Toyoko Inn Ulaanbaatar
The kettle in the guest room needs to be throughly inspected. I made 3 changed; and all seem to leak after boiled water is left in the kettle. Overall am pleased with Toyoko Inn Ulaanbaatar.

Ulaanbaatar Hotel
An old soviet era hotel which has been well renovated. Right in the city centre, reception staff speak good English and arranged airport transfers and tours at a reasonable price. Large, comfortable room. Good range of food for breakfast, dinner quality is more variable but excellent Chinese restaurant ...

Nice place with great staff. My only complaint (which is common in this part of the world) is that I could smell the drain in my room.
