Urgoo Hotel

Top choice in Ulaanbaatar


This boutique hotel has just 10 rooms, each one decked out in brown and beige furnishings, with flat-screen TVs and modern, albeit small, bathrooms. The prime selling point here is the location, overlooking a little park near the National Museum. There's a suave European restaurant downstairs.

Overall it's a nice place to stay if you're looking for something quaint, but keep expectations in check: the breakfast is a bit disappointing for the price and the air-con units in the back can be noisy at night.
