This hotel really deserves a 5/5. It's small and cozy but not short on staff to be ever helpful. The staff always seemed to care about doing a good job - opening doors, grabbing bags, serving coffee, getting taxis, checking departure flight information, etc. The extra amenities in the room (suit press, printer with fax machine, wireless internet, rotating TV... more

Staying at the San Want Residences while writing this review. Have spent over 25 nights there I think this year.

Beware! You'd better learn to read Chinese or don't bother booking their "Happy Birthday" special birthday rate--you just might end up having to pay twice as much for the room. A big error in their English room rate description for this offer, which the staff, all non-native English speakers, insisted was correct. What a joke. Out of town and a... more

I didn't know I couldn't live without rain shower before I spent two weeks at San Want Residences. It was refreshing in addition to their refreshing assorted toiletry I must admit I enjoyed. The fragrant salt to Japanese-style bath was also nice although the bath itself requires an acquired taste. The staff was helpful and courteous when I needed them,... more

*This review is for the San Want Residences NOT the Hotel* MY TRAVEL STYLE: If possible, I try to stay away from business and strongly prefer resorts that resemble the Four Seasons, Aman, and Oberoi but try to find similar properties at lower cost. I seek out the “wow” experiences and I encourage you to view hotels I have stayed... more
