Pretty new hotel next to the Buriram United football stadium. Hotel is in as-new condition. The hotel is full of Buriram United branding. The room was spacious, very clean with good bed.

This is the best hotel in Buriram. Yes, it's better than the Amari which I have also stayed at. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The rooms are very nice. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is excellent and goes on till 2pm. The quality of the food was also better than what I experienced at the Amari Buriram which was also good ...
Location perfect, staff always smiling and very helpful, facilities are top class from gym to swimming pool, great place for adults and kids to chill especially the pool features which is a must to keep kids amused, the breakfast is above standard and food is really good (Thai and Farang) did not have to eat outside as food that good, the owner William is very friendly...
This hotel is only 6 months old and the design and construction has been well thought out and executed. The 2 storey hotel is located on a main road but the accommodation part of the complex is set well back from the road so no traffic noise is heard. At the front of the hotel is substantial car parking (both undercover and open) and then the reception part of the hote...

We came to Buriram for a football weekend and Thada Château is very handy for Thunder Castle. The hotel is small but it's attractive having been built in a European style, including a windmill. The pool in the photo has an adult section and a children's section and that is convenient. Our room was a family suite and that was a good size with bedroom, living room and...
Great little hotel in Buriram. Staff are very well trained and speak excellent English, rooms clean and tidy, swimming is massive and clean. There is also a well equipped gym with machines and free weights. Breakfast was basic, but enough to fill you up. My only slight complaint is they should provide a kettle in the room to make a coffee or tea in the morning.
The Hop Inn chain is amazing, and the Buriram hotel a carbon copy of all the others I have stayed in. The hotel is new, rooms basic but with good comfortable furniture, clean, and very good shower room facilities. There is even a small balcony, where the air con unit is, which doubles as a smoking area, if you really can't wait! No in room drinks making facilities, but...
This is by far the best hotel in Prakhon Chai, possibly the best in Buriram and maybe even in the entire Issan region. Very nice rooms, staff are great (even with many lacking English skills, but that is to be expected in Issan). Breakfast was very good, dinner was a bit less, the Issan franchise restaurant in front of the hotel is actually a better option. Great locat...
Buriram couldnt handle the MotoGP influx, and so no town accomodation left.. I thank Liam and team in all honesty, to accomodate around 500 people camping that weekend.. whereas there would have been no other place to go.. A few issues.. shower and toilets need to handle the peak periods next year a bit better.. looking at toilet blockages while brushing your teeth w...
I have stayed at 5 different hotels in Buriram and this is my favorite. Great value at 900 to 1000 bhat a night. New building and above average build quality for Thailand. You must have a car if you will stay here. Only negative is you might have trouble finding it if you don't use google maps and the pillows are way too hard.
This is the best hotel in Buriram I stayed. It is located in a good location to go anywhere by car or bike. Good design and clean room had a excellent time with no noisy guests nearby. The staff provided very good service with a good smile and greetings. Breakfast was nice and tasty more than price. I would like to stay here again next time.
What a super little budget hotel right in the middle of Buriram City. Only 5 minutes walk from the bus station where there are all the different types of taxis to take you to wherever, and near to the bars and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and the rooms were as they appear in the website photos, clean, spacious, good lighting and a nice shower room/toilet. T...
The hotel is nicer than the photos show, we booked for one night and stayed for four, if we didn’t have pressing travel plans I would have stayed much longer. I have recently stayed in several Buriram Hotels, there are cheaper ones but for the relatively small extra cost it well worth it. The Proprietor is Dutch bringing western standards to Asian spice and hospitality...
New, fresh hotel with big rooms and a great breakfast buffe with local food. The only downside is that the hotel is located on the outskirts of Buriram.
I stayed here with my girlfriend who lives in Buriram, we initially booked for 10 nights but stayed an extra 3. Staff are awesome and only too willing to help. The room was serviced everyday to an exceptionally high standard. The location is very good being close to bus depot a short taxi ride to train and airport. Markets are close and handy 24 hour 7/11 just a stroll...
The room could do with a bit of a makeover but was otherwise comfortable. Windows were a bit dirty and some electrical (shielded) wires were protruding from behind the pillows on the bed. Given it's location (Buriram is not a major tourist hub) the hotel had a variety of facilities (swimming pool, massage, singers) and was comfortable enough.
I stayed at the Phanomrungpuri Hotel a few weeks after it opened in February 2011. Only the lower two floors were opened at this time however all other facilities were functioning but there were very few guests. The hotel has an imposing entrance within a large garden area and plenty of secure parking for guest’s cars. There is an outdoor swimming pool adjacent to a sm...
Located near the Buriram F.C. complex and racing circuit so expect noise from both if there are events at either venue. A variety of rooms available at the resort and hotel. The grounds are extensive measuring almost a half kilometre from the entrance to the far boundary. Swimming pools are excellent and well maintained. That said, the resort side wooden pool furnitu...

The S.G. Hotel was a very clean and proper spot to have some easy stay in Buriram. You get there from train station by tuk-tuk, but al necessary shops are in short distance. Thundercastle stadium is 3km away.
It a perfect new hotel, full in-room facilities like 4-5 stars hotel, it's located near the Buriram Hospital and the hotel is pretty inside the alley, so It's highly recommend for visitor to have car/ bike/motor for more convenience to travel
I had booked Executive suite and Junior Suite, and both are large with clean bathrooms. I was called away for business on first night but my travel companions that stayed on were impressed with the service and room quality. The Venue is approx 50kms out of Buriram in Nan Rong. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and plenty of petrol stations to fill car. I didnt stay...
Rooms are on small size facilities make up for it breakfast cafe style menu with Thai favourites close to centre of town small night market nearby a number of restaurants and bars close in all good place for a break in Buriram
If you want a hotel on the outskirts of Buriram, close proximity to Chang Arena then this is the ideal hotel for you
Great location especially for the stadium and race track, but own transport is essential. Small kitchen means a quick trip to the supermarket and you're sorted. There's also a Thai food restaurant right outside and even a coffee shop that's open in the day time. Very nice.
I am a solo female traveller and decided to go to the World Superbikes held in Buriram. The hotel provided transport to and from the racetrack for a small fee (around £5 per day, they would also take you into the town if you wanted to go out in the evenings for the bars and restaurants as well as to the local tourist attractions i.e. temples as it is not quite centr...
Everything in the hotel is very clean and modern. Price very cheap. Near Big C. Small but adequate swimming pool.
This was our second attempt at getting to this resort - we were caught in the floods in NE Thailand the first time, but the owner honored our booking, even though it was non-transferable. We used it as a base to explore the Khymer temples south of Buriram. The room was comfortable and clean, with tea and coffee, and a hot breakfast. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The...

For travelers who choose to check out Buriram (and its closest shopping malls or any tourist sites within the town,this is the best hostel for you. It's a minute or two from Buriram train station.

This hostel is an amazing place to stay in Buriram. I am so impressed with everything I want to stay there again. Friendly staff, free breakfast, comfy room and lots more. Very good stay and very happy.
The hotel P.California Inter Hostel is not really a hostel, but rather a hotel. The room was large, had a big double bed, TV, air conditioning and a little fridge. There was a washbasin, too. The whole room was very pleasant and had a quite nice interior. The bathroom itself consists of a shower and a toilet combined in one room, so the toilet seat might get wet when ...
Nice room with adaquate air conditioning, quiet location and helpful staff. Big pool!
We stayed for 3 nights in the Rinradee Place. Great Value for Money accommodation in Buriram. Clean and spacious room with balcony, comfortable King Sized Bed, cool Airconditioner, Refrigerator, cable TV, wall fan, wardrobe, dresser table, free WiFi, complimentary coffee and tea with 2 bottles of water replenished daily. Bathroom was clean with hot and cold shower. P...
very hard to find with the map on the web site, as it's not in nong rong but in buriram. saying that it's right next to buriram big c, so now you know that it's easy. the place it's self is like a 1950's uk holiday camp thats not been painted!!!. for a stop over for the north it's ok but would not want to sleep more than 6hrs in there. it's used as a short time place ...

A very nice little hotel in the centre of Buriram and just a few minutes away from bars, restaurants, banks and the bus station. The rooms were spacious with king size beds and air conditioning. Daily maid service and very friendly staff made this a very pleasant stay. I will certainly stay here again.
..
Stayed for two nights but would have stayed longer if the hotel would have had more facilities like room service mini bar and up to date interior.
Agoda.nl says the hotel was built 2006. If that is the case, then someone must have stolen all of the interior and replaced it with something much older. For the price we paid (700 baht) the quality is oke (not exceptional). Bathroom definitely NOT clean.
place was very clean, quiet,ther is no problem of any kind, good price.
I quite like this hotel because the rate is cheap and its so close to the bus station only a 200 metre walk. The rooms are just standard but comfortable enough for the price. So its one of my top picks in Buriram because its comfortable and economical.
I stayed this hotel for bicycle trip in Buriram prefecture. The hotel staff was great and helpful. If you do not have your own transportation, ask hotel staff to arrange it for you.
Located near the Buriram F.C. complex and racing circuit so expect noise from both if there are events at either venue. A variety of rooms available at the resort and hotel.

The hotel is central Nang rong and is fully renovated. Its located between two soi and has parking at the rear. Individual rooms located at the back. Three levels at the front. Stairs are ok. Decor is clean and fresh. Rooms are reasonable sized rooms and the bathroom wet room is really modern and new. No in room fridge. Ac and wifi are excellent. No brea...
It was my first trip to Buriram to visit a friend. The hotel staff connected me with a rental car, and we went out for drinks and Thai style shabu. Highly recommend for simple budget motel near the bus station.
This was my second stay at this hotel. I look for a hotel that is clean with a restaurant on site and is a good value. This meets all my requirements. Yes, I would book it again!
Smart Resort was a nice place to stay. It was very accommodating. And the staff was very helpful with our needs including arranging local transportation. It was very near the sites we wanted to go to, Phanom Rung and Muang Tam.

A really nice relatively new hotel but some distance out of Buriram Town. Transport is essential! Nice and quiet although on the weekends the swimming pool is inundated by kids from surrounding villages. Not great if you want to chill by the pool with a drink and book. Breakfast is ordered from a menu and is OK. It was surprising (and well received) that reception was ...
Very good option when own vehicle available
This would have to be one of the best places I have stayed in Thailand so far. The room is beautiful & 4****. The staff are unbelievably friendly, the breakfast was delicious & the grounds are so relaxing. Although not the grandeur of a 5 star hotel and might not have the idyllic setting of a beachside stay, the tranquility & value for money are unquestionable. If on a...
Old and dirty but if there aren't any options left in Buriram, it's acceptable.
The check in was quick and easy. The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were very clean and the water pressure was excellent. My favorite part of our stay was the excellent breakfast. The many food items, consisting of rice porridge, fried rice, fried eggs, vegetable stir fry, Red curry, coffee, juice, toast, jams, and butter really allow the traveler to leave well fed ...
This is a no-frills hotel in the middle of Buriram, only a few minutes from the train station. For the super-low price, we weren't expecting much. The room is fine, they kept it clean. The bathroom is also fine, and clean. The staff was friendly. Everything was fine, nothing outstanding, but that's okay. My only negative comment is that outside of the rooms, the ...
the jintana seemed like a more up market hotel compared to whats available in buriram. mainly because it is fairly new.the panorama was a bungalow type cement structure set around a big pond giving that resort feel.infact all the different types of rooms are all located around the pond. although the panorama was a little smaller than expected, its greatest features ...
Basic clean budget hotel, little bit out of town, 20-30min walk to town centre. Friendly staff, comfy beds
