we felt at home. Friendliness is being lived in this hotel and this holds true for employees at the reception, the... More

Was just looking through my photos from my eight-night stay here in April 2009. The rooms, lobby, all public areas were absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly, and the location convenient - just a short walk from the subway station. My room, which looked out on a park, was large and comfortable - except for the temperature, which was too... More

San Want Residences is not your run of the mill business hotel. Compared to similar class establishments I've stayed at in Taipei (Far Eastern Shangri-la, Palais de Chine, Tango, etc), San Want may appear to be an older venue and it is a smaller hotel and without a swimming pool. What sets it apart is the impeccable emphasis in good... More
