Hotels near Embassy of People's Republic of China, Ulaanbaatar

This is my second time staying at Hotel Nine in UB. The location can't be beat. It's right next to Sukhbaatar Square, a number of museums, and tons of restaurants. The room was clean and well-provisioned and the staff was very friendly, as usual. Don't miss breakfast, which had a number of vegetarian options and coffee!

The room was very clean, the bed was big and comfortable, and there was a small refrigerator in the room. After staying for two days, a waiter came to clean the room every day. Because we didn't speak Mongolian, the sister at the front desk communicated with us in English throughout the whole process. The check-in experience was great. 👍🏻

The 2-bedroom apartment is very comfortable for two families, there are two separate bathrooms, and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking.

I stayed there over 7 nights. On the first day I arrived at 12 noon and the check-in time was 2.00 pm. After a 13 hour flight and car ride from the airport to the hotel I just wanted to get into the room and have a hot shower. Usually in all other cities and hotels in Asia, they would have allowed me to check in earlier if they had a room. In this case, they had a room but wanted to charge me the rate of 30% for that two hour stay. I paid for it as I was in no mood to argue over it and as my Mongolian business partners were with me and I did not want to cause a scene. The hotel toilet had a smell from the drainage pipe and they could not clear the smell even after I had complained. The service staff was generally pleasant although some of the restaurant staff need some further training. At the Chinese restaurant when I asked one of the waiter to change to a private room after being seated at the normal dining hall which was noisy, the waiter replied that he was busy. And asked me to go to the reception. Perhaps they are still a bit rough at the edges. Also, the 24 hour room service does not exist as is promoted in their brochure in the room. I had to go to the front desk and then I was directed to go to the coffee house to make my order. I asked why nobody picked up the 24 hour room service line and the front desk asked me what number I dialed. I replied 3222 as was in the brochure in the room and he told me it was 3150. I told him its 3222 as per the room brochure but he insisted it was 3150. I went back to my room to double check after placing the order at the coffee house and it was 3222 in the brochure. So either they have a wrong print or they have not updated with a new number. I was seated in the cafe many times and I noticed a gentleman who would go up to sign for a coffee at the cafe. I assumed he must be a senior staff of the hotel. If he was indeed a senior staff I thought he would be friendly enough to smile to the guests at the cafe and assume some if not all the guests are also guests of the hotel.

The hotel is located in the city center, 2 kilometers away from Genghis Khan Square. There is a big supermarket nearby, and Lanzhou ramen, Korean products, etc. are available for eating, so it is quite convenient. The breakfast is quite simple, and it seems that not many people go there to eat!

The Blue Sky hotel is an outstanding but very affordable hotel located in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. You can stay two or three nights of your holidays in this place to enjoy all the landmarks and activities around the hotel. It is a typical city hotel, not bad for the price. The staff are friendly and rooms have all the amenities including air conditioning, free wifi, toiletries, towels, hair dryer, toothbrush, shampoo and soap. The hotel has a spa and indoor swimming pool and the views from the rooms are amazing. The hotel is surrounded by plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars within 10 min or less walking distance.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Very good service, comfortable and clean room and facilities, excellent breakfast, and a renovated bathhouse have made my stay pleasant. The hotel has 3 restaurants (Mongolian and European, Japanese, and Chinese), a lounge that stays open until 2 am, and a cafe in the lobby. Business lunch set at the Japanese restaurant was a great deal and it was delicious.

The room is big and the facilities are good

The room is spacious and bright, neat and clean, the service attitude is very good, the facilities are complete, and the breakfast is also very rich.

Facilities: The hotel looks well decorated, and there is a four-star plaque hanging in the lobby, but it feels that the details are not up to the four-star standard. Hygiene: It looks good when you enter the room, but many details are actually not clean - 1. Both mouthwash cups are dirty (there are traces of being burned and melted by cigarettes, maybe some guests use the cups as ashtrays?); 2. The glass cups in the mini bar are obviously not cleaned; 3. The toilet area is not mopped; these are all obvious stains. Environment: The whole environment of Ulaanbaatar is very windy and sandy, and the cars on the road are dirty, so the hotel is also very dusty, about 25 minutes walk from Genghis Khan Square. Service: I don't know if the English communication is not smooth, the service is disappointing - 1. On the first day, the front desk asked us whether we would eat breakfast in the room or go down to the restaurant. We said we would go down, but they knocked on the door and sent it up at 8 o'clock (breakfast was a Western set meal); 2. On the second day, we chartered a car to go out before 9 o'clock, so we told the front desk that we hoped it would be sent to the room at 8 o'clock. As a result, when we went down at 8:20, he said he forgot... After waiting for 5 minutes, we hurriedly ate in the restaurant; 3. The staff who cleaned the room also forgot to give us toiletries... But when we checked out, the front desk helped us use the software to call a car to take us to the train station. Regarding the trip to Mongolia, we chartered a car to go to Terelj National Park. There was a horse riding project on the roadside. It was originally said that each person would pay 25,000 yuan for a round trip (2 hours). There were two of us, but in the end they said that the total was 150,000 yuan (including the person who took us on horseback riding, which was also included in our expenses). We agreed, but the guy leading the team couldn't tame one of our horses, so we only rode for 20 minutes in total and took the car back. In the end, they said they would charge 100,000 yuan... In such a place, we considered ourselves unlucky to encounter such ”barbaric” behavior. The 20-kilometer road on the return trip was blocked for 3 hours (the tour guide said this is a daily routine in Ulaanbaatar). There are many Koreans here, and the chain convenience stores are all Korean GS25 and CU. In general, if your vacation is very precious, Mongolia is not worth traveling.
