Benjatara Boutique Place Resort — a spacious in-town Lopburi resort with breakfast included, free parking, in the few-hundred-baht range
If you want a Lopburi stay that's spacious, includes breakfast, has free parking and costs only a few hundred baht — and you don't mind there being no pool — Benjatara Boutique Place Resort is an in-town resort that road-trippers to Lopburi book often · It sits in new-town Lopburi, in the Khao Sam Yot area on Soi Tha Sala, near Big C and about 10 minutes' drive from Phra Prang Sam Yot · Opened around 2012, it has 108 rooms in several types — twins, triples and family rooms with two king beds · Rooms come with A/C, TV, a fridge and free bottled water · Rooms start at about ฿520/night, good value for a spacious room with breakfast and parking in Lopburi.
Most people reach Lopburi by car, or take the train and rent a car onward, and many in-town stays are shophouse buildings with awkward parking and no breakfast · Benjatara Boutique Place Resort positions itself as an in-town resort with spacious rooms, breakfast included and free private parking · It sits on the new-town side of Lopburi, in Khao Sam Yot sub-district on Soi Tha Sala, near Big C and the shopping area, about 10 minutes' drive from Phra Prang Sam Yot in the old town · It suits travellers who rely on a car and want an easy-to-reach stay in the few-hundred-baht range, without squeezing into the busy old-town quarter.
The resort opened around 2012 and is a multi-storey building with as many as 108 rooms · Room types range from Standard Twin at around 24 sqm and triples at around 28 sqm, up to Family rooms with two king beds at around 32 sqm and Deluxe rooms · What reviews praise most often is the spacious, open rooms, strong air conditioning and the quiet that makes for easy sleeping · Rooms have A/C, a flat-screen cable TV, a fridge/minibar and free bottled water · The overall feel is simple and clean, leaning toward comfort and value rather than designer styling.
"Big, clean room, cold A/C, very quiet, breakfast provided and easy parking — great value for the price in Lopburi."
What makes Benjatara work for drivers is free private parking, breakfast included in the rate, and the quiet · Breakfast is served from about 6am with simple dishes such as fried rice and congee plus drinks — enough to fill you before heading out · There's free Wi-Fi, an on-site restaurant, a massage room, bicycle rental, a meeting room, a garden, a 24-hour front desk and laundry service · Worth knowing: there's no swimming pool, and some reviews note the Wi-Fi signal isn't always stable · It's more a comfortable in-town place to sleep than a resort to spend the whole day in.
The location is in new-town Lopburi, on the Khao Sam Yot side along Soi Tha Sala · It's near Big C and new-town restaurants, and about 10 minutes' drive from the main old-town sights such as Phra Prang Sam Yot, San Phra Kan and King Narai's Palace · There are convenience stores, restaurants and shops nearby · One thing to know: you turn off the main road into a soi to reach it, and some guests say it's a little confusing the first time — keep a map open and it's easy · This location is about driving convenience, not walkable old-town sightseeing.
On the numbers, Benjatara reviews well for a few-hundred-baht stay in Lopburi · Real guest reviews average around 7.9 out of 10 from 201 reviews, and it has ranked near the top of Lopburi hotels on TripAdvisor · The repeated praise is for spacious, clean rooms, cold A/C, quiet, good service, breakfast provided and easy parking · The common gripes: rooms and decor are simple for the price, breakfast choices are limited, some rooms lack a kettle, and the Wi-Fi signal isn't always stable.
Honestly, Benjatara Boutique Place Resort is a value-focused in-town Lopburi resort whose selling points are spacious rooms, breakfast included, free parking and a few-hundred-baht price rather than designer styling or full resort facilities · If your trip is a short road trip to Lopburi and you want a comfortable in-town room with breakfast and parking, and you don't care about a pool — this fits and is good value · But if you want a pool, modern designer rooms, or a walkable old-town location, look at other options in this roundup.
A tip from reading lots of reviews here: if you're travelling as a group or family, ask for a Family room with two king beds — it's more spacious and better value · Keep navigation open before you arrive, since you turn off the main road into a soi · Breakfast is included but the choices are limited, so if you want a change there's Big C and restaurants nearby · And because it's on the new-town side, drive yourself or have a ride-hailing app ready for trips into the old town to see the monkeys and ancient temples.
