• Nice, But no AC in the shower!

  As pointed out by so many, this is a good guest house in a good location on the bank of the river Ping and within walking distance to the night bazaar. Rooms are cosy and homely with TV and air con. But, in the room we stayed in the air con did not cool down the bathroom and it got quite humid and in April that can make things a bit uncomfortable!! Overall a good choice in a good spot!

• Nice guesthouse

  The room was large, comfortable, and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. They chatted up things they offered, such as Muay Thai tickets which we got, but were never pushy.

• nice but book your own tours

  Galare was very comfortable and clean. The grounds were attractive and the staff were very chatty and friendly. The restaurant served tasty meals. One complaint is - do not let them charm you into booking treks without checking with the companies yourself. We ended up paying 1200 baht intstead of the 800 baht the rest of our group paid for our trek because we booked through Galare not the company.

• beware !!

  stayed at Galare end of january 2007 and my wallet I left for an hour or so anattended in my room was stolen. Passport, creditcard, ATM card, airline ticket and about US$ 1100,- (stupid me !) all gone ! The wallet was found next day under a tree in a soi clese to the guesthouse without any money in it. Manager said they had a similar case two month ago. so if you want to stay there (it is a nice place, a bit on the expensive side) be very, very careful with your belongings

• Very pleasant

  Nice setting, large, well-equipped rooms, helpful staff and convenient for the Night Bazaar. Slightly on the expensive side.

• Great place!

  Very nice and confortable for a reasonable price, I stayed in a nice double room with AC, fan, fridge, shower, etc. It was very confortable & clean. The restaurant is worth to try, I was delighted with the ''rice with pineapple'', the best I tried! They arrange for you all kind of tours around, very nice people!

• Lovely!

  I stayed in two different rooms at the Galare. The first was a twin room with air-con, private bath, fridge, TV & phone. The second was a single with all of the above amenities except the TV. The twin room was 950B and the single was 450B. The guesthouse itself is very charming and both rooms were extremely clean. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. They were able to recommend a cooking school for me that was just terrific. If there's one drawback, it's the internet ... the access is great, but it's a little pricey. There's a much cheaper cafe around the corner. I recommend the Galare without hesitation and would stay there again myself in a heartbeat.

• Nice Access to Night Bazaar

  I don't remember what we paid, but the staff were friendly and the rooms decent. The only issue was the music at night ... we couldn't ever figure out where it was coming from. The location is ideal for walking to the night bazaar -- which is lots of fun. Galare was also great to hold our stuff while we travelled to other areas of northern Thailand.

  Paid only 450B/single, ground floor, air-con, fridge, but they have only a few of these singles. Good location, pleasant yard on river bank. Loud music some nights from Cottage bar across river. Nice enough to let my guest have one of the few parking spots. Happy to do travel agent work for you at reception desk. Internet, but a better net cafe on the corner.

  The prices quoted above are what we paid for a double with an extra bed! 780 + 250 THB. Pleasant room with everything working and clean. Fridge, air-con, fan, shower with hot and cold water. Very attractive restaurant where we ate good breakfasts served by pleasant staff. We were on the ground floor and got the impression that first floor rooms might be larger. They also had little bays with chairs to sit on. We'd go for those rooms if we stayed again. Good location for the centre of Chiang Mai without being crowded and noisy. River setting very attractive.
