Budget Hotels in Korat
5 Clean, Well-Reviewed Stays
from ฿450 a night!

If you want a budget stay in Korat that's within walking distance of the malls, Hop Inn City Center is one of the first to reach for. It's a central branch of the Hop Inn chain with flat-rate rooms, a 7-minute walk from Terminal 21 Korat and only about 280 metres from the SF Cinema. It scores 9.2 on Trip.com from 100 reviews, with guests praising clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a location you can walk from to the mall and restaurants without a taxi. Rooms are simply furnished with air-con, a fridge, a desk and free WiFi, there's a 24-hour front desk and free parking — a good fit for a shopping trip or a one-night stop.

Romyen Garden Place is a garden hotel in the city centre with rooms larger than the price suggests and a swimming pool — the top end of the budget bracket here at ฿1,150, but you get a lot of space for it. It's on Chomsurangyat Road in the centre, about a 10-minute walk to the Maha Weerawong Museum and the Ya Mo monument. The draw is the roughly 35 sqm rooms with comfortable beds and a separate wet/dry bathroom, plus a pool set in the garden, a cafe and an on-site massage room. Guests in early 2026 called the rooms clean and quiet, the staff helpful, and the whole thing good value — a fit if you want a roomy stay with a pool while still keeping the budget down.

Urban-Bamboo is a design hostel in Korat city with art-filled decor — a logo of a dog in sunglasses, slanted sea-green windows, and rooms styled for fun, like one with a vivid blue wall hung with Van Gogh portraits. It scores 8.7 on Trip.com and 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. There are cheap dorm beds as well as private rooms, a shared lounge, a roof terrace, and an on-site restaurant and bar. Guests praise the friendly staff, clean rooms with good-quality linen, and a breakfast they rate highly — a fit for solo travellers, couples and anyone who likes a hostel with character.

B2 Korat is a budget hotel from the B2 chain and the cheapest on this list, from just ฿550. It's the plain white block B2 runs everywhere, with 79 simply decorated rooms. It sits on the Muen Wai side, about a 4-minute drive to Central Korat and roughly 4.5 km from Terminal 21. It scores 7.7 from 758 reviews, with guests praising friendly staff, rooms larger than the price, comfortable beds and street food nearby. To be straight about it, some reviews flag cleanliness in spots that need a touch-up — set expectations to the price — so it's best for self-drivers who want cheap with parking on site.

Sansabai House is an owner-run guesthouse that backpackers have used for years, because it's a 5-minute walk from Bus Terminal 1 — handy for an early coach. It's in a light-purple four-to-five-storey shophouse on Suranaree Road, scoring 8.8 on Trip.com and 8.6 on Hotels.com. The strengths are English-speaking staff, a warm, homely feel, clean rooms with soft beds, a TV, fridge and a hot-water bathroom, and an on-site restaurant. There are cheap fan rooms as well as air-con ones. One thing to know: it's five floors with no lift, so you climb the stairs — a fit for budget travellers who don't mind that.
