Ulaanbaatar
This family-run place has a fun, youthful vibe, with colourful noise-proof walls, comfortable lounges and lots of soft sofas. Dorms and private rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms are kept tidy. On the downside, it can get very crowded in summer. It’s inside a courtyard about 100m east of the State Department Store.
It also has an adjoining apartment with equally nice rooms.
