Best Hotels near Ariyapala temple, Nalaikh

5/5 stay. We arranged a pick up from downtown UB which included sightseeing on the way. This took about 4.5 hours. I booked a ger for 2 nights. The experience was magical. Even though it dropped to -3 during the night, it was very warm. Breakfast was usually eggs / bread / bacon. Good coffee. Showers/ loos were situated a 3 mins walk from ger. We arranged a 3 1/2 hour horse trek through the hotel. I would recommend this as it’s a great way to see the area. The horse were very well behaved taking us through rivers and overland. On our final day the hotel arranged to visit a local nomad and watch him bring his cattle in. Also throughly recommend. We ate dinner at the restaurant each night. Food ample and yummy. They were happy to cook non meat options for me that weren’t on the menu. All in all this was a great a experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would love to come in the spring!

1. Location: About 4km from Sukhabart Square (Statue of Chinggis Khan) Within 1km from Narangtol Market.. 2km from E-Mart 3rd store It is about 2.5km away from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, so there is severe traffic congestion. Given the traffic conditions in downtown Ulaanbaatar, it might be a bit difficult, but on foot It is located at a level where sightseeing is possible.. (It is not as good as the 5-star hotel Blue Sky or Shangri-La Hotel, but I don't think it's bad for a mid-range hotel location) 2. Facilities: As with most mid-range hotels, the hotel's facilities are It is slightly outdated, PUB on the 1st floor, and a pool and pool room on the 4th floor. There is a light, and the pub on the first floor is used as a restaurant serving breakfast. Yes.. Due to the hot water facility construction at the time of our stay There was a limited supply of hot water only in the morning and evening. There was a problem with the hot water shower due to rust, but the construction was completed It is unknown whether.. 3. Breakfast: some bread..vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes..sausages..fried eggs Simple breakfast menu such as boiled eggs.. Depending on the number of guests Served buffet style or as a menu selection Breakfast time starts from 8:00 to 8:30 in the morning and lasts about an hour. 4. Service: Reception staff are all friendly and communicate in English There are people who can speak Korean, but they will soon return to Korea. Since you said you are going in, will you be able to communicate in Korean in the future? unknown 5. Surrounding environment: There are Lotteria kfc Pizza Hut and Korean restaurants nearby. Opposite the hotel is the central mall, supermarket and local Fast food restaurants (like Korea's Gimbap Heaven?) and traditional markets There is a Narangtol market (it is a fairly large market and sells various products such as clothing, tableware, stationery, etc.)

This hotel does not meet the standards of other Kempinskis. My family and I travel a lot, like A LOT, and we've been to many Kempinski hotels. The problems started with our booking, which we made directly through the hotels' website (not a 3rd party). The booking states a 12:00 check in, but the hotel told us this was a mistake and their check in time is 2:00 pm. They allowed us to check in at noon without a fee, but it took series of emails in advance. We also booked the breakfast meal package through the website. On our first morning in the breakfast lounge, we were told we didn't get breakfast because we didn't have the meal package. Once again, I had to pull out my reservation receipt and prove (in front of other guests) that we had paid for the breakfast. They of course accepted the receipt and realized they made an error, but it was another hassle we shouldn't have had to deal with. The day before our departure, we requested the hotel have a cab ready for us to catch our early flight (we needed to leave the hotel around 3:30 am). The young man behind the desk indicated he would do so and that we could expect a 100,000 tugrik (about 29.00 USD) flat rate for the taxi ride (this is also what we paid to get to the hotel). After spending the day on the town, buying souvenirs, and spending our local currency (but saving taxi money), we returned to the hotel. I double checked with a different guy at the desk that we would have a taxi waiting for us. Afterall, as the evening Front Desk Receptionist, it would be his job to call the taxi company. It was good I double checked, because the other guy hadn't taken action and hadn't passed along the request. Moreover, when the taxi arrived in the wee hours of the morning, we were told by the Front Desk Receptionist that it was actually a 200,000 tugrik charge (double!). We were also told the first ”receptionist” we had spoken to earlier in the day was actually a Bell Hop and we were informed that he wasn't even supposed to be working behind the counter. As a result, we had no choice but to withdraw additional local currency (taxi couldn't take a card) from the hotel Front Desk (for a nice fee) in order to pay the taxi. What's particularly irksome is that we had plenty of cash which we would have saved if we had simply been told the correct amount. There were other issues, but this review is already lengthy... Overall, we had a less than stellar experience at this Kempinski. If you're going to Ulaanbaatar, I'd recommend you stay elsewhere. If we ever go back we'll probably stay at the Shangri-la. It's closer to the airport as well as the heart of the city.

We used the Alpha Hotel as a base, booking in on three separate occasions around a week exploring the Gobi desert and a two week stay in Khovd province. The rooms are spacious. When the hotel s busy, there is a buffet breakfast with plenty of choice, but at quieter times they bring a plate of different items and you just pick out what you want. They have a security room and will hold items for you when you're travelling and we found this extremely convenient. Polite staff and the restaurant is also good.
