The Blue Sky Hotel has a lot going for it, but ultimately didn’t meet expectations, especially considering the price. The location is absolutely fantastic, with a stunning view overlooking Sükhbaatar Square and easy walking access to great restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. Arranging airport transportation through the front desk was quick and convenient.||Our room was clean, and some of the staff were friendly and helpful. Others, while not rude, seemed indifferent or disengaged. One odd detail was a notice instructing us to let the shower run for 20 minutes to flush rust from the pipes, which was a little off-putting.||The biggest issue was the heat. Because the hotel is made almost entirely of glass, our room felt like a greenhouse. The air conditioning struggled to cool it down, and even at night it remained uncomfortably warm. The blinds did not fully cover the unusually shaped windows, so a lot of sunlight came in early each morning. This may not be a problem most of the year, since Mongolia is usually quite cold, but we were there in July and the heat was a major issue.||There is a cool outdoor bar next door that features live music. It creates a fun atmosphere, but the noise was quite loud and could be a problem for anyone who wants to sleep before midnight.||The hotel shows some wear and feels a bit dated in places. While it has a lot of potential, it did not quite deliver the comfort or value we were hoping for.
