Very comfortable hotel with well-equipped rooms and a decent restaurant downstairs. There is a convenience store 100m away across the bridge and Peace Avenue is 5 minutes walk. The helpful reception staff made for a very enjoyable stay on both a Sunday and a Wednesday night. Highly recommended ....

Booking.comI recently stayed at J Hotel on two separate occasions. We used this hotel as a transit point in and out of Mongolia, so did not explore Ulaan Bataar in any detail, so cannot comment fully on the location nor proximity to sights.
The room itself was well-sized and clean. The best part was that there was a washing machine, which was very welcome after 1.5 weeks on the train. The beds were comfortable and some basic coffee/tea supplies were provided. It was also possible to order food from the restaurant downstairs and have it delivered to the room as room service. The water pressure for the shower was good.
Customer service could be improved, however. I emailed the hotel in advance to ask them to accept delivery of our train tickets, and there was a long delay before receiving a response which was not understandable (poor English) so we had to make other arrangements. In addition, the front desk was already aware that we had an early departure (around 6am), as we had already informed them off this upon check-in, but at 11:30pm, when I was sleeping, the front desk called to check what time were were leaving (no idea why they needed to call). This was very disruptive and inconsiderate. In addition, I was told on checking in that I could charge the room service to my room and pay the next morning, but the person who delivered the meal insisted on cash payment immediately. Whilst I was able to convince him that I would pay the next morning, he was rather rude about the whole thing. in terms of breakfast, our breakfast was included in our room price and it was mediocre.
Overall, however, the room was decently priced, clean and functional and the use of the washer machine was very helpful. I would give this establishment a rating of 3.5 , but have rounded up to 4.
The hotel was both the starting point and end point of a two week Mongolia adventure tour. Location is good, about 10 minutes from the Peace Boulevard and a supermarket nearby. Checkin wa very smooth and front desk staff was very friendly. We had a corner room on the 10th floor with a city view. AC and fan in the room. Good size bathroom with lots of hot water and very good pressure. Enough light both in room and bathroom. Very good breakfast with lots of choices (try the chicken!). Breakfast starts at 07:30 and with the morning rush, seats were at a premium. You just have to sit with people you do not know, which is a great opportunity to exchange info. Overall a very clean hotel with lots of cleaning staff cleaning the whole day. Would highly recommend this as a vey good budget hotel.
Very good location with a good price. Running by Korean owner so the breakfast is Well made Korean typical breakfast and some wired bead and some. Good size of room with tiny kitchen with wash-machine.
We stayed here twice and found the staff to be friendly, interested and really helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and included a washing machine which was really handy on our return visit, cooking facilities and a large sink. Although the bathroom was small it was clean and adequate for our needs. our breakfast consisted of a selection of food, some quite spicy. We found the location good as we were able to walk to the city centre and back later at night feeling quite safe.
Spent 2 nights here as part of Intrepid Tour. Handy location - about 10 to 15 mins walk to centre. Staff are friendly and helpful. Spacious modern rooms. Good enough breakfast. Good Wi-Fi. No negatives. Enjoyable stay.
