Montree Phuket Hotel, SHA Extra Plus

Montree Phuket Hotel, SHA Extra Plus Overview

First Impressions

The Montree Phuket Hotel, SHA Extra Plus sits right in the heart of Phuket Town on Montri Road, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way. The building has this clean, modern look that feels fresh without trying too hard, and the staff greets you with genuine warmth — not that rehearsed hotel smile you get at some places.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about staying in Phuket Town versus the beach areas — you’re getting the real Thailand experience. The hotel is smack in the middle of Talat Yai, which means you can walk to those incredible Sino-Portuguese shophouses, the weekend night market, and some seriously good local food spots that tourists usually miss. I mean, couples are rating the location 8.6 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You’re close enough to catch a tuk-tuk to the beaches (about 15-20 minutes), but you’re also surrounded by authentic local life. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of traditional Phuket culture.

The Room Experience

My room was simple but thoughtfully designed — clean lines, decent air conditioning (crucial in this heat), and a comfortable bed that actually let me sleep well. The bathroom was compact but functional, with good water pressure in the shower. Nothing fancy, but everything worked properly, which is honestly more than I can say for some pricier places I’ve stayed. The Wi-Fi was reliable too, which matters when you’re trying to plan your next day’s adventures. Each detail reflects careful attention to guest comfort.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The breakfast spread covers all the bases — they’ve got vegetarian, halal, Asian, and American options, so pretty much everyone’s covered. I particularly enjoyed the local Thai dishes they rotate in; it’s a nice touch that shows they’re not just catering to Western tastes. The parking situation is actually a huge plus here — it’s free, which is rare in the town center. If you’re planning to rent a scooter or car to explore the island, this is genuinely helpful. This convenience makes the hotel an excellent choice for independent travelers.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a resort with infinity pools or a fancy spa, but it delivers exactly what it promises. The location score of 8.7 speaks for itself — you’re in the cultural heart of Phuket with easy access to everything. The value is solid, the service is friendly, and you’re staying somewhere that feels connected to the real character of the place. If you want to experience Phuket beyond just beaches and tourist traps, while still having a comfortable base to return to each night, Montree Phuket Hotel makes a lot of sense. It’s the perfect choice for authentic exploration.

• Noelia from Australia (8/10)

  Everything was perfect!
  The team from Reception, Restaurant and Housekeeping were super friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was delicious and decently priced.
  The hotel provides a self service laundry room with new equipment which works with coins and in there you can also get free drinking water (apart from the bottles they leave in your room).
  The room was really comfortable and that bed was the best one so far in my trips.
