Baan Sailom Hotel Phuket – Sha Extra Plus

Baan Sailom Hotel Phuket – Sha Extra Plus Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Baan Sailom Hotel Phuket – Sha Extra Plus, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. The name’s a bit of a mouthful, and you know how it is with three-star places in Phuket – they can really go either way. But this one actually surprised me in the best possible way.

The thing about Baan Sailom is that it feels more like staying at someone’s well-appointed home than a typical hotel. I mean, sure, it’s not going to compete with those massive resort complexes down by Patong, but honestly? That’s kind of the point. The staff here – and I’m talking about people who’ve clearly been working there for years, not just seasonal help – they remember your name by day two. There’s this genuine warmth that you don’t always find, especially at this price point. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully laid out, with these little touches like proper reading lights (you’d be amazed how many places skip this) and bathroom amenities that don’t feel like they came from a gas station. The air conditioning actually works well too, which is crucial during those humid Phuket afternoons when you just need to escape and recharge.

What really won me over, though, was the location and the vibe around the place. You’re not stuck in the chaos of the main tourist strips, but you’re not stranded either – it’s that sweet spot where you can walk to local spots that actually serve decent Thai food without the tourist markup. I discovered this little morning market just a few minutes away where locals do their shopping, and the hotel staff pointed me toward a motorcycle taxi stand that the guidebooks definitely don’t mention. The pool area is small but perfectly adequate, and there’s usually a nice breeze in the evenings when people gather around with drinks. I noticed they keep the common areas really well maintained – no broken tiles or flickering lights, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how often hotels let these details slide. The WiFi is solid throughout the property too, which matters if you’re trying to stay connected or upload those sunset photos. Look, it’s not luxury, but it’s genuine hospitality with an 8.6 rating that feels completely earned. If you want somewhere that feels authentic without sacrificing comfort, and where the staff treats you like a person rather than a room number, Baan Sailom delivers exactly that.

Hotels near me in Phuket offer convenient access to pristine beaches, where guests can easily walk to Phi Phi Islands ferry terminals, Big Buddha temple, and world-renowned beach clubs in tropical surroundings.

• James from United Kingdom (9/10)

  We cannot fault the room No 404 with a sea view that we were allocated. It was clean spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It also had a very good shower with lovely hot water and plenty of room and also had good air conditioning. The breakfast was well laid out and there was plenty of choice for everyone to choose from. As for the staff a special mention to Bright who was so welcoming and always happy to help and Go for his friendliness but cannot fault any of the staff who also went the extra mile and always with a smile on there faces. It was also lovely touch to go back to your room and find a lovely fresh fruit platter a couple of days courtesy of Bright left in the fridge for you to enjoy. The hotel also had a really nice restaurant which was always busy with plenty of choice We cannot fault the hotel at all and had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this hotel. Many thanks to Bright and the rest of the staff for making our holiday special

• Elizabeth from Canada (9/10)

  Really clean and quiet. Included breakfast was very good. Great staff!! We had to checkout before breakfast and as we were passing the buffet table being set up for breakfast, a staff member asked us if we had ordered a breakfast box. We didn’t know we could! She told us to take something from the buffet table. While we were waiting outside, she brought the 2 of us an orange and tetra box of orange juice!! Soooo sweet, kind and thoughtful!!!! Excellent location!
  Tip! Ask for room 105 (not ground level), 205 or 305. All are at the end of the hall & have wrap around balconies and windows.
