The building looks like it's about to collapse but the rooms inside aren't too bad. And most guests end up staying in one of the nicer gers outside. The hot-water shower is fairly reliable.
This small, scruffy homestay is in the suburbs northwest of the market. It consists of several gers in a hashaa (fenced area), a pit toilet and a hot-water shower.
About 1km from the road, towards the river, this decent camp has clean gers and hot showers. It's hidden in the trees and popular with groups. The hostess speaks English. Rates listed are per person without meals.
Located 11km from Kharkhorin on the road to Shankh Khiid, this place offers better-than-average services. Horse riding and tours are also available for around US$50 a day for guide and driver.
This ger-guesthouse is a little cleaner and nicer than Mönkhsuuri but more expensive. It has hot showers and clean flush toilets. It's run by Zandankhuu, an English-speaking guide at Erdene Zuu.
The nicest camp in Kharkhorin is owned and operated by a Mongolian sumo champion, and geared towards Japanese travellers.
Ger accommodation and hot showers are available behind this restaurant. The gers are OK but the yard is a mess and they only have pit toilets.
If you prefer a midrange hotel rather than a ger, this is the best choice. All rooms are clean and comfortable and the lux room with attached toilet is good value. No rooms have hot water but you can use the hot shower downstairs.
