Though located in a part of town that's quite run down, the convenience of the location can't be faulted. Just across the road is the long distance bus station, 2 min cab ride away is the train station. Also in walking distance is Gandan Monastery (northwards up the street) and the main streets of interest (Peace Ave and Tourist Street, both eastwards). Inside the guesthouse, everything is clean, tidy and new looking. There's free wifi, lounge and kitchen. I was impressed with the laundry service which returned my clothes smelling fresh within 2 hours. The service was also really good -- the housekeeper is an endearing lady who's all smiles and ever ready to help. When I was in a hurry to get to the train station and didn't have change to pay for the taxi (which she flagged down for me), she actually gave me the fare.
