Staff were extremely helpful, about anything within the hotel. However, they didn’t have much knowledge of tourist information in Ulaanbaatar. I think this is because most people visiting are part of a group. "

"The main reason I chose the Chinggis Khaan Hotel was that it had a swimming pool and sauna. I was very disappointed that they were closed for maintenance during my stay. The receptionist who I spoke to told me they would re-open next month, which meant I could not use them. The room was big and comfortable, but my toilet seat was partly broken. The room was clean, but I noticed two flies in my room on my first night. There was a well-stocked mini bar, but the water was not complimentary, only the tea and instant coffee.There was direct access to a shopping centre across from the hotel, but on one day access from inside the hotel was closed, so I had to go outside and walk to the shopping centre. The breakfast buffet was good, but there were never any scrambled eggs and though you could often have an omelette, you couldn't have it made according to your specifications. The employee just made omelettes and left them for guests to take. There was brewed coffee, but it wasn't very good. On the last two days of my stay, there was no breakfast buffet. No explanation was given. Maybe the chef got sick, but at the very least, I thought the hotel could have compensated its guests in some way. There was free wi-fi in my room, but for the last three days of my stay, it didn't work well, In fact, it didn't work at all on the last day of my stay and there was no wi-fi access in the lobby. There was supposedly a Mongolian restaurant on the fifth floor, but I never saw any guests eating there except in the morning when the breakfast buffet was offered. Also unfortunate is that there was no menu for the Mongolian restaurant. On the first floor there was a Chinese restaurant, but I didn't eat there. The hotel is very quiet, but it's a little far from downtown. It takes ten to fifteen minutes to get downtown on foot. The staff speak good English, so communication is not a problem. In my opinion, this hotel is a little expensive. In hindsight, I wish I'd chosen a different hotel."
