PS Hotel Saraburi — A Budget Highway Hotel Built for Stopovers and Wat Phra Phutthabat
If you are driving through Saraburi heading north or northeast and want a cheap overnight stop near Wat Phra Phutthabat, PS Hotel Saraburi is a small hotel right on Phahonyothin Road in Phra Phutthabat district that keeps prices very low. Rooms are simple and minimalist with AC, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi, plus free parking and breakfast included. To be honest, the selling point here is the location on the main highway, close to the temple and convenience stores, and the price — not new rooms or spacious quarters. It suits drivers passing through or pilgrims visiting Wat Phra Phutthabat who want somewhere cheap that does the job, rather than anyone after a full resort experience. From approx. ฿600/night.
What guests mention most about PS Hotel Saraburi is its highway-side location and very low price. The hotel sits right on Phahonyothin Road in Phra Phutthabat district — easy to find, on the mouth of the soi, with a convenience store nearby and on-site parking. Many reviews say it works well as an overnight stop for drivers passing through Saraburi heading north or northeast, as well as for people visiting Wat Phra Phutthabat, because getting on and off the main road is easy and the rooms are cheap.
The hotel itself is made up of small, simple, minimalist rooms. There are Standard and Superior options in both double and twin layouts, each with AC, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. The building has an elevator, a 24-hour front desk, a restaurant and breakfast on offer. It is a transit stopover hotel that focuses on convenience and price rather than spacious rooms or design.
"Great location, right by the soi with a 7-Eleven. Friendly, helpful staff and good value for the price — ideal as a stopover or for visiting Wat Phra Phutthabat."
The location is a real strength for pilgrims and anyone exploring the Phra Phutthabat area. The hotel is about 1.5–2 km from Wat Phra Phutthabat Ratchaworamahawihan, close to Khao Noi and the Phra Phutthabat town centre. Being right on Phahonyothin Road, you can drive on up to Lopburi, continue north, or head back to Bangkok with ease. From Bangkok it is roughly a 1.5- to 2-hour drive, making it a handy base for a road trip or a temple visit centred on Phra Phutthabat.
The part worth being straight about is the small rooms and inconsistent upkeep. Some honest reviews note that the rooms are fairly small, a few pieces of furniture are starting to age, and there are occasional cleanliness complaints. It is a stopover hotel with no swimming pool and limited common areas. Being on the main road, some rooms can get traffic noise. If you expect a resort with a full set of facilities, this is not it — but if you can accept a basic room in exchange for a low price and a highway-side location, it remains a workable choice.
On price, standard rooms on the booking platforms start around ฿550–฿900/night depending on the season and room type. The review score on the booking platforms sits around 7.9/10 from a few dozen reviews, which is good for a budget hotel at this level. It scores well on location, friendly staff and value, while its weak points are room size and inconsistent maintenance.
The verdict from real guest reviews: PS Hotel Saraburi suits drivers passing through Saraburi or visiting Wat Phra Phutthabat who want a cheap overnight stop that is easy to find, right on the highway, with convenient parking — more than anyone looking for a resort with a pool and full service. Set your expectations to match what it is — a simple, budget transit stopover hotel — and an overnight stay in Phra Phutthabat will be easy on the wallet.
