"There's a KFC downstairs, on the main street between Ganden Monastery and the Genghis Khan National Museum, and it's also close to the National Department Store. Overall, Ulaanbaatar's core area feels quite small. This place seems to be a building run by Koreans; all the bars and hostels are called ”The Joy.” The one I stayed in was on the top floor, the seventh floor. You need to tell the front desk on the first floor. Strangely, there weren't many people there. The room was very clean, but the price was a bit high. It's suitable for girls and people who want a quiet place. Finally, note that check-out is at 11 am. The kitchen is in the middle hallway; the facilities are very basic—just a microwave, refrigerator, and water dispenser. It's okay for making a simple breakfast."

One of the best Hostels I’ve ever stayed. Sonny, the owner, is very friendly and always ready to help you with anything you need. The place is extremely clean, and the location is very good.
I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Ulaambaatar.
I stayed with my girlfriend who is Mongolian. I detected the receptionist's hostility towards her and found the receptionist's attitude a bit nasty. We checked in around 11pm. And my gf was the one who booked it. And she wanted to change the name to mine/foreigner. So there won't be any problems, but her request to modify the travelers' name through Trip app by the hotel was denied . And when we were checking in, the reception was demanding her passport for which she explained why they could use my passport instead. But after some minutes of explanation, we finally got to check into our room. I wish the receptionist was more welcoming. Although I don't speak Mongolian well, I felt the tone wasn't very pleasant. Facilities are minimalistic and modern. They have nice strip lights around the mirror. We liked the overall interior. One downside is the hot water often disappears. Apart from that, it was fine. There's TV in the Double room and a private shower. Nice amenities
