Accommodation

THE EMPHASIS IS ON GOOD VALUE, CLEANLINESS AND FRIENDLY HOSTS.

A mixture of hotels, hostels, local guesthouses and traditional gers. Some may be multi-share but most will be twin share with private or shared facilities.

Hotels
For the most part, Vodkatrain groups stay in budget hotels throughout the journey. They are centrally located (or really close to public transport), clean and basic. Beds can be lass than firm in Russia, and more like a rock in China, but that's all part of the experience! We use hostels and guesthouses where possible to keep the cost down, and because they generally have a lot more character.

Guesthouses
Great way to experience a bit of local hospitality. With twin or multishare rooms (same sex) and shared facilities, they offer the comfort of a hotel with the feeling of a home. For a couple of bucks our hosts can cook you a meal, do your laundry and they'll even throw in the love & attention you've been craving - without feeling like you are intruding on their turf like some homestays!

Ger Camp
Staying in a traditional Mongolian ger is a highlight of any trip in Mongolia. You will stay in a ger camp - a small group of gers with some basic facilities (beds, a pot-belly stove that the local family will keep burning when cold, toilets and a restaurant).
