BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments Review
BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments in Patong Beach has so many good reviews on Trip Advisor and social media; we had to try it to see for ourselves. Let’s find out why this long-established hotel is so prevalent in Phuket and why many readers of Phuket 101 talk positively about it. BYD Lofts is not even located on the seafront, so there must be something special about it, so what is it?
The Location
BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments is within walking distance of one of the best parts of Patong beach. The neighbourhood is now pretty residential since the renovation and is spotless and quiet. You will find a large seafood court nearby and many convenience stores. You can easily walk to Bangla Road and Jungceylon Shopping Mall from here, so it’s quite a strategic location.
Overview of BYD Lofts
BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments is about four times bigger than I remember. We guess the original building was so successful that management started buying nearby buildings to expand, with equal success. Each building is modern and spotless, with a lot of artistic touches. BYD was into local art galleries in the past, so it’s still in the spirit. The team at the reception was smiling and friendly, spoke very well English and made us feel at home instantly. They’d remember our names during our stay (we paid for our stay and came unannounced if you ask).
The Rooms
The team took us to our deluxe room facing the main building. To our surprise, the room was big,100 sqm! It was an apartment with a large terrace. The hotel has an excellent design, with a kitchen counter and induction stove, large microwave, oversized sink and all the accessories you need for an extended stay. It comes with an espresso machine which is something I appreciate a lot. The apartment has two large flat-screen TVs and a great surround sound system.
Brasserie C’est La Vie and Cafe Soho
Brasserie C’est la Vie, located at BYD Loft in the heart of Patong, Phuket, offers a blend of traditional Thai flavours and classic French cuisine. The menu features a selection of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including seafood and meats, prepared with care by skilled chefs.
Other Facilities
BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments features two pools on their rooftops. They are not very large and don’t offer exciting views, but they are convenient for a dip before dinner. We didn’t have time to try the spa.
Overall, BYD Lofts Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments is a great serviced apartment concept in an excellent location, just close enough to the nightlife without being loud and still close enough to the beach. The price is right, the rooms and amenities are beyond expectations, and the team are super friendly. In case you wonder (because I asked myself that question), I was at no point encouraged to leave a comment on Trip Advisor. We also paid in full for our stay and came unannounced.
