Awesome Hotel, 6-star service”

I was planning on an out of city and relax trip by the beach at Phuket. Turns out that the highlight of my trip was my stay with the BYD Lofts. After i stepped out from my cab at the front of the hotel, i was received by welcoming staffs with those "vacation necklace" made with flower buds and a refreshing welcome drink. Next, a friendly staff brought me to my room. The interior design of the room is neat and clean. On top of the nice ambience, the room is packed with really nice furniture setup - leather sofa, nespresso machine, sound system with iPhone dock and really comfortable bed. Hotel is great, room is fantastic, staff speaks good English, and they are super friendly and helpful. Let me further elaborate on their staffs' impeccable service. On the last day of my trip, i checked out at noon time. However, my flight was 10pm at night. So, i have a few hours to spare and a few things happened after I checked out from the hotel - 1) I walked around and chilled by the beach before heading to the airport in the evening. I thought it would be great if I could freshen myself up before heading to the airport. The staff at the counter offered to take care of my luggages, and loan me towel + a full set of bathing equipment. 2) I wanted to book a taxi to the airport. A staff at the counter recommended me to take their limousine taxi, which cost 200-300baht more than a normal cab. I was a little sceptical at first, but when I saw the ride, I knew that the upgrade was worth every penny - Luxury car (a mercedes or audi, can't remember) with leather seat, very comfortable ride to the airport. BYD Lofts nailed it. My entire encounter with the hotel from the point i checked in, till after i checked out was perfect.

BYD is great!”

BYD Lofts are located on a side street off the main drag of patong and within easy walking distance from the beach. A quite location on a street with local character. The Lofts are in themselves a treat. Large one and two-bedroom apartments which have been finished to a very high standard. The kitchen is adequately stocked to cook in yourself (and try out the recipes you can learn from the culinary school around the corner) or to enjoy take out int he privacy of your own hotel space and the comfort of the apartment. On the roof top there is a very nice (albeit somewhat small) infinity pool to lounge about. The hotel also has a very lively chic restaurant and bar (which makes a pleasant change form the surrounding soul-less bars/restaurants of Patong. Although its price may be a little high it is still a bargain and those who want more than a hotel room and yet want to be close to all the action will find what they are looking for. The staff by the way are incredibly friendly and helpful and can arrange.

Perfect Place to Stay in Phuket”

I have stayed at many hotels in Phuket, but this was my first time at the BYD Lofts. The apartments are beautifully designed and furnished, with all the amenities you could ever need. Modern and spacious throughout. It had the feel of living in a luxury condo with the added benefit of having all the hotels services at your call. The staff were excellent, most helpful and friendly - sure this is what you expect in most Thailand hotels, but at the BYD Lofts the atmosphere created gives a more relaxed and personal feel to the whole place. I will definitely be staying at the BYD Lofts during my future trips to Phuket.

Lovely boutique hotel with personalised service”

i chose byd lofts based on both good and bad reviews of the hotel and the manager's response to both reviews. we stayed in the deluxe apartment that was equipped with a kitchenette and had a big balcony. the furniture and fittings were of high quality and the apartment was lovely and comfy although the deluxe apartment bathroom does not come with a bathtub unlike advertised on agoda. perhaps the management can rectify the description of the room on agoda. we informed the front desk that we are muslims and the hotel made sure that we had many suitable food items for breakfast. they had a muslim staff (ayub) who could speak malay so we felt very welcomed there. the staff were caring and friendly and we were well taken care of. the location of the hotel is also within short distance walk to the beach (5 mins), bangla road (15 min) and jungceylon shopping centre (20min).

Great Service! Friendly Staffs! Good Location!”

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in BYD Lofts. We stayed at BYD only for just one night because the previous days before we had stayed at another hotel. From my point of view, I would prefer to stay at BYD longer it's because the rooms are more private which really cater to our needs, staffs here are friendly and helpful. We are welcomed with a smile on their face, drinks and a cold towel. Fast check in, free wifi and it's just 5 mins away to Patong Beach. One of the staff named Ayub ushered us to our room and give quick brief on the hotel facilities etc. If you love cooking like us, you can save money by cooking your own dishes if you're tired of eating out at a restaurant. One good thing is that they can help us look after our luggage, use of shower room and swimming pool even though we have checked out. One downside is that the rooms has no seaview rooms. Overall was a great stay and we would definitely come back here for longer stay because one day is never enough. Thank you for making our stay pleasant and memorable.

Excellent apartment friendly professional staff”

We loved BYD and will return. The spacious 2 bedroom penthouse apartment was extremely thoughtfully appointed, from small items such as toiletries to the provided beach towels, great balcony, clean fresh ambience, televisions with no trailing wires, tasteful modern art etc you could not fault the place. The staff were very friendly and professional, room service was very prompt, and the location is good only a 5 min walk to the beach. The Penthouse apartment is spacious enough for two couples or there was plenty room for us and our two young children. Taxis are available outside to bring you anywhere you want in Patong for 200 baht or Walking Street and Jungalong shopping centre with it's excellent restaurants and shops is only around 1km away. I thoroughly recommend this boutique hotel.

Clean, centrally located, contemporary design.”

We stayed for one week in September 2013 in Room 401, one of the 2 penthouses with private pool access 8pm-8am. The splurge is worth it! After spending all day among the throngs of people in Patong, being able to relax privately poolside in the evening is great. The interior of the room was very spacious and clean. This unit had a large, very well equipped kitchen, a good stock of snacks/beverages, a large terrace with direct pool access, glass walls throughout, a large bedroom and comfortable bed, and a huge bathroom with a big bathtub that is separate from rain-shower shower! One of the minor complaints I have is that the door that separates that bathroom from the bedroom is made out of frosted glass. The toilet is immediately next to the door, which means if you have privacy issues with your roommate, this might cause some discomfort. The living room was fully equipped with cable, DVD player, surround sound system, and iPod dock. The free WiFi was a little on the slow side inside the room, but strong in the lobby and bar/restaurant area). We opted for the breakfast included option, and are so glad we did. The breakfast buffet is quite varied, and includes all the standard Western options (pancakes, eggs, bacon, croissants, etc.), plus many surprise local dishes like fried rice, noodles, etc. This is a secure hotel and doesn't possess any of the seedy elements that were obvious at many hotels in Patong. It is located in a relatively quiet area and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, 10 minute walk to the lively Bangla street, and 5 minutes to the melange of markets, restaurants, bars, etc. of central Patong. The staff are wonderful, attentive, and speak English! This place clearly costs a little more than the average in this area of Phuket, but we thought it was well worth it. The hotel can also arrange for all of your excursions and transportation needs. We will recommend BYD Hotel to all our friends who plan a visit to Patong in Phuket!

BYD Lofts Phuket”

Very happy with the BYD Loft apartments. Very modern well equipped apartments, although there is no breakfast provided, the kitchen is very well equipped and we prepared our own breakfast each day.The apartments are down a small quiet street within walking distance to all shops, restaurants and the Patong beach. Would recommend the BYD Lofts to any guests who require acomodation with space, modern fittings and fixtures, it is a very nice facility.

Wonderful stay ”

After reading several reviews of BYD Lofts, I decided to give the Patong area a chance, and I couldn't have been more elated with my decision. The hotel is right off the main street, only a 5-minute walk from the beach, the food is delicious, the service is impeccable, the rooms are modern and clean, and the hotel is equip with an in-house wine shop! My entire experience at BYD was an absolute dream.

Great location and such friendly staff :)”

This was my first trip overseas and wow! Phuket was beautiful but what added the greatness to my holiday was BYD lofts. The serviced apartment is one of the nicest apartments i have ever been in. It is very spacious, modern and the staff were terrific. Helped me with all my needs and were very tolerant and helpful 1 night when i had too many buckets lol. I can not say 1 bad word about this hotel. Was worth every dollar :)

Great location, off beaten path and awesome ”

We loved our stay at BYD lofts, it was in an amazing location, close to beach but not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle so our street was nice and quiet but we were close enough to the party! The rooms/lofts were beautiful. We were travelling with another couple and their room was a little different but equally as nice, they all have the same new stylish feel. Rooms were spacious and included a full living room and kitchen. So you can cook your own meals or you can order to your room, we had breakfast delivered and they set it up in the kitchen, so nice! Food was excellent, must try the Pad Thai at the restaurant, the bar made an awesome mojito and great drinks overall! Also, the service people are great, they'll book tours for you, book a massage lady to your room, they order car services and even book dinner reservations, very helpful!

Perfect in every sense of the word”

We were checked in by Ton stress free and efficient.We were taken to our apartment by Kek, she showed us around the apartment perfect.Our apartment T301 has a wonderful street scape we watched people coming and going.The main building has a lovely pool which we used in the morning and we used our small pool in our building in the afternoon.Food delicious but a bit pricey.Happy hour is perfect for cocktails my thanks to Jose,Rambo and Korn for making perfect martini and cocktails The cleaning staff made our made our room so clean and tidy,lovey to come home to after a hot day on the streets of Phuket.About a 7 minutes walk to Jungcelony shopping centre and 5 minutes to the beach.Thank you Byd Lofts for making our stay unforgettable

Wonderful hotel at an exceptionnal value !”

I travel for leisure approximately 50 nights per year in Hotels, mainly in 4 and 5* hotels and I have to say that BYD Loft offered me one of the best room I ever had We also ordered (Western) food from the room service : it was excellent. And if the prices were slightly higher than regular restaurant prices in the area, it was still an excellent value (less than 12 USD charges included for an excellent beef tenderloin,!

Great Hotel, location not so great”

We stayed at BYD Lofts for one week before moving from Patong down to Kata. BYD Loft rooms are very well appointed and quite generous as far as space is concerned. The location is a bit of a downer, and views from the balconies are very much non existent. There was alot of noisey construction going immediately next to our room, this made any time out on the balconey very unpleasant. However in saying that, once you went back inside the apartment you could not hear any of the contruction noise, so the glazing is very good. Staff are pleasant. Restaurant is not bad, however breakfast isnt great. (Three attempts by the Chef to cook a hard boiled egg was a bit hard to believe) Overall, BYD lofts is a pleasant place to stay - far better than the large resort type places in Patong, and better value for money.

Love, love love this place”

We were not looking forward to hectic Patong but BYD made for a tranquil oasis in a busy town. We were so glad we chose this hotel. The rooms are fantastic . Spacious, nicely furnished and immaculately kept. The room is well equipped and although we did not use the mini bar, we noticed that it was very reasonably priced had we chosen to have some drinks. The food here is amazing. We had eaten Thai food for quite some time prior to our arrival and choosing to eat European dishes here was definitely the right decision. The owner is Belgian, I believe, and his knowledge of how European food should be cooked has certainly been reflected in the kitchen. The hotel is situated in a back street near the Andaman Beach suites, but is five mins walk from Patong beach and tens mins from The mega bust Bangla Rd. We loved our stay here. Justin is a credit to the team and we enjoyed our evening chats with him inthe Soho bar. On a final note the Happy Hour cocktails are not to be missed... We had one too many Long Island Iced Teas but loved them all at a fab 100baht each! Would return here I a heartbeat!

Had a Wonderful Stay at BYD Lofts”

We have just completed a wonderful 4-day stay at BYD Lofts, which is situated on a quiet street in busy Patong, a 5-10min walk to the beach. The Kitchen is well equipped and we 3 ladies managed even to cook a couple of meals indoors when we did not feel like dining out. The grand deluxe apartment sleeps 3 comfortably, one of the few places in Patong that does so. Cleanliness is top-notch and the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. The waitresses at breakfast always asked us our plans for the day.Definitely recommended!

Very nice hotel”

BYD Lofts deserves the high reviews that are posted. I was very impressed with my stay. The rooms were big and comfortable. The location was great, close to everything, but was very quiet. The food was also great and room service was fast. I will defintely stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Excellent hotel!”

Once we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with orchid garlands and tasty orange juice. The staff were very friendly and professional. The room was so big and very modern look. The reason we chose the hotel was because the hotel has a kitchen. The location was excellent because there are many shops nearby especially halal restaurant. The Kasuma restaurant is also abt 5 min walk. We will definitely stay at BYD Loft again next time. Overall I give it a 5 star!

Unexpected”

Despite the high rating, was a little apprehensive because of reviews from folks who had problems. We were fortunate to belong to the majority. Nicely designed, modern and clean. We were pleasantly surprised to get an upgrade to the Grand Deluxe! Beautiful apartment with full kitchen, lounging sofa in the living room, comfy bed with a variety of pillows and a luxurious bathroom. Pool on the 4th level was a little small; just 8 people there would make it seem crowded. On the few occasions we had business at the reception, all went well under the supervision of a competent Khun Kek. Harry was also friendly & helpful with directions and suggestions. We didn't have any other meal there except for breakfast and I particularly enjoyed the pancake (done crepe style) at breakfast. You get cereals, bread, yoghurt & juices at the buffet. And you choose the hot items from a list - eggs, bacon, ham, cheese, waffle, pancake, salad, etc. Definitely enough to fill you up and get you ready for the day. Meters from BYD is the Sandwich Shoppe - not a bad choice for lunch (with free wifi). Take a left at the end of the street and another few minutes walk would take you to a stretch of local shops, restaurants and of course, Bangla Road. Take a right and you'll end up at Patong Beach in a matter of minutes. The 'bus stop' for the blue bus to Phuket Town is right there along the beach. Costs THB30 each; was a pleasant ride. The bus goes from Patong to Central Festival to Phuket Town. If you plan to go to the weekend market, get off at the Central Festival and it's a 10-minute walk from there. We made the mistake of going all the way to Phuket town and had to share a local taxi with another couple also going to the weekend market and paid an extra THB50 each. Last bus departs from Phuket Town at 6pm so it'll be safe if you get back to the bus stop opposite Central Festival by 6pm. If you have a late flight like I did, you can still have a shower after checking out. They have a small show

Best sleep I have had in Thailand ”

This was our second time staying at Byd Lofts. It has a lot going for it great location, cleanliness, and the excellent and friendly staff but two things really stood out after living here and travelling around the country. The first noteworthy thing about the place is it has the best bed I've slept in in Thailand. Everything about it is good. The softness, the linen... everything. The only problem with it was that was sooooo hard to get out and get moving during the morning. The other noteworthy thing about the place is it has the best shower I've used in Thailand. The water pressure was actually at the proper level. I know it sounds small, but if you have stayed in as many places as I have in Thailand, then you know how amazing it is to find good plumbing.
