There are no hidden surprises here. You can tell that this is an old, Soviet style hotel from the minute you lay your eyes on it. Keep that in mind, and you may find that this hotel is just fine, and they try hard to make you comfortable. Within reason, that is. As long as you get one of the... More

This hotel is blessed with great location. However, it has done nothing since become the first 5 star hotel in UB in 1961. Service is poor. Rooms are large but useless. Most appliances in the room do not work (including the much needed humidifier). The decor is from 1961 with water marks on the wall. They do not even have... More

Initially booked in for a standard room 0big mistake. Swinging a cat was not an option and immediately upgraded. A much better room with a comfortable bed and separate working area. Choice of restaurants with a really good Indian. Central location and pleasant helpful staff. Not good value More

A hotel in the center of Ulaanbaatar, providing average services. Rooms are dated and offer nothing special. Price/quality ratio is poor but I think this is the case in most of UB hotels. I've booked a standard single room and I got a twin one. When I asked for a room with a double bed they asked for 50USD more.... More

The location is on the main thoroughfare in Ulaan Baatar, right across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. There is a park between the hotel and the main road, Peace Avenue. The building is old with a grand entrance and a broad central staircase that takes you up to all the floors - so you can tell that it... More

The UB Hotel, as it is generally called, was and still is the hotel for the UB elite to meet, the traditional conference and event location. It still has the look and feel of a Soviet-style higher end hotel but it remains one of the better choices in UB. The location is excellent, several renovations have upped the comfort, especially...

First trip to UB for a quick holiday and read previous reviews of hotels being less than desirable in UB so I wasn't expecting much. That was very helpful because this hotel is not a 4 star hotel by european standards. There are many things that could be improved with the physical accommodations however the staff were delightful and tried... More

I travel to UB for work and have stayed in a few "five star" places. I (wrongly) assumed the historic UB hotel would be run down and crap. But it is being revamped and I got a newly renovated room. I stayed there while on holiday. The service was just passable but all other aspects were good. In future I'll... More

I stayed in this hotel for 8 nights for business in UB. This is a fading hotel that will have difficulty competing with truly 5 Star properties coming on in the next 12 months. It will not even get a 3 Star rank in Europe, US or large Asian cities. There are so many parties that create so much noise... More
