DavidAustraliaGood for Ulaanbaatar
The facilities were clean and we got put into a 2 bed dorm. Food and convenience store close by. Slept way better here than at Golden Gobi, which is one of the main ones in town. No mosquitoes and the people staying here…
TyraAustraliaStaff were amazing, facilities were clean, and there was a washing machine!!
