"Location is what sells this hotel. However the rooms are not maintained to what they should be given the price point. Service is okay but no one is really helping you. At breakfast all the servers and staff were busy on their phone or talking to each other. Didn't interact with a single staff! Again ..."

"We had two people staying in the room and they never gave us two towels without us calling to ask for them!

I love the city and people

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Like any city, it has its issues, the biggest probably being pollution. However, I visited the city by myself, a single woman; no one else was with me, and I never felt unsafe. I walked everywhere, even at night. Friendly people, very safe.

4/5 - Good

Ed

It's definitely worth going out on your own in the city, once you're comfortable. You'll need a tour to the national parks. I found the monuments and places to visit slightly underwhelming, but Mongolia has a low population. It's worth a 2nd look.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Very congested, too many cars and crazy traffic.

2/5 - Disappointing

B

Weird town. Horrible traffic. Unable to drain rainwater - like they did not put a sewer system under the roads. 2/3 of the cars seem to be the Toyota Prius.

4/5 - Good

Chris

Very chill, safe, and enjoyable city. Very walkable. Good variety of restaurants and nightlife.
