Hotels near International Intellectual Museum in Ulaanbaatar

1. The location of the hotel is good. It is very close to Sukhbaatar Square on foot. It is also convenient to eat nearby. There is an excellent balcony on the roof, which is great for watching the sunset. 2. After staying for three days, the room was not cleaned every day, but the room was not cleaned every day. I communicated with the guy at the front desk, and it was like a chicken-to-duck talk. Every time I did it well, every time I didn't clean it. Only the young lady spoke better English and could make arrangements immediately after communication. 3. There is breakfast in the restaurant on the 6th floor, the variety is average, and there are CU and gs25 downstairs which are very convenient.

I came through Ulaanbaatar last year for a horse riding trip last year, and stayed in Springs Hotel before we went on to our trip. Before i flew home, the operator put us up at the hotel again for the last night. I couldn't find my card key when i was checking out and was fined USD10 for it. I was told that if i come back again, i could get the money back. I smirked and said well the earliest i would be coming back would be next year. They said that was ok. Fast forward to this year. When i came back, they refused to return my $10 to me. They said i had to return within a month (Anyone would tell you that's a stupid condition because how could you expect a hotel guest (who is a foreigner) to come back within a month). The girls got their manager to speak to me. My friend said that even before the lady opened her mouth, she already had a look of determination (that she was not going to pay us). The manager, Tuul had an appalling mannerism. She spoke in a very argumentative and belligerent manner and insisted that they would not return my $10 to me. I explained that i was told it would be ok for me to return a year later.. If i hadn't been told that, i would not have bothered to bring the card back. She then asked for a pink slip saying i would have been given one. I said i wasn't * i really wasn't) but they saw my card, they found my records of having stayed there.. so they knew i would have been charged $10 (they also said I don't have proof they have my USD10).. She looked like she couldn't comprehend.. started raising her voice as she tried to stick to her stand of not returning my money to me. I got so fed up, i told her that she could keep my USD10. I am now posting this experience online because I think it's appalling that they refused to return my money to me even when the facts are very obvious. It's very sad for the hotel if they are trying to make money from door cards. In the first place, the cost price of such a card is less than USD1. I knpw because i have a lot of hotelier friends. So USD10 is blatant profiteering. No wonder they wouldn't return the money to me. Even when the facts are obvious. I got so angry i asked for the card back. they gave it back cos they rather keep the money (an acknowledgement they knew they had my money but just didn't want to give it back). Shame on you, Springs Hotel.

I have traveled to many places far and wide, and NEVER expected to have one of the finest hotels I have every stayed in be in Mongolia! As part of my Mongolian Luxury Tours, I had THREE opportuinities to stay at the Blue Sky (arrival, return from Gobi desert, return from Western Mongolia) and each time was superb. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms, service, and friendliness made each stay very wonderful and welcoming. You can not go wrong with this hotel. It is GREAT!!!

My stay at the Holiday Inn Ulaanbaatar was a mixed experience, hence my three-star rating. There were aspects of my stay that were commendable, while others left a lot to be desired. Let’s start with the positives: the rooms were excellent - comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. Additionally, the hotel staff were generally amiable and courteous. These factors helped to create a pleasant atmosphere during our stay. However, there were some aspects of our stay that fell short of expectations. The check-in process was particularly problematic. Despite having booked a rate that included breakfast, we were initially told that this was not the case. We had to go to the extent of providing screenshot proof of our booking details to rectify the issue - a situation that was far from ideal and somewhat tarnished the initial impression of our stay. Furthermore, the laundry service was exorbitantly priced, and the hotel’s unwillingness to find a solution to this issue was disappointing. The pricing policy was based per item and not per kilogram, which resulted in a prohibitively high cost. This was particularly inconvenient for a long-term stay. In conclusion, while the Holiday Inn Ulaanbaatar offers comfortable accommodations and generally friendly service, the issues encountered during check-in and with the laundry service were significant drawbacks. These areas of improvement could significantly enhance the guest experience. As such, my overall rating is three stars.

I stayed at Edelweiss for a total of 7 nights as a solo traveler. It is considered centrally location but it is actually a little west of central, still a great location. Because of the traffic congestion, walking is the best way to get around (I averaged 2-9 miles a day). The rooms were clean, 2 bottles of water provided daily. The reception and housekeeping staff very nice, always available. The restaurant cafe is run by a different company/owner. It feels like a lounge and is nice place to hang out with glass of wine after long day touring. It is also popular with locals. It was closed on Sunday. The pasta dish & pizza were excellent. The complimentary breakfast buffet included tea & coffee (with warm milk for your coffee), juice drink, a very yummy cold oatmeal concoction with apples, yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs with meat to order. The breakfast coffee was subpar, but the restaurant served a great cappuccino (approx US $2.332). I didn't see an elevator; all rooms are on the 2nd & 3rd level. The hotel is tastefully decorated and the art on the wall is for sell. Just 1-2 blocks west are two restaurants that I highly recommend: Italian restaurant Albero's (on the east side of the Mika Hotel) and Lonsdale Art Lounge. There is no airport transfer service. I took a shuttle from airport for US$10.00. For my return to airport, it cost me $20.00. Allow minimum 1 hour. The street names in UB are confusing with poor signage. I consider the hotel to be on Embassy Rd., not Chin Van whatever Street.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, checking in late on the first night and leaving very early in the morning off the second night. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable with decent wifi. The staff were excellent - helpful and thoughtful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. If i am lucky enough to get back to Ulaanbaatar I will stay there again. There was one person in particular - the lady that worked the front desk on the night of Mar 7th into early morning Mar 8th (I didn't get her name unfortunately) - that stood out. She was an outstanding member of your staff and a wonderful ambassador for Ramada Hotels. Keep up the great work!

This hotel does not meet the standards of other Kempinskis. My family and I travel a lot, like A LOT, and we've been to many Kempinski hotels. The problems started with our booking, which we made directly through the hotels' website (not a 3rd party). The booking states a 12:00 check in, but the hotel told us this was a mistake and their check in time is 2:00 pm. They allowed us to check in at noon without a fee, but it took series of emails in advance. We also booked the breakfast meal package through the website. On our first morning in the breakfast lounge, we were told we didn't get breakfast because we didn't have the meal package. Once again, I had to pull out my reservation receipt and prove (in front of other guests) that we had paid for the breakfast. They of course accepted the receipt and realized they made an error, but it was another hassle we shouldn't have had to deal with. The day before our departure, we requested the hotel have a cab ready for us to catch our early flight (we needed to leave the hotel around 3:30 am). The young man behind the desk indicated he would do so and that we could expect a 100,000 tugrik (about 29.00 USD) flat rate for the taxi ride (this is also what we paid to get to the hotel). After spending the day on the town, buying souvenirs, and spending our local currency (but saving taxi money), we returned to the hotel. I double checked with a different guy at the desk that we would have a taxi waiting for us. Afterall, as the evening Front Desk Receptionist, it would be his job to call the taxi company. It was good I double checked, because the other guy hadn't taken action and hadn't passed along the request. Moreover, when the taxi arrived in the wee hours of the morning, we were told by the Front Desk Receptionist that it was actually a 200,000 tugrik charge (double!). We were also told the first ”receptionist” we had spoken to earlier in the day was actually a Bell Hop and we were informed that he wasn't even supposed to be working behind the counter. As a result, we had no choice but to withdraw additional local currency (taxi couldn't take a card) from the hotel Front Desk (for a nice fee) in order to pay the taxi. What's particularly irksome is that we had plenty of cash which we would have saved if we had simply been told the correct amount. There were other issues, but this review is already lengthy... Overall, we had a less than stellar experience at this Kempinski. If you're going to Ulaanbaatar, I'd recommend you stay elsewhere. If we ever go back we'll probably stay at the Shangri-la. It's closer to the airport as well as the heart of the city.

The place was clean and good accomodation. Loved the hotel and its decor along with the area to relax and enjoy breakfast. Really liked the breakfast and staff was very friendly and helpful. I would love to recommend this place.

Christina at check-in was my first experience of Mongolian hospitality. Efficient and clearly helped where she could, to enhance my stay. Rooms are spacious and furnished well. The gym has a funny rule about sneakers. U have to wear your slippers in, and then change to gym shoes?

We arrived with a friend at the hotel on 10/29/22 at 7 am, we were tired after the train and even though the check-in was at 11 am, we were immediately settled by a beautiful girl at the reception. I really liked the room on the 7th floor, there are bottles of free water on the table, tea and coffee, shower accessories in the bathroom, everything is free and by the way is replenished every day. The room was also cleaned every day. Everything is standard in the room, two large beds, a tea table, a kettle, a refrigerator, a TV (by the way, there are many Russian-language channels), there is a safe, which is very convenient. For breakfast buffet, quite a variety of breakfasts, very friendly girls cook omelettes;) Very good soundproofing in the hotel, very quiet at night. What I want to especially note is that at the reception we met a girl named Miga, she speaks Russian very well, she quickly settled us on the first day. Miga and then helped us a lot on all issues. With excursions, with a taxi, with purchases of Medicines, products, and even where to buy something. She gave her personal phone number and of course we constantly used her kindness. She is a golden person, because she never refused, but suggested where it was cheaper and how it would be more convenient. Miga, just because of meeting you, I really want to come back to Mongolia, to your hotel. I recommend the hotel, value for money, well, excellent staff! Thanks for the hospitality;)
