The Nest Hotel Phichit — A Clean, Central Stay Right in Town
If you're stopping overnight in Phichit and want somewhere central, where you can walk out for snacks, park easily and not gamble on cleanliness — The Nest Hotel Phichit is the name guests keep mentioning. A 3-star, 66-room hotel on Saraluang Road in the heart of town, opened in 2016. What people love most is that it sits right next to a 7-Eleven, with free parking, breakfast and tidy rooms from around ฿650/night. It's a practical base for drivers passing through or anyone in town on business.
What makes The Nest Hotel Phichit popular among the town's accommodation is its genuinely central location. The hotel sits on Saraluang Road with a 7-Eleven right next door — something real reviews mention again and again. Need water, a snack or toiletries late at night? It's just a few steps away. From the hotel it's only a short drive to the Phichit town market, the train station and the local restaurants, making it ideal for anyone on business or breaking up a road trip.
On the rooms, past guests agree they're clean, comfortable and better kept than you'd expect at this price. Rooms are decorated in bright tones with a flat-screen TV, air-con, a fridge/minibar, hot water and free Wi-Fi. The hotel opened in 2016, so it still feels fresher than many older properties in town. Room sizes are right for a one- or two-night stay — not huge, but sensibly laid out.
Room types run from Standard Twin and Standard King up to a Corner Room and a Suite with a separate living area. Most rates include breakfast for two, described in reviews as freshly cooked Thai dishes that are perfectly decent. The staff earn frequent praise too — friendly, helpful and looking after guests almost like family, which gives the place a warm, local feel.
"Clean room, comfortable bed, right in the city centre with a 7-Eleven you can walk to, free parking out front, and lovely staff. Six or seven hundred baht with breakfast is good value for Phichit."
To be honest, the main thing reviews flag on the downside is cleanliness and upkeep that aren't always consistent. Most guests get a nicely clean room, but a few have found a room that wasn't thoroughly tidied, or morning coffee that wasn't to their taste. It depends on the room and the timing. If your room doesn't feel right, just ask the front desk to switch — the staff are fairly flexible.
Another thing to budget for is that staff speak limited English and some rooms don't have a hairdryer in the room (you can borrow one at reception). For Thai guests driving in, this barely matters, but overseas travellers may want a translation app handy. And while it's central, Phichit is a small town — the main sights like Bueng Si Fai lake or Wat Tha Luang still need a short drive, so you can't walk to everything.
Overall, The Nest Hotel Phichit scores 8.4 out of 10 on Trip.com and ranks among the top hotels in Phichit on Tripadvisor. It's a well-judged stay for anyone who wants a clean, central room next to a convenience store with free parking, all on a budget. Rates start around ฿650 for a Standard and rise to roughly ฿1,650 for the Suite with its separate living room. If you're overnighting in Phichit and value convenience and value for money, this is a dependable pick.
