Mei Zhou Phuket Hotel – SHA Plus

Mei Zhou Phuket Hotel – SHA Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Mei Zhou Phuket Hotel – SHA Plus, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into something authentically Thai rather than a cookie-cutter tourist spot. The lobby has this warm, welcoming vibe that honestly feels more like visiting a well-appointed friend’s place than checking into a typical hotel. It’s a three-star property, but don’t let that fool you — the attention to detail here punches well above its weight class.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying in Phuket Town — you’re actually experiencing real Thai life instead of just the beach bubble. The hotel sits right on Luangpohwatchalong Road, which puts you within walking distance of the old town’s colorful Sino-Portuguese shophouses and some seriously good local food spots. You know what’s great? There’s free private parking right at the hotel, which is honestly a godsend if you’re planning to rent a scooter or car to explore the island. Most couples seem to really appreciate this location — I mean, you can walk to authentic local markets in the morning and still be at Patong Beach in about 20 minutes by car.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, with that practical Thai hospitality approach where everything just works without unnecessary frills. The air conditioning actually keeps up with Phuket’s humidity (trust me, this matters), and the beds are firm in that good way that helps you sleep well after a day of exploring. What I particularly appreciated was how quiet it gets at night — being in town doesn’t mean dealing with constant noise here.

Local Flavor & Dining

While the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, this is actually where staying here gets interesting. You’re surrounded by some of the best local eateries on the island — I’m talking about places where you’ll see Thai families eating, not just tourists. There’s this incredible dim sum place just a few minutes’ walk away, and the weekend night market is close enough that you can smell the grilled satay from the hotel entrance. The staff genuinely knows the neighborhood and will point you toward the good stuff, not just the obvious tourist traps.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to authentic Phuket while still giving you a comfortable base to return to each night. The location score of 8.1 makes perfect sense when you experience it — you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the chaos to actually relax. It’s particularly great for couples who want to explore beyond the typical beach resort experience without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The staff here actually cares about making your stay work, and in a place like Phuket where you can easily get lost in tourist-focused businesses, that personal touch makes all the difference.

Best hotels in Phuket range from luxurious beachfront resorts with private pool villas to boutique hotels in historic Phuket Town and elegant properties overlooking Patong Beach and Kata Beach.
