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.

Best low-budget hotel in Mongolia!!!
Pros:

Lovee the clean room! The staff were really nice and approachable. Big shout out to Khublu for taking care of my concern about Mobicom. She went extra mile and I really appreciate it.

Cons:

Hotel is in 6th floor and elevator is until 5th floor only. If you don't have a big luggage it was ok.

Lugar limpio y acogedor
Pros:

El desayuno es diferente cada mañana y que tiene café e infusiones gratis durante todo el día. Además, está en un barrio repleto de lugares para comer a buen precio y a sólo media caminando del centro.

Cons:

No tengo quejas.

Se puede encontrar algo mejor por el mismo precio
Pros:

Todo muy limpio, había varias personas encargadas de la limpieza.

Ascensor hasta el piso anterior. Luego hay que subir por escaleras. Aclaro esto por si hay alguien con movilidad reducida leyendo.

Hay lockers para guardar pertenencias.

Cons:

La ducha no está separada del inodoro por lo tanto al bañarse se moja todo. Queda el agua en el piso por horas. No hay elementos para secar el piso.

La habitación es diminuta. La habitación (602) no tiene ventana al exterior y la única ventana que hay da a la habitación de las cápsulas. Es muy ruidoso, no hay ventilación ni luz natural. Pedimos extender la estadía pero cambiar de habitación y nos quisieron cobrar 150.000$ la noche cuando habíamos pagado 186.000$ las tres noches reservadas por aquí.

Cocina: no se puede cocinar. Está reservada para el personal. No hay utensilios, no hay platos, ni siquiera vasos.
Desayuno: modesto. La mesa del espacio común es acaparada por el personal a la hora del desayuno con lo cual hay que desayunar en la barra de la cocina que es pequeña y terminás amontonado con otros huéspedes.

El personal no habla inglés.
