This was a perfectly acceptable place to stay, but I guess I expected just slightly more after reading the positive reviews. The location is good although I probably would have preferred being closer to the center of things (about 15-20 minute walk). There is no riverfront walk (as I had hoped there would be). I slept well and found the... More

Perhaps I was expecting too much after all the really positive reviews but I was a little disappointed. This certainly isn't a bad place to stay but it just wasn't anything particularly special. The rooms were clean and serviced daily but both my wife and I found them a little noisy at night - there was a permeating base beat... More

I was eyeing this guest house first time I came to Chiang Mai in 2004. Unfortunately, it was fully booked in 2004 and all subsequent times I was in Chiang Mai. This time I was lucky - I managed to book 4 nights (January 2012). And it did exceed my expectations! Room is spacious, with two windows (two sides), fridge,... More

I felt at home here! Galare staff emphasize friendliness and hospitality. And the cleaning staff was top notch. Rooms are basic and quaint but the beds are very comfortable! (I paid $200 in Khao Lak for a similarly comfortable bed and $90 in Phuket for a dirty bathroom!) Galare is an excellent value and right on the river. More

Galare was the cheapest place we stayed at in Thailand. The rooms were a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The in-house restaurant offered great food to keep us full of energy. The hotel is located on the river, a short walk from many of the markets and temples in the City. Would defintely stay at Galare again. More

Clean guesthouse. Amazing and dependable staff. GREAT location. Quiet and serene. I will definitely stay here again. Restaurant has great pricing and opens early. Travel services are located on site- which we used and recommend as well. Tour guides speak English fairly well and will chat with you about Thai culture and history during your drive if you are inquisitive.... More

This place is right along the river, so it's great to relax and also an easy walk to flower and night market and Tha Pae road, or take a tuk tuk (30-40thb) or songtaew (20thb) to other areas. There are no views of the river from the rooms, but their restaurant had a great view, plus some grass seating. The... More

the location is very close to the popular night market but set in a nice quiet spot on the the river. the rooms are large enough and are open and clean. the staff are very helpful and a tour organised through them was very good. although breakfast is not included in the cheap price the dinning area is execellent spot...
