Mayfa Hotel – SHA extra plus

Mayfa Hotel – SHA extra plus Overview

First Impressions

The Mayfa Hotel – SHA extra plus sits quietly on Wirathongyok Road, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not — it’s a solid, comfortable base in Phuket Town that gets the basics right. The building itself has that clean, modern Thai hotel aesthetic you see around town, nothing flashy but well-maintained. What caught my attention right away was how the staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests arrive, which isn’t always a given at mid-range places.

Location & Getting Around

You know what’s great about staying in Phuket Town instead of the beach areas? You actually get to experience real Thai life. The hotel is tucked into a residential area that feels authentic — there are local food stalls within walking distance, and you’ll hear the sounds of everyday Phuket life rather than just tourist chatter. The free private parking is honestly a godsend if you’re planning to rent a car and explore the island properly. Most places in town charge for parking or don’t have it at all, so this is a real advantage.

The Room Experience

My room was clean and functional — think modern Thai minimalism with air conditioning that actually works well (crucial in this climate). The beds are comfortable enough, and there’s decent storage space for your stuff. The bathroom is compact but efficient, with a good shower that has reliable hot water. I mean, it’s not going to win any design awards, but everything functions as it should, and the housekeeping is thorough.

What Makes It Special

The real appeal here is the value proposition and the location feedback speaks volumes — couples rate this place highly because it offers something different from the typical beach resort experience. You’re close enough to Old Town Phuket to walk to the colorful Sino-Portuguese buildings and local markets, but far enough from the tourist chaos to actually relax. The staff knows the area well and can point you toward the good local restaurant spots that tourists usually miss. Plus, having your own parking means you can easily drive to different beaches each day rather than being stuck in one resort area.

Why Guests Love It

This hotel works because it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. The 7.4 rating reflects that — it’s not perfect, but it’s reliable and well-run. Couples especially appreciate the quieter setting and the freedom to explore Phuket on their own terms. You’re not paying beach resort prices, but you’re still getting clean accommodations, helpful service, and that valuable parking situation. If you want to experience Phuket beyond the tourist bubble while having a comfortable place to return to each night, the Mayfa Hotel delivers on that promise.
