“Wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We stayed in apt 105, 2 bedrooms. This is a beautiful, spacious, clean apartment, they really paid attention to details. We had a beautiful bouquet of orchids on the dining room table. There is a large terrace with a dining table, wrap around balcony. Staff is friendly, welcome drinks and cold towel on arrival. Rooms were serviced daily. Across the street is a wonderful tour office that will help with booking tours, convenience stores nearby, Patong beach 10 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay here very much and highly recommend BYD Lofts!

Room Tip: I am a light sleeper, and I had problems with the noise from the A/C, when climate control kicks in...

“Lifestyle you deserve!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We have just returned from a 12 nights at the BYD Lofts and had a superb time.
From the moment we arrived we knew we had made the right choice.
The aspects of the hotel that made it so special for us were as follows: the wonderful relaxed atmosphere that we expected of the hotel which is driven by the " understated but extremely effective and professionalism of the management and their staff at the BYD Lofts " ! attentive and friendly staff at the reception, bar, restaurant, and housekeeping, thank you for making our holiday memorable !
the Bar & Bistro restaurant - we ate in the restaurant numerous times and always had brilliant food and wine's on very reasonable prices.
We gave the European menu a miss because we like to sample the food of the region.
The Thai food was one of the best we have eaten and their breakfast let you going on for the whole day !
The rooms were superb, specious, clean with big flatscreen TV's - iPod Station Surround sound system, you don't want to leave, some times we just stay " at home " in the evening as it was so nice relaxing like being at home, having a nice glass of wine on our specious balcony with some friends that came over and were also very impressed !
We visited many other hotels in the past year in Patong Beach and we believed none of them came that close to the atmosphere of the BYD Lofts, no wonder that they are that high ranked in Patong Beach, for me they are also "The number 1 " Thank you BYD to make our holiday so wonderful and we really highly recommend this place, it's a livestyle you deserve !!.

“Perfect Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I LOVE the BYDLofts!This was by far the best investment I made for my trip to Phuket. It was a full, one bedroom modern apartment with full maid service, room service and a 5 minute walk to Patong Beach. It also had a terrific terrace that extended your living room to the outdoors. The view is not great (mine looked at the BYD LOFTS across the street) but the room completely made up for this lack of view. Besides, it was so close to the beach, I was not in my room much to care about the view.

I am a female that traveled alone and felt completely safe. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. Let me also mention that I received a GREAT deal from the internet. The price definitely made me feel like I won the lottery on this place. If I ever return to Phuket, I will ABSOLUTELY be looking at BYDLofts for my stay.

If I had one complaint, the hotel's driver (they have a car service, which was nice, though you will pay double than for a regular, metered taxi) offered to "take me to the airport early so that he could show me some places to go shopping." After reading a lot about these kinds of offers (and how drivers take tourists to places where they receive a commission), I was a little disappointed with this offer. However, a simple, "no thanks" was all he needed. Do NOT let this deter you from staying here. The hotel is fantastic.

“Great location and amazing decoration”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

BYD Lofts sits at a prime location with convenience to everything. The room has amazing design and decor. It's clean and comfortable.

The room that we stayed, is located at the first floor. Apparently this room is being modified from an office. The double swing door is locked but there is still gap between the doors and at night you can hear all those noise from the street.

Advantage
1. Location close to all actions, the beach, shopping etc.
2. The hotel restaurant is great. It's best cost vs. benefit than any restaurant that we have been on the island.
3. Fixed 200 Bahr a trip to go around Patong.
4. There is an activity house nearby and price is better than what we quote from website or other places. For example, the trip to go back to airport is 600 vs. 900 from the hotel.
5. Full set of kitchen with stainless steel utensil.
6. Fully integrated sound system (6.1).
7. Great decor.

Disadvantage
1. A bit pricy. One of the more expensive hotel around. But I think it is worth the money spent.
2. Noisy. The bar cross street has music until very late at night. Of course, we had a room not completely sealed.
3. Bathroom is slippery once its wet due to the type of tile used. In other hotel, there will be different type of tile used.
4. No TV channel guide. Too many channels with local language.
5. Bathroom a bit small compare the same class of hotel around Phuket.
