H9 Hotel Nine Ulaanbaatar

The entrance is up the stairs to the right, facing the hotel. You might worry you're walking straight into the cafe, but if you continue, you'll find the elevator. The front desk is on the 3rd floor. The toilet and shower have a transparent partition, so the floor and toilet don't get soaked. Water pressure and temperature are perfect. There's both a rain shower and a handheld showerhead. Amenities include a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shower cap. A hairdryer, slippers, hangers, tissues, and bottled water are provided. Breakfast is standard and tastes ordinary. There's a place called Modern Nomads on the ground floor. Our guide said the food wasn't great, but as a Japanese person, I found it delicious. It's convenient because you can eat and drink late and then head straight to the hotel. Sukhbaatar Square is about a 3-minute walk away. There were no issues with the location or cleanliness.

The hygiene needs improvement. There were unidentified hairs, unknown liquids, and many stains.

This hotel was perfect for exploring the city on foot. It's close to a bus stop, and you can walk to famous tourist spots. The amenities were plentiful, with almost all the essentials provided. Be aware that the laundry service isn't self-service; you have to request it and pick up your items the next day. Breakfast was excellent!

The location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Sukhbaatar Square. The breakfast didn't have a huge selection, but it was tasty. Ulaanbaatar traffic is really bad, and I regretted not bringing a mask. Because of the heavy traffic, it takes about 2 hours by bus from the airport to Sukhbaatar Square.

It's a bit of a walk from Sukhbaatar Square, but the hotel is conveniently located with a restaurant right downstairs and a convenience store directly across the street. The facilities are clean, water pressure is strong, and shampoo and toothbrushes are provided. It would be perfect if they also offered pajamas. I felt reassured by having staff at the reception even for an early morning check-out. This might be true for Ulaanbaatar in general, but it's probably best not to go out late at night as the atmosphere can feel a bit rough.
