BYD Lofts – Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments – Patong Beach, Phuket Overview

You know what caught me off guard about BYD Lofts – Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments – Patong Beach, Phuket? It’s actually tucked away from the main chaos of Bangla Road, but you’re still close enough to walk to all the action when you want it. I mean, Patong can be absolutely nuts – especially around 2 AM when the bars empty out – but this place sits in one of those quieter pockets where you can actually get some sleep.

The lofts themselves feel more like staying in a friend’s really well-designed apartment than a typical hotel room. They’ve got this modern industrial thing going on with exposed concrete and clean lines, but honestly, it works. The serviced apartment setup means you get a proper kitchenette, which is clutch if you want to grab some fresh fruit from the local market instead of paying resort prices for breakfast every day. Speaking of which, there’s this little family-run fruit stand about a five-minute walk toward the beach – the mango there is ridiculous. The four-star rating feels about right; it’s polished without being stuffy, and the staff actually seems to know the area well enough to point you toward the good local spots instead of just the tourist traps.

What I really appreciated was how they handle the whole Patong beach proximity thing. You’re maybe a seven or eight-minute walk to the sand, but you don’t get the constant stream of tuk-tuk drivers and street vendors right outside your door like you do with some of the beachfront places. The neighborhood has that mix of local Thai businesses and expat-run cafes that makes it feel less like a tourist bubble. Parking can be a bit tight if you’re renting a scooter – most people do in Phuket – but there’s usually space on the side streets. The pool area is smaller than what you’d find at the big resorts, but it’s never crowded, and honestly, after a day of dealing with Patong Beach crowds, that’s exactly what you want. Check-in was smooth, and they actually followed up to make sure everything was working properly, which seems small but matters when you’re dealing with the tropical humidity and want to know your AC won’t quit on you at 3 AM.

Reviews of BYD Lofts – Boutique Hotel & Serviced Apartments – Patong Beach, Phuket

• David from United States (9/10)

  This was the best hotel we stayed in during 3 weeks of travel in SE Asia. The rooms are huge, actually a large suite with a kitchen. They are modern and clean and have a balcony to enjoy outdide space. They staff is ALWAYS very willing to help with anything and could not be more friendly. The block is just off a main, very busy street. The relative tranquillity of the street/block was very welcoming after a day or night of the craziness of Patong . It was actually closer to the beach and Paradise Complex than I had expected beforehand. We loved our one dinner and we certainly recommend the delicious breakfasts. The owner appears to be on site all day ensuring a “well run operation”!

• Luke from Ireland (9/10)

  A well located hotel/aparthotel with good facilities close but secluded from central PaTong. Small gym and 2 small pools were an added bonus! The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. A complimentary bowl of fruit, water and tea/coffee were welcome.
