The stay at Hotel Nine was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke good English. The room was clean and spacious. Will definitely stay there again.
The hotel shows some wear and tear in spots, and the bed was really hard. But the room was large and the bathroom/shower was too. The staff are all efficient and courteous. I had zero Mongolian language skills, but most had good English and the rest used translator apps with me. The breakfast buffet was excellent when they had it, but on days ordering off the menu (still free) was good but not great - the choices were limited and only average quality. The location of the hotel was awesome! Very walkable with bus stops within a couple blocks. Convenience store across the street and restaurants all around the block. If we go back, we'll stay here again.
The manager is wonderful. She has a great deal of experience and is a wonderful conversationalist. The staff are kind and courteous. Breakfast is very good. The room was really nice. The hotel isn't a chain which, for me is a plus.
A basic hotel, kind of upscale backpacker. Monotonous breakfast, no restaurant/bar, unreliable internet, kind of shabby rooms, unreliable refill of minibarâŠ. But, suite there for less than price of room next door at Tuvshin. Great for walking
