International Hotel Ulaanbaatar

I have stayed in hotels of many countries, this one is among the worst. Said to be 4star, but less than 3 star. Staff are ok, but spoke almost no english --- and they called it "international". Toilet smelled, room small, TV not working. Hotels.com shld review its ranking.

Overall affordable stay near city center - a 25min walk to Black Market and other points of interest. The staff speak VERY LIMITED English so communication was not the easiest. The facilities are a bit worn - on the first night there was a leak from my ceiling AC and bits of the ceiling fell. The hotel gave me a new room right away, but the new room had missing amenities like towels and soap and the running water was yellow (likely due to pipe rusting). The door was also not fully functional and took a special angle to close and lock properly. The hotel also does not have laundry service like it advertised. I didn’t see another person staying there during my two nights, so I’m curious how the hotel is doing overall. Still, the basics were all good.
