We loved our stay in Shanti lodge. Is a very chill place to stay. The pool is open 24h ( a group of 4 adults in the 30' really appreciated). About the rooms, they are equipped with AC, the only complain I would have is that our room there wasn't any mirror : for two woman wanting to check themselves with bikinis is really important to have a mirror!! About the service : nothing to say, the people were kind, always helping and always serving with a smile. The owner even called me a lady for a pedicure in the hotel (300baht). About the location: Shanti lodge isn't the hotel you want if you're expecting to get to the beach by foot. But it's the perfect location if you're ready to rent a motorcycle and drive 15 min. There's a motorcycle rent place in the corner of the street of the hotel and they also exchange currency (we did rent two motorcycles that cost us $500 baht the day and we fit two people in each.. was really worth it to move around the city). The hotel offers a great menu and everything is very cost convenient (250 baht to 400 baht the dish) but you'll definitely find less expensive out of the hotel. This said, we loved the coffee, the breakfast and the juices of the hotel. I write this comment in my last evening here and want to add that there's a live show of music some days (for us it was on Tuesday and Friday) and there's BBQ on Fridays. I would like to come back with my kids of one day I have.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Shanti Lodge for 5 nights and it was one of the best stays we had in Thailand so far. The ambiance of the hostel is amazingly calm and peaceful with lots of plants & water and various chill-out areas to relax. The staff was very friendly and accommodating (they even cared for us when we fell ill during our stay). They offer a great variety of scrumptious food (I recommend the Crumpets!!) AND we got upgraded to a better room with private bathroom for free upon arrival. All in all a great experience with a more than lovely host. Thanks for having us!
Food unbelievably good vegan food. Best tasting minestrone soup I've had. Burgers are really good. The vegan roast dinner is the best I've ever had. Very great menu selection and very skilled and talented chefs. Delicious food would recommend.
We stayed 1 night but made full use of this lovely pool and restaurant for both days, could leave our luggage safe, while we went off to the beaches which were a taxi ride away. Love the quirky Africa theme and the burrito was amazing ? the staff were very friendly.
Wonderful place! The owners are super friendly and always happy to help – you can easily reach out to them with anything. Great atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and everything deserves 5 stars. We felt completely at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming stay in Phuket.
