Holiday Inn ULAANBAATAR by IHG

The hot water in this hotel room worked perfectly, no strange issues or rusty color. Overall, it was quite excellent.

Facilities: We booked a king suite, and it was very spacious. The living room even had an extra single bed, which I'd estimate could comfortably fit three people. The bathroom featured two sinks, a separate shower and bathtub, and a smart toilet. Cleanliness: Very clean, and tidied daily. Environment: It's in the city center. While not as close to Sukhbaatar Square as the Blue Sky Hotel, you can pretty much walk to most places within 10 minutes. Service: The service was excellent. Drawbacks: The toilet wasn't in a separate cubicle, which meant the large bathroom felt a bit wasted when someone was using it.

The price was higher than in my home country, but the room conditions were decent. Breakfast was just okay. Mostly, don't have high expectations for Ulaanbaatar. Although it's in the city center, the outdoor scenery isn't great, but it's within walking distance to Gandan Monastery.

Everything was good all around. The location is actually quite close to the CBD, only two kilometers away, but getting around with Uber was a nightmare due to terrible traffic. Every time we went out, it was a struggle.

The rooms, service, and dining all met our expectations. I was particularly impressed with Tuvshu, one of the front desk staff. He was excellent in both English and Chinese, provided meticulous and thoughtful service, and demonstrated high professionalism. If I have the opportunity to visit again, this hotel would definitely be my first choice.
