Khubilai Hotel Ulaanbaatar
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.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want the highest-rated five-star hotel in our Ulaanbaatar sample at a price only a little above the city median. Skip it if you plan to walk to the central sights, because they are all more than 9 km away.

Khubilai Hotel Ulaanbaatar is our Luxury pick for the city. It has an official five-star rating and the best review score of the 14 hotels we compared. Travellers who will use taxis or a car anyway get the most from it, as do families, since family rooms and free parking are listed.
If your plan is to explore the centre on foot, this is the wrong base. Every sight we measured is more than two hours away on foot.
Location and getting around
The address is 017101 Khan uul District, 8th khoroo, Naadamchid Street. The location score is 8.9 out of 10, but distance is the issue here. Gandantegchinlen Monastery is about 9.7 km away, Choijin Lama Temple about 10.5 km and Sükhbaatar Square about 10.7 km. As straight-line walking estimates, that is 121 to 134 minutes each way.
Put plainly, these sights are far. You will need public transport or a taxi for sightseeing. Check how you will get to the centre, and what it costs, before you book.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you are driving. Confirm availability for your dates.
What guests say
The hotel scores 9.2 out of 10 from 144 guest reviews, which ranked it first of the 14 eligible properties in the sample. That is a strong result on a fair number of reviews.
We have no summarised guest comments for this hotel, either positive or negative. That means we cannot tell you what guests single out about rooms, staff or noise. Read recent reviews before you book, and pay attention to anything said about the trip into town.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible hotels in Ulaanbaatar. The Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, with a four-star fallback only at 8.5 or higher. Khubilai is five-star and topped the sample on guest score, at a rate close to the median. The location is the price you pay for that combination.
