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

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!

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.
