Close to the train station, hardy breakfast (it was extra price but worth it), our room faced a pedestrian walkway so no traffic sounds. Only birds, and the odd person walking by. The staff all spoke English with some variety of skill. They helped us with getting to the temple, and suggested things to see in the city. The drinking water was always full in the hallway. We came at a time of low tourism, but we lucked out that it was their Buryat New Year Festival.
