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.

My arrival and departure hotel
Pros:

The staff are very approachable and helpful. My room was clean and cozy. The breakfast is ok. They have cheap laundry service. Lots of restaurants, supermarkets and convenience stores around. I stayed at the same hotel when I arrived and depart from/to Mongolia. I have a big window to see the weather outside.

Cons:

No elevator from 5th to 6th floor. The hotel is located in 6th floor. If you have heavy luggage, it might be difficult to carry it. But since its just 1 floor, I think it is manageable. At dawn, I was awaken by the cold temperature. It was like -1° and when I returned the temperature in UB gets hotter so the room was a bit humid.

Quick stay before a Mongolian roadtrip
Pros:

Clean and comfortable space for 2 people.

Cons:

Hot water was broken and could not be repaired while we were there. This was not the fault of the hotel- had something to do with neighboring construction, just sad for us as it was a very cold shower.
