Where to stay in Ulaanbaatar

When I first arrived in UB there was a pretty ordinary shed cluttering up the square with this dinosaur head popping out. The story inside of the rescued dinosaur skeleton was well told and fascinating. #dinosaurs

Clean room Amenities limited, but location is very good. The breakfast time frame of 2 hours is a bit short. Perhaps you target on business travellers, but 7 to 9 is not enough for tourists.

It's one of the closest hotels to the airport (though still 36 km away), which is its strongest selling point; on the other hand, the trade-off is that there is absolutely nothing around in the area!
