Stayed here as it was close to train station. The efforts of the lady at reception was exceptional. Her English was brilliant but her help in organizing a driver to Black Market and to Train Station was very much appreciated. It must be her business as she cared so much that we had a good stay. Thank You.

The hotel is within a 10 min walking distance of the train station & within a 5 min walking distance to the main Peace Avenue road.... I booked a standard room, which turned out to be a spacious 1 bedroom. It had a separate living room..... the room was well furnished & the bed was super comfy. The bathroom had one of those massage shower cubicles, but none of the water jets were functioning. Even the hot water was a little iffy, coming out either boiling hot or cold. The washbasin was inaccessible because the shower cubicle was too close to it & could only be used from the side. The bathroom was the spoiler in an otherwise pleasant experience. Sarah, from the main desk, deserves special mention, as she was very helpful in giving me suggestions of places to visit & helping me find a local SIM for my hotspot device. She also organized a great day trip out for me to the Chinggiz Khan Statue Complex......

Good experience
The location is very close to the railway station, but I could walk most anywhere in Ub within 3km. Free breakfast at the hotel's table service restaurant. Very helpful receptionist who spoke Chinese and English. The only surprise was that the water was in the shower was a little dirty. Maybe this condition is normal in Mongolia, but could easily be fixed with a water filtration shower head.

Dated hotel
The receptionist was friendly spoke English quite well, but apart from that our experience at the hotel was poor. The carpet was worn, the fridge didn't work (which our receptionist was aware of prior to us telling her), the water in the shower didn't get beyond lukewarm, and overall the hotel felt poorly maintained. We booked this hotel because we thought we'd be able to walk to the train station in the morning, but the infrastructure between the hotel and the train station wasn't good, so we ended up just taking a car. We probably wouldn't stay here again.

Great stay! The hotel has an easy to arrange airport pickup which makes it super simple even when you’re arriving very late at night. The cost is 15usd and 100% worth it. We were also given a free upgrade when we arrived likely due to the fact that it was off season. An amazing extra! Breakfast in the morning was great. Sausage, eggs, salad, tea, coffee, yogurt, fruit, and toast with a number of spreads. Each breakfast is made fresh for each guest which was wonderful. The woman at the check in desk also spoke perfect English and was very kind and friendly.

Helpful English-speaking front desk staff. Hotel restaurant pricey. Lots of authentic Chinese restaurants one long block east on the road that leads north from train station. Good - reasonable fixed-price shopping at "Made in Mongolia" stores 100m east of train station - walking distance from hotel.

Brillant Hotel
This hotel is fantastic, the staff are amazing and couldn't do more for you. We had booked a trip to visit one of the national parks and because we were leaving before breakfast was served, the receptionist had ensured the chef (who cooked and amazing breakfast) had prepared us a take-away breakfast.

Great Staff, Not Perfect
I couldn’t have asked more from the staff, they did their absolute best to help me arrange plans and meet needs. The things I didn’t enjoy were out of their control. The hot water on top floors is having issues due to pump so it takes minimum 20 minutes to warm up, which is annoying but also incredibly wasteful. The location is a bit run down and not convenient to anything- except the train station, which is close by. The airport “shuttle” was a beat down generic van that smelled of smoke; I expect better from Best Western. Other than that, spacious rooms, clean, good housekeeping, etc. Ultimately recommend but know what you’re getting into, and remember that this is pretty good for Ulaanbaatar.

One of the BEST stays.
Staff were super accomodating; meals were sumptuous (although we only have breakfast); facilities were just what we needed; internet... fast. It exceeded my expectations.

Great large beautifully furnished room with ultra high tech shower. The best part was the incredible service from Gana at the front desk, who went way out of his way to accommodate us with our requirements. The epitome of excellent customer service!

The best hotel experience!
The hotel itself deserves 10/10 score. It is very clean and serves generous breakfast. The wifi is very fast. The hotel staff are the best! They went the extra mile from the moment we were picked up at the airport until the time we were dropped off the train station. They helped us find a traditional costume rental shop, booked our taxis and spoke to the driver to take us where we wanted to go. I highly recommend this hotel for those who plan to visit Ulaanbaatar.

Great stay near the station
We loved our stay here. All of the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is smart and well appointed. The location is good for the rail station but expect to take taxis for any other trips into the city. There are a few restaurants nearby, but not that many. Breakfast is good with some interesting choices. We ate in the hotel one night and there was plenty of choice and big portions. Would stay again.
