Mandukhai Hotel: Disgusting

This place classifies itself as a hotel, which I guess technically it is. You know a place is bad when your taxi cab driver goes to the room to drop off your luggage and looks at you to ask, "Are you sure you want to stay here?" The fact that this place is even listed in Lonely Planet is beyond me. We wanted a cheapy hotel because we just needed a place to shower up and store our luggage before leaving at 4 a.m. to go to the airport. We arrived in UB around 1 p.m so we knew we would not be hanging out at the hotel for that long. I've stayed in many places over the years. Of all types and this is the WORST place I've every stayed in. Lonely Planet says that the hotel has been remodeled. Bullsh*t. Oh, sorry, they did have brand new white crown molding but what's the point when the rest of the place is a dump. It was $35 U.S. a night. I'm sure you might be thinking.. "What do you expect for $35 a night?" However, I've stayed in cheaper places than that were cleaner with showers that aren't freezing. Awful. Shame on Lonely Planet. I usually have photos of every hotel I stay in but unfortunately, I do not for this place. You'll have to take my word for it. Just a photo of the building.

Unique Quality: None. Okay, maybe the location is okay. We asked the desk person to order us a cab for a 4 a.m. pick up which did happen.

Michid Hotel: small and very affordable

About 500 m from Strings and the White House hotel. A small 12 room hotel with excellent restaurant. You will be amazed about the quality of the food. And size. European style. Very friendly staff. They do not speak much English but that appeared to be no problem te me. Ask for Jason, one of the staff members if you have need for an English speaking staffmember. They will get him on the phone for you. The hotel is newly build just before the credit crunch and the rooms are really nice and tidy. Even minibar is at normal bar prices, which are too low, I think.

  • Opinion of Price: less expensive than average

Gana's Guest House: Great Backpacker hangout

Gana's is a great place to stay - on the edge of the Gandan ger district of UB, but only a short walk to the centre, it has a few double rooms and dorms ($5 / 7000togruk per bed), but the most popular place to stay is in one of the five gers on the roof! There is one private ger (1 double and two single beds) which can be rented for $20, or dorm beds in the other gers at $6 (8000 togruk).

Breakfast of bread, jam and tea or coffee is included, and there is free internet.

Unique Quality: It's a great place to hang out and meet fellow travellers over a beer or two!

Dream Hotel: Good option for the price

Odd name but I guess it's owned by a South Korean as they have hotels with names like this over there. Anyway, I stayed here for about 6 nights after my 10-day Mongolian tour and I liked it very much. My room came with a double-bed, TV, fridge, 2 armchairs, 2 tables and phone and was nice, well decorated and clean. The bathroom was very big and more like a wet-room kinda thing with a shower in one corner and again was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helped out with a few things. Breakfast was fairly simple and consisted of bread, cold meats, cheese, jam, biscuits, tea and coffee. My room was US$34 and double rooms are US$36. It's located just off Baga Toyruu where it meets Sambuu Street.

Gana's Guest House: Gana's Guest House

A 20 minutes walk from the station you will find Gana's Guest House (follow the road to Gandantegchinlen Khiid).

In the guesthouse you can stay in your own room with toilet/shower or stay in a ger (traditional tent). We stayed in a double room - nice and clean, but very, very, very cold in the night.

Very friendly staff and they can also help you to arrange tours to the national parks.

Temuujin's Guesthouse and Tours: Ulaanbaatar's Best Guesthouse

When we arrived to UB by Transsiberian train, Mr Kim from UB Guesthouse picked-up me and my wife, we went to his UB Guesthouse but it was really unclean, noisy and too big with very small rooms,so we moved to many other hostels and guesthouses for several days, and finally we moved to Temuujin's Guesthouse and Tours,we found it very very clean, very centrally located, very nice breakfast, very cheap organized tours and very good hospitality...
Showers and toilets looks very modern Ifeels like you are in five stars hotel)

Also, you must ask for their very good DVD collections (western, Mongolian and travel related movies)

They have 4 apartment-block guesthouses and two hotels in the center of Ulaanbaatar city.

Unique Quality: We stayed 3 days at "Golden Gobi" Guesthouse, 3 days at "Idre's Guesthouse", 2 days at "UB Guesthouse", but they are not good if you are looking for clean and safe places. After several days in prison-like places we are finally moved to "Temuujin's Guesthouse".

Now we are very happy, from our windows we can see Peace Avenue, we have tasty and free breakfasts every morning cooked by Temuujin's wife Nimaa, every evening we are dining together with them, and we feel more lucky.

If you are going to Mongolia or if you are already in Ulaanbaatar city, don't hesitate to contact us, we cdan tell you a lot of things about this amazing country.

khongor: hostel

the owner is reliable speaks good english and he can organize tours for any place in mongolia.we had few probs with the guide of our tour, nothing serious just lack of communication, and once we talked to the owner about that he prooved to be very understandable and professional and even if not asked he compensated us.very professional, highly recommended.
prices for a twin/double room is about average , we paid 12usd a night.I think the dorms where about 4 or 5 usd pp.very clean and central.

Bold's Guesthouse: A Trustworthy Guesthouse

We stayed in Bold's Guesthouse in UB and he was an absolute star. He picked us up from the train station in his beat-up Soviet ambulance, drove us to the best markets to buy wheels of cheese, and sorted out all the things we needed and any questions we had at no cost beyond the peanuts we paid for accommodation.

Unique Quality: Centrally located in an old, Soviet-era apartment block (cows roaming around children's swings).

Residents were good, kind people. I wrote a postcard home and forgot it somewhere in the area. Almost one year later, the postcard arrived at my parent's house...someone had picked it up, put postage on and sent it....11 months after I'd left the country!!
