Pros:

Clean facilities.

Cons:

We did not really pay attention when booking. We thought we booked pods but actually we ended up in a dormitory. There is only 1 room with pods but mostly it is dormitory so we felt deceived

Cons:

Totale Katastrophe: wir kamen mitten in der Nacht an und UBPOD hatte unser Zimmer an jemand anderes vergeben obwohl wir es gebucht hatten. Als Entschuldigung gaben sie uns ein ungemachtes ungewaschenes Hochbett in einem winzigen Raum wo noch 3 andere drin geschlafen haben. Das hatten wir nie so gebucht. Wir mussten mitten in der Nacht ein neues Hotel buchen.

Capsule experience
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay in my capsule. The staff is very friendly, prepares breakfast and coffee every day early in the morning. I arrived way too early and they provided a locker for free where even my huge Backpack fit in. The capsule itself is nice, cosy, and quiet, clean bathroom, living room very comfortable. The black market is only 500m away and you can reach the Sukhbataar Square within 30 minutes of walking. I highly recommend this cute little hostel!

Pros:

the place is clean and nice enough for the price

Cons:

the elephant in the room is that at check-in I asked the reception if I could enter the building during the night as well and they assured me that the door would be open 24/7. Turns out the door was not open 24/7 and I almost lost my flight the following morning after being stranded outside without my luggage for the whole night!
Also, the beds are too short, i could barely fit and I am not tall.

Clean, comfortable and well-located capsule hostel with helpful staff and useful facilities.
Pros:

Everything was clean and well maintained. The staff was very responsive and helpful, and the hostel offers many useful facilities. The location is good, about 20 minutes from the city center. Breakfast was included — basic, but good enough for a morning start. Coffee was available at any time, which was a nice bonus. Overall, the hostel tries to offer hotel-like facilities, which makes the stay more comfortable.

Cons:

The only thing I would not recommend are the spontaneous tour offers. It is better to discuss all details clearly in advance, including the full price and what is included, in order to avoid surprises or unnecessary extra charges later. In Ulaanbaatar there are many options for private tours or car rentals at fair prices, so it is worth comparing before deciding.

Not bad, but it is quite far from the main city attractions.
Pros:

There is a Carrefour nearby, easy access to the highway for getting out of the city, and some small local eateries nearby.

Cons:

There are six floors without an elevator, so it may be difficult for some people to climb up. There is also an issue with charging a phone inside the capsule.

Pros:

Хороший хостел, чистый, уютный, туалет современный, персонал приветливый. В 30 минутах пешком от площади

Cons:

Завтраки мне не понравились. Например, с яйца и давали треть сосиски а не целую… еще были пельмени с бараниной, для меня это слишком на завтрак, поэтому если кто-то тоже такое не любит, то лучше завтракать в CU.
