Chino Town at Yaowarat Phuket – SHA Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Chino Town at Yaowarat Phuket – SHA Plus, you immediately get this cool blend of old-world charm meets modern comfort. The building sits right on Yaowarat Road in the heart of Phuket Town’s historic quarter, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better. This three-star property has that authentic Thai-Chinese shophouse vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere with real character — not just another generic hotel. The attention to preserving the original architecture while adding contemporary conveniences sets it apart from typical urban accommodations.

The Neighborhood Magic

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re literally in the middle of Phuket Town’s most vibrant area, where the old Sino-Portuguese architecture tells stories on every corner. Step outside and you’re surrounded by local coffee shops, street art, and those amazing little restaurants that locals actually eat at. The weekend walking market happens right nearby, and couples absolutely love exploring this area together — there’s something romantic about wandering these historic streets in the evening when the old buildings are all lit up. The neighborhood pulses with authentic Thai culture and genuine local experiences.

Your Room and Comfort

The room itself strikes a nice balance between comfort and character. You’ll find clean, well-maintained spaces that reflect the building’s heritage without sacrificing modern amenities. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Phuket’s heat), and the beds are actually comfortable — not always a given in this price range. What I really appreciate is how they’ve managed to keep that authentic shophouse feel while making sure everything functions properly for today’s travelers. Each apartment-style unit maintains its unique charm while providing essential modern conveniences.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll make your life easier — they offer free parking, which is honestly a godsend in Phuket Town where finding a spot can be a real headache. The staff genuinely seems to care about helping guests navigate the area, and they’re pretty good with recommendations for local spots that aren’t just tourist traps. Plus, you’re walking distance to the local bus terminal, so getting around the island is straightforward if you don’t have your own wheels. The convenient access to public transportation and local services makes independent exploration effortless.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the fanciest place you’ve ever stayed, but that’s sort of the point. What you get is an authentic experience in one of Phuket’s most culturally rich neighborhoods, without paying resort prices. The location score speaks for itself — you’re genuinely in the best part of town for exploring local culture, trying real Thai food, and experiencing Phuket beyond the beaches. It’s the kind of place where you’ll end up having better stories to tell than if you’d stayed in some sterile beach resort. The combination of reasonable rates, solid comfort, and that unbeatable location makes it a smart choice for travelers who want to actually experience Phuket rather than just pass through it.

Hotels in Phuket offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of Thailand’s largest island, with easy access to bustling markets, pristine beaches, and renowned attractions like James Bond Island.
