IBIS Styles Ulaanbaatar Polaris
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a modern 4-star room with a gym and buffet breakfast at a mid-range price. If you can stretch about €15 more a night, compare it with our Luxury pick first, and skip it if you want to walk to the sights.

This is our Best Value pick in Ulaanbaatar. It suits travellers who want a clean, modern 4-star room and a few extras without paying luxury prices. Guests describe rooms as spotless, with fresh carpets and well-kept fittings.
Business travellers may like that guests mention nearby energy offices. Shoppers may like the cashmere shops close by. A gym, a restaurant and family rooms are listed.
Skip it if you want to step out of the door and walk to the main sights. The hotel sits on the edge of the city, and every sight we measured is over 40 minutes away on foot.
Location and getting around
The address is Chinggis Avenue 81, Khan Uul District, 2nd khooro. Guests give the location 8.0 out of 10, the lowest location score among our three Ulaanbaatar picks.
Straight-line walking estimates: Gandantegchinlen Monastery is 3.2 km, about 40 minutes. Choijin Lama Temple is 3.4 km, about 43 minutes. Sükhbaatar Square is 3.7 km, about 46 minutes. That is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi to see them.
Guests do say public transport links are close. Check the exact stops and routes on a map app before you arrive.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 240 reviews, joint fifth of 14 eligible hotels in the sample.
Praise centres on the rooms. Guests call them modern and spotless, with fresh carpets and well-maintained amenities. The location gets credit for shops, offices and transport nearby, even if it is not central.
The complaint is about standard rooms. Guests report low water pressure and drainage smells there, while suites have soaking tubs. If the shower matters to you, look at the room type closely.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
For a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults), the reference price was €117.89 per night, about €236 in total. The sample median was €112.60, so this is slightly above the middle of the market. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, New West Hotel, is 3 stars, scores 8.9 and came in at €64.91 per night. Our Luxury pick, Khubilai Hotel Ulaanbaatar, is 5 stars, scores 9.2 and was €132.44 per night.
To be direct: at these reference prices the Khubilai cost only about €14.55 more per night and scored higher. The IBIS makes most sense if its price on your dates opens a bigger gap, or if you value its gym and modern rooms.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible hotels. The Best Value slot balances guest score, the number of reviews and price; it is not the cheapest option. The IBIS combines 4 stars, an 8.7 score from 240 reviews and a price close to the city median.
