Left on 03/20/2012 for a stay in February 2012
Recently updated, tho not quite completed when we moved in,nice furnishings,comfortable, clean, pity the smog was so bad, as the mountain was blocked out a lot of the time, and the balcony very small but adequate. All in all very good value for the money. Tho not as advertised a 10 minute walk to the main area and night market, it was a good 45 minute walk, but in a red taxi was less than an aus. dollar. I would like to have been made aware before arriving of a deposit, and water charges as well as the electricity.

Dominique
Paris (France)Nice accomodation
Left on 02/17/2012 for a stay in February 2012
I stayed in this studio during one week and enjoyed very much this accomodation which is like a second home. The studio (39 SqMr) is plenty of daylight, quiet during days and nights. I like the large cupboard, the balcony, and the full size bathroom, as well as the fully furnished kitchen.
The maintenance is ok, and cleaning is good. Something I disliked however, was that the cleaning lady changed the location of personal belongings. This never happens in hotels, and makes you suspicious. Another minor drawback is the time taken to fill in the bathtub with hot water. This is due probably to the heater. the air-con is good. So is the TV, with plenty of channels.
The check-in is standard. Everything being done swiftly while very casual. The people at the reception desk does not pay particular attention to you througout the stay. No good morning, no Hello, unlike people in Thailand, but it is back to normal at the coffee shop, with really nice staff. I was not satisfied by the lack of information regarding check-out time, which is not mentioned, not posted somewhere, and the staff at the reception desk was not able to answer properly to this question, due to poor English. After you check-out, do not expect any store room available for your belongings, which will stay somewhere in a corner of the lobbby. the risk is small, but not inexisting.
The location is not great, but convenient, as at 3mn walk from a main road, plyed with Tuk-tuks, and taxis (shared) are plenty. Expect 5 to 10 mn to reach the "square", and less for the night market.
In conclusion: if you live like the locals, it is a very good experience.

The Galae Thong Condo is a fantastic building. I have to be truthful even if this review makes the place more popular, and therefore more difficult to get a good rental in the future. My unit is clean, modern and very comfortable. Everything works in my unit. Everything works in the building. The management are friendly and helpful. The best thing about this place? The restaurant on the first floor serves some of the best Thai and western dishes in Chiang Mai

The rooms were nice and clean, modern furniture and quiet inside the building.
It had a well supplied shop and the restaurant was very good.
The downside of our stay was the noise outside the building from the dogs and there was no swimmingpool.
All in all, it was a very good experience. -

Without a doubt - best value for money.
The apartments are situated in a very quiet place, We always had a good nights sleep.
A little bit outside the city but only 5/10 minutes ride by tuk tuk and they never once tried to rip us off, average price 40 bahts,
baht buses were 20 bahts each.
Will certainly stay there again and recommend to anybody visiting Chiang mai. -

The staf is curtious, serveces good.
I'm happy with my choice.
I give it a 4* average for it's residential and stayability. -

Left on 12/12/2011 for a stay in November 2011
I arrived 2 November in the Galare Thong Tower - Chiang Mai - Thailand.
The lady of reception guides me to my room and it was a nice and
very clean room.
Cooking your own food is no problem.
Many kitchentools are available.
The cleaning of the room was good and the lady of the cleaning-service
very kindly (also all the thai personal of the Galare Thong Tower).
Wenn you like to stay in a quiet area (not to far away from the
centre of Chiang Mai), I recommend all visitors of Chiang Mai
to stay in the Galare Thong Tower.
Within 20 minutes you can walk to the centre or you can go by taxi
for a little amount of 60 Thai Baht.
Wenn you stay a longer time in Chiang Mai you can book a room in
the Galare Thong Tower!!! (very clean, nice room and very good prices for rental)
next time I will return to Chiang MaI and the Galare thong tower
again!!!
Nice people, good food, good weather enz.

Adelaide, AUNice apartment!
Left on 12/11/2011 for a stay in July 2011
Galare Thong is a very nice apartment building in Chiang Mai. The apartment we stayed in was modern and clean. We found the staff at the front desk friendly and helpful. As a short term visitor to Chiang Mai, I would give this place 5 stars if the location was a bit better. Unless you have your own transport, you will have to walk about 5 minutes to the main street to catch a red taxi or tuk tuk. There are always plenty of them in the area. Getting back from town to the apartment can get tricky unless you can speak Thai or have the address written in Thai to show to taxi drivers. The location is about 10 minutes from the old city and Night Bazaar. The apartment building is in a quiet area which has a more residential feel. I would say that it's a great spot for longer term rental as well. Swimming pool / gym would be a bonus. Overall, very pleasant stay

Monolocale molto ben arredato con TV, DVD, satellite e Wifi e cucinino completo di tutto.
nel condomino cafetteria/ristorantino, minimini market e servizio lavanderia a prezzi corretti.
Ottima scelta che consiglio, anche per il buon rapporto qualita' prezzo.

ChinaGood room, good place for long term stay
Left on 07/15/2011 for a stay in June 2011
Room is in good location, not noisy during nights.
Quite good for Chiang Mai standards. It looks clean and quite new. better than many hotels in Chiang Mai.
Air condition looks new and works well, and it's well placed very close to the big confortable bed.
There is tv, sofa and kitchen with some tools, microwave, toaster, juice blender but not rice cooker.
Bathroom is fine.
Recommended for long term stay, for those who are in Chiang Mai for work.
The condo anyway lacks of other attractive facilites (common, i would say standard in other Thai locations like Phuket or Pattaya) like swimming pool.

It was not easy to communicate with the people of reception, no english or not at all
the kitchen range was not with good utensils for electric what could be dangerous.
also the smell at the kitchen for the vermin, dishes where not clean before enter(cigarette buds between dishes)
A mosquito net on the window is a great must.
Cleaning well done,but kitchenclothes not available in the linen packed, it was not possible (a must, even for a studio)
Generally good value for the price

I spent a short time at the Condo and found iy very pleasant and comfortable. The condo was clean and well maintined and the management was very accommodating to my needs. I chose your condominium because i had stayed there before and enjoyed it then.
But i must say your friend George did not say very nice things about he condo, telling me it was noisey because apartments were being renovated. He did all he could to get emt to stay somewhere else. -
Mrs S
Oxfordshire, EnglandWe felt the Galare Thong was excellent.
Left on 04/30/2011 for a stay in January 2011
Initially we chose to stay at this appartment complex because we had come to visit family for New Year and they were living in the same block. This proved to be very convenient. However in addition to this we found the staff, particularly the lovely lady in the cafe where we breakfasted each morning very friendly and helpful. Our appartment was clean and had everything we needed - we would not have had such an enjoyable and comfortable stay had we opted for a hotel. We found the kitchen facilities very good and I even cooked a traditional English christmas dinner in my brother in law's appartment. Our appartment on the 4th floor had a slightly disappointing view from the balcony (building works next door), however the view from my brother in law's appartment on the 12th floor was amazing (especially at night)! The location is great, easy to find our way to and from the Night Bazaar by tuk tuk or on foot; but far enough away from the centre of things to be relaxed. We would definately return to the Galare Thong if we were to visit Chiang Mai again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was very nice and newly renovated and the restaurant was very convenient. Tak, the restaurant manager, was especially helpful and friendly. The check-in seemed a bit disorganized and the lobby could be more welcoming. Overall a really great place to stay longer term and for very reasonable prices.

Left on 04/22/2011 for a stay in October 2009
I had a very comfortable stay at this place.It was excellent value (i think it was £52 for the week)the staff were friendly and the room was very nice with the widest bed i have ever seen.With a fully kitted out kitchen,a flat screen TV and DVD player i had a very pleasant stay here.There is a 24 hour reception so that gave me peace of mind and they don't mind you having guests either.Also a continental style breakfast is included in the price.
The only 2 drawbacks for me were it is a bit too out of the centre of Chiang-Mai for my liking,making tuk-tuks a neccesity and the breakfast came with the worst Orange Juice i have ever tasted ! -

These apartments are well furnished and provide all you need. I have found it ideal for a one week stay on 3 occasions. It is a good 15 minute walk to the night market area but it is quiet because the building is set back from the road in Chang Klang. You can get a Sorng Tow at the Park Hotel nearby if you prefer not to walk.

Left on 04/21/2011 for a stay in April 2009
Good size clean room, A/C is a plus. Kitchen and utensils are handy. A bit disappointed with wi-fi in the room, oftentimes we had to use it from the lobby/restaurant area instead. If you decide to stay there, I suggest you rent a vehicle because I think it's worth it (rather than paying for taxi/motorcycle service everytime you want to go to downtown Chiangmai). Walking is possible, but you don't want to walk too long under the sun.

Chiang MaiVery nice but a bit too noisy to be comfortable
Left on 04/21/2011 for a stay in August 2008
The room itself was very modern and had nice appliances - coffee machine, toaster, microwave, flat screen TV. The furnishings are also modern making it quite good value for money. However, the wireless internet was also very poor and I often received little or no signal.
During my stay there was a lot of building work going on both in and around the apartment block making it very noisy. It is also down the street from a kareoke bar which is also particularly loud.
The pavement outside the building is extremely bumpy and not very safe to walk or drive on.
There is not a great deal around this apartment block to do, you have to take a tuk tuk and the restaurant is expensive and does not offer good quality food. -

Left on 04/21/2011 for a stay in March 2009
The apartment was nice, although off a large, very busy street that was not ideal. At that time, there was a lot of construction going on in the building, which made it noisy. Otherwise, the apartment itself was very clean, convenient, nicely stocked kitchen, DVD player and bedding. We would consider staying there again if we could find out that there was no construction going on on the same floor as the apartment.

Left on 04/20/2011 for a stay in December 2010
I stayed at Galare Thong (Chiang Mai) for six months from July 2010 to January 2011. The location of this condominium building is extremely convenient -- it is within walking distance from Chiang Mai's justly famous Night Market and the inner city.The studio room which I occupied was nicely decorated and furnished and fully fitted out with kitchen utensils. Khun Wanwisa, the lady who manages Galare Thong, kept my room spotlessly clean. All in all, I can highly recommend Galare Thong as a good place to stay in Chiang Mai, either for a short period of time, or for a stay of longer duration.

The price was right, for sure! For an old guy, it was a bit of trek to get to the eating establishments nearby--but worth the effort, and not a problem for younger folks. The room (actually an apartment) has every convenience, was clean as a whistle, and provided the perfect place to rest, study, and see the quieter side of Thailand.

Edinburgh, ScotlandFantastic Service and Value at Galare Thong
Left on 04/19/2011 for a stay in March 2011
Great friendly service at Galare Thong. I stayed for 2 weeks in March in Superior Suriya room. 4000 baht per week. Excellent value. Includes free breakfast and room is cleaned 3 times per week if you are on weekly rate. Spacious room. Very nicely decorated. Good furniture. Flatscreen TV 32" and DVD player. 30 minute walk to night market or very cheap taxi/tuk tuk ride, 5 mins. 7-11 nearby and many local shops, cheap massage nearby also. Galare Thong also does laundry very good price and has very good bistro. Very nice Thai food and western food also. Good value. Galare Thong is in a good location and is very good value. I have stayed in a few hotels in Chiang Mai and it is the best value for money I have experienced. Weekly rate is very good. The staff at Galare Thong are very friendly and very honest. Wanwisa does a very good job and she looked after my suitcase for free when I travelled for 2 weeks before coming back. Very clean rooms also.
Only downside for me was no swimming pool which is reflected in the price. There is a very good swimming pool at Chiang Mai Land which costs 50 baht to use for whole day. It is approx 20 min walk or 5 mins in tuk tuk.
Will definately use Galare Thong again and again whenever I am in Chiang Mai. -
