Hostels di Ulaanbaatar

The place is located in city center, perfect to reach every single attraction in the city. Full of restaurants, shops, supermarkets around. Police station in front, super safe area. Good view from hotel, quiet place, and the owner is very kind and calm. He distributes people in room so aren’t that crowded. I liked my stay and I will come back for my last 2 days in Mongolia.

Really Disappointing Communication, But Decent Hostel Overall I contacted the hotel through Trip.com a week before my arrival but they never responded. I also sent two direct emails with no reply, and when I tried calling, the number didn’t work, not even when a Mongolian with a local SIM card tried. They claim to offer a shuttle service, but my request was ignored, then rejected bia trip.com, and I had to arrange my own transport. Only ONE HOUR BEFORE my flight departed did they finally message me saying they could arrange it, which was far too late to be useful. Also they couldn't be trusted at all. Communication and customer service were extremely extremely poor. Wondering if they ignore requests on purpose and they just cant be bothered replying to emails and messages? My check-in was quite late, around 1:00 am, and since their website says check-in is only until midnight, I just wanted confirmation it was okay, but they ignored all my messages. That said, the hostel itself is decent. The capsule beds are comfortable, even though my USB charger did not work. The showers are ok, and breakfast was ok too. Special thanks to the morning reception ladies who were kind and helped me get a Unitel SIM card. To be noted that it is not even allowed to drink alcohol in the lobby, not even to quietly have a beer with someone else. I understand it is not a party hostel, but this rule feels a bit exaggerated. Left after 1 night and went somewhere else where they offered a much better service

OK- less expensive than many for the room, has potable cold water dispenser on every floor, window opens (but no screen, but no insect issues), no elevator, no A/C unit (had to leave hallway door open to get any breeze, but never attacked; and staff did bring a fan to the room when they noticed I kept the door open over my 4 night stay), place is directly across the street from a CU24, and a nice Korean restaurant, adjacent night club could be well-heard until 3AM (phone white noise machine sound helped), staff are tough but fair- respond pretty quick to any message sent through the Trip.com message thing ( needed more TP, and noise in the hallway), apparently family run, I was nice to them and they were nice to me, No elevator. All and all the room needs a fan, and know that adjacent nightclub parties hard into the wee hours- pretty decent 2000s to 2020s.. WiFi was tricky to capture initially but then locked-on well once targeted in memory- try different position in room for capture, and try different floor if needed. Cheaper price but some drawbacks- a fan would be transformative.
