The Tint At Phuket Town – SHA Plus

The Tint At Phuket Town – SHA Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Tint At Phuket Town – SHA Plus, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical beachfront resort — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. This three-star boutique property sits right in the heart of Phuket Town‘s old quarter, where the real character of the island lives. The building itself has this charming Sino-Portuguese vibe that fits perfectly with the historic neighborhood, and you can tell they’ve put thought into preserving that authentic feel while keeping everything modern and comfortable.

The Heart of Old Phuket

You know what I love about staying here? You’re actually in the thick of things — not stuck in some resort bubble. Dibuk Road is lined with these incredible shophouses, local cafes, and art galleries that most tourists never see because they’re too busy chasing beaches. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the beaches are great, but there’s something really satisfying about grabbing coffee from a local spot in the morning and wandering through streets where people actually live and work. The weekend walking market is literally at your doorstep, and trust me, that’s where you’ll find the best street food on the island.

Your Space

The room I stayed in was compact but smartly designed — they’ve really maximized every inch without making it feel cramped. The air conditioning works like a dream (crucial in this climate), and the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a mid-range place. What really caught my attention was how clean everything was and the little touches like local artwork on the walls. The bathroom’s modern and well-maintained, though if you’re used to sprawling resort suites, you’ll need to adjust your expectations a bit.

Food and Neighborhood Eats

While the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, that’s actually a blessing in disguise because you’re surrounded by incredible local food options. There’s this amazing roti shop about two minutes away that locals line up for every morning, and some of the best tom yum I’ve had anywhere is at a tiny place just around the corner. The staff gave me a little map with their favorite spots marked — honestly, that kind of local insight is worth more than any fancy hotel dining room.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you’re the type who needs a pool, spa treatments, and room service, this probably isn’t your place. But if you want to actually experience Phuket beyond the tourist trail while still having a comfortable, clean base to return to each night, The Tint hits that sweet spot perfectly. The location really is unbeatable for exploring the cultural side of the island, and the value for money is solid. Plus, couples seem to especially appreciate the intimate scale and romantic old-world atmosphere of the neighborhood — it’s got this authentic charm that the big beach resorts just can’t replicate.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Phuket through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best beaches for experiencing the island’s tropical atmosphere and rich cultural heritage.
