AP Grand Residence by Lofty

AP Grand Residence by Lofty Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into AP Grand Residence by Lofty, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the name alone. You know how some hotel names can be a bit… aspirational? Well, this three-star property actually surprised me in a good way, though it’s definitely more “comfortable residence” than “grand palace.”

What struck me right away was how the place feels more like an extended-stay setup than your typical hotel. The lobby has this sort of lived-in quality – not fancy, but clean and welcoming with staff who actually seem to remember your name after the first day. I mean, the check-in was smooth enough, and honestly, after dealing with some of those mega-chain properties where you’re just another room number, it was refreshing. The rooms themselves are spacious – like, actually spacious, not just “spacious for the price point” spacious. You get a proper sitting area and what feels like a real apartment-style layout. The beds are decent (I’m picky about mattresses), and there’s enough storage space that you can actually unpack if you’re staying more than a couple nights. The Wi-Fi works well throughout the building, which I always test obsessively because, well, work doesn’t stop for vacation.

Now, I won’t sugarcoat everything – the decor is pretty standard business hotel fare, and you’re not going to find any Instagram-worthy design moments here. But you know what? Sometimes you just want a place that does the basics really well without trying too hard. The housekeeping is consistent, the water pressure in the shower is actually solid, and the air conditioning works without sounding like a freight train. I stayed during what seemed like a busy period, and while there was some hallway noise in the evenings, it died down pretty early. The breakfast situation is simple but gets the job done – nothing fancy, but fresh coffee and enough options that you won’t leave hungry. One thing I really appreciated was the laundry setup they have – super helpful for longer stays, and way more convenient than hunting down a laundromat. The front desk folks were genuinely helpful with local recommendations too, not just handing you the same tourist brochures everyone gets. For a property with a 7.4 rating, it honestly delivers what you’d hope for without any major disappointments. If you’re looking for something reliable and comfortable without paying premium prices, this place does the trick.

To book hotel in Phuket during the vibrant Songkran festival, visitors should make reservations well in advance as this tropical paradise attracts millions of tourists from around the world seeking pristine beaches and authentic Thai culture.

• Frinky1 from Australia (8/10)

  Beach was a drive away, but lovely quiet area. Shops and restaurants 20min walk away. We hired a scooter in the end. The property facilities were good, shared areas kept very clean with security going round and checking. The apartment was just beside the pool which was convenient with the kids. We didn't go over the 70kw/h daily electricity allowance which was great. Nardz who handled the electricity and checking in was lovely, we even got his lovely wife to baby sit our 2yo so we could go to markets
