Well situated in the Old Town district of Phuket Town, Shunli Hotel - SHA Extra Plus is situated 300 metres from Chinpracha House, 5 km from Prince of Songkla University and 8.8 km from Chalong Temple. Featuring a garden, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is set 300 metres from Thai Hua Museum.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shunli Hotel. First of all, the location is great - in the middle of Phuket Town and very near restaurants, shops and convenience stores. The hotel itself was very clean, with beautiful calming interiors. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds. The staff were great! They helped us when we had a problem with our delayed luggage (even brought it to the room for us), and they were friendly and approachable. There is also a free breakfast (that we enjoyed) in the bright and warm kitchen. Overall, a wonderful stay. Will definitely recommend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This is probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in - great roof terrace, common area in reception, beds are private and have their own fans (which also drown out any little door opening noises), air con in the rooms is good, staff are friendly. Can’t really fault it.

    Amazing location, great price, comfy beds, fridge and kitchen. Really nice interior design too, especially the netted chillout area on the first floor. Phuket Old Town hostels generally don’t seem too social but this hostel was decent for meeting people due to the communal spaces.

    The hostel is super super close to the Phuket Old Town and also the Bus Terminal for further travels. Also the Private room with a shared bathroom is a perfect choice for travellers who care for a little privacy but want to stay on a budget!

    The location was perfect .. a short walk to the main cool Old Town streets. The staff were helpful and courteous. The facilities were great including a pool, beer fridge, book swap, kitchen. I had a room to myself which was well equipped although the stairs up to the loft bed were very step .. needed to be very careful going up and down. A really good hostel catering for both backpacker and older traveller which I am one. Felt safe and comfortable there.

    Great location as it was really close to the shops and cafes. Hostel itself was really nice and felt super safe. Clean and comfy beds and nice shower and toilet area which never felt busy. A cafe fronts the hostel and it’s really nice, the staff were great and have pictures giving recommendations for Phuket. One staff member was super helpful, writing an allergy card in Thai that we’ve used across Thailand.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Extremely clean, quiet, and in the middle of old Phuket town. The staffs were very polite and helpful. Though the stay is the cheapest I've had in Thailand, it came with breakfast and they even gave a souvenir. Would highly recommend.

    Overall it’s a cheap hotel, staff are really nice and helpful. Room itself was very dated, wasn’t overly clean, both the shower and beds were borderline usable. Safe in room was handy, laundry service was good bonus for backpackers and great mopeds to rent from the reception. Location again was okay, but using a moped really helped. Overall, wasn’t the worst, wasn’t the best, but for the price it’s tough to complain to much.
