We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. As soon as the taxi stopped at the front of the hotel, a couple of porters approached, one opening the taxi door for me and the other taking the luggage from the 'boot' of the taxi. I was promptly given a receipt for the number of luggage I had and directed to... More

I arrived at 7am (from San Francisco), this is the only hotel that we checked among a few that would let me check in charging only half price - the other wanted a whole night of payment. The location is a delight, got to see the young and vibrant side, many eating places are 24 hours. A short walk around... More

If you are looking for a modern, classy place this may not be the best place for you, but if you want clean rooms with a lot of space and a great price I would suggest you give them a try. There is absolutely nothing modern about the rooms. Everything does have a very 70s hotel feel to it, from... More

I was in Taipei for work and stayed at the San Want for a week. I agree with a lot of the folks on here. The hotel was nice, but had a few minor drawbacks. Pros: *Great location (close to 101 and TICC) *Really good breakfast *Very friendly and helpful staff *decent TV channels *friendly cleaning personnel *reliable wifi Cons:... More

I stayed here for business over a twelve day stretch. Room 1116. All things considered, is is a nice hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. The cleaning staff was superb when compared to just about every other place I've ever stayed. I work from the hotel room quite a bit, and it's always a challenge to get... More

I have always stayed at this hotel during my business trip to Taiwan. Location wise, it is very convenient as it is just 3mins walk to the MRT. (Zhongxiao Dunhua MRT station) Hotel is located at the Zhōngxiào East Rd. Lots of eateries and shopping around. The room is average. Beds are quite hard and amenities are nothing fancy. But... More

I stayed one night in San Want hotel on my business trip. I expected very little and this is exactly what I got. The location of the hotel is great – very close to MRT, a lot of eateries around, SOGO department store, 101 etc. But, this is about all god points about the hotel. The bed was huge but... More

Quite happy with the hotel service. Just that do take note that different rooms have different layouts and bathroom sizes. Like my room (604) has a huge bathroom but a weird layout where the bed faces a wall (we had to sit on the side of our beds to watch tv), but my friend's at 528 had a really small... More

The four of us stayed in a room with a king sized bed and two singles. It was clean and comfortable, and reasonably spacious. Staff was polite and helpful. The train station was just a short walk away and very convenient. Cabs were also easy to find. Lots of eateries and shops around the area.

We stayed in Room 826 for 5 days. I thought we booked a family room but it turns out only to be a queen bed and a double bed. The room was okay, less spacious than it appeared in the photo. But the staff were very courteous and helpful and you absolutely cannot beat the location. There are so many... More
