Bayan Govi Hotel

The Gobi


This friendly, motel-like place is the town's best budget choice. Rooms are simple, but clean and bright, and management are welcoming to foreigners despite not speaking English. Rooms sleep up to three and have wood floors, cable TV and plenty of light. You'll have to forgive the wonky ceilings.

They do not have air-con, however, and that is an issue in the summertime.
