Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus

Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus Overview

You know what caught me off guard about the Peranakan Boutique Hotel – SHA Plus? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try too hard to impress you, but somehow ends up doing exactly that. I mean, when I first walked in, I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property – honestly, I’d booked it mostly because of the SHA Plus certification and that solid 8.6 rating from other travelers. But there’s something genuinely charming about how they’ve embraced the whole Peranakan heritage theme without making it feel like a museum.

The lobby has these beautiful handpainted tiles that actually look authentic (not the mass-produced stuff you see everywhere), and the staff seemed to know their stuff when I asked about local Peranakan restaurants nearby. My room was smaller than what you’d get at a big chain hotel, sure, but it was thoughtfully designed – they’d managed to squeeze in a decent workspace and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The air conditioning worked like a dream, which honestly matters more than fancy amenities when you’re dealing with the heat and humidity here. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stayed at night; you’d think a boutique place might have thin walls, but I barely heard my neighbors. The WiFi was solid too, which saved me since I had some work calls to handle.

Here’s the thing though – this isn’t a place for travelers who need a full-service resort experience. There’s no pool, no spa, no room service menu that goes on for pages. But if you’re the type who actually wants to explore and experience the local culture rather than hide in your hotel, it works perfectly. The front desk folks gave me better restaurant recommendations than any guidebook I’ve read, and they helped me figure out the most efficient way to hit the main sights without getting caught in tourist traps. Plus, the whole SHA Plus thing isn’t just a marketing gimmick – they actually follow through on the health and safety protocols, which gave me peace of mind. I’d definitely stay here again, especially since the price point makes it easy to justify spending your money on experiences rather than just accommodation.

  Very clean, and comfortable, well situated, on the edge of Phuket old town.

• Oleksandra from Slovakia (8/10)

  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.

  Lovely clean room, incredibly comfortable bed and my laundry was done in about 4 hours incredibly cheaply even for Thailand. The location is perfect – exactly where you want to be.
