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

The burnt out old wrestling palace has not changed since I arrived here over 18 months ago. I think it'll probably just languish here in this state until it falls over. Just like an old wrestler perhaps!

Sansar

The restaurants and shopping are a few reasons travellers visit Sansar. Want to see more of the surrounding area? Sukhbaatar Square and Chinggis Khan Statue are a few top sights nearby.

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!

I took this photo as a 360 degrees image. I am interested to see how it looks on Trover. There is a mural running the whole way around the monument and you can see people looking down the hill back to UB. The monument was built by the Russians as a memorial to unknown soldiers and heroes.

In winter it can be smoky and you may need a mask. My wife is Mongolian so I knew it was going to be cold but to experience-38 was unreal.
