About

Galare Thong Tower

Galare Thong Tower sits on Chang Klan Road, about a 25-minute walk from Tha Phae Gate. It is an aparthotel, meaning rooms come with kitchen facilities and more space than a typical hotel room, while still offering services like housekeeping and a restaurant.

The property includes a shared lounge and a golf course. Guests can use the in-house restaurant, bar, and coffee shop, and there is free private parking and a complimentary airport shuttle.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Self-catering convenience — Studios and apartments come with kitchenettes, including a microwave, electric kettle, fridge, and often a toaster – letting you prepare meals during your stay.
  • Free private parking and airport shuttle — On-site parking is free, and the hotel provides a complimentary airport shuttle – a practical plus in Chiang Mai.
  • Quiet yet central location — Situated near Chang Klan Road, the property is a 25-minute walk from Tha Phae Gate and close to the night market, supermarkets, and local eateries, while staying peaceful.
  • Supportive, well-liked staff — Guests repeatedly mention friendly and accommodating staff, with some naming individuals who went out of their way to help.
  • Spacious rooms with bathtubs — Several room types include a bathtub and balcony, and reviews note the rooms are clean and well-sized.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Overall guest rating is modest — With a composite rating of 5.5/10 and category scores around 5.6–6.6, expectations should be tempered – though individual reviews are often more positive.
  • Rooms and value score lower than service — Room and value categories sit at 5.6 and 5.8 respectively, which are the weakest points according to guest feedback.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only possible between 12:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
  • Limited room variety for some groups — Only one room type is a true two-bedroom apartment, and the family room uses a sofa bed – not ideal for larger families wanting more private sleeping space.
