Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus

Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus, you immediately notice the beautiful Peranakan-style architecture that gives this place its name. The colorful shophouse facade feels authentically local — not like some tourist interpretation of Thai design. It’s a three-star property, but honestly, the attention to detail in the exterior makes it feel more upscale than you’d expect. The fact that there’s parking right on-site is actually a huge relief if you’re driving around Phuket Town, where finding a spot can be a real headache.

Location Magic

Here’s what I love about staying right on Phuket Road — you’re literally in the heart of the old town’s cultural district. You can walk to the weekend markets, those Instagram-famous colorful buildings, and some seriously good local restaurant spots without dealing with tuk-tuk negotiations. Couples seem to get this location thing right away (they rate it 9.0, which makes total sense), because you can actually stroll around in the evenings and discover those hidden coffee shops and art galleries that make Phuket Town special.

The Room Experience

The room design stays true to the Peranakan theme without going overboard — think rich colors and traditional patterns that actually work together. What surprised me was how quiet it stays despite being on a main road; the old building’s thick walls really do their job. The beds are comfortable, and you know what, the air conditioning works properly, which isn’t always a given in heritage buildings that have been converted to hotels. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with decent water pressure that’s reliable throughout the day.

Exploring the Neighborhood

Being in Talad-Yai puts you right where the action is, but it’s the good kind of action — not the touristy chaos you get near the beaches. You’re a five-minute walk from the Sunday Walking Street market, and there are these amazing local noodle stalls that open early in the morning just around the corner. The old Chinese shrines and colonial buildings are all within easy walking distance, so you can actually explore Phuket’s history without constantly jumping in and out of transportation.

Why Guests Love It

I think what really works here is that the hotel doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s a solid, well-maintained boutique property that celebrates local culture while giving you modern comfort. The staff genuinely knows the area and can point you toward experiences that aren’t in every guidebook. Plus, that 8.6 rating reflects what you actually get — a reliable, characterful place to stay that puts you right in the middle of authentic Phuket Town life. For the price point, you’re getting way more personality and local flavor than you’d find at the generic chain hotels.

  The hotel is in a great location close to the city center, a cute breakfast place, massage and money exchange. 7/11 is also a few minutes walking. The staff was nice and allowed us to check in 1h earlier. The room had basic equipment. They cleaned every day.
