My stay was in August of 2011. I was with an Earthwatch group, and we spent time at Zaya's at the beginning and end of our trip. It was a remarkably pleasant place, with a friendly, outgoing owner, a kind and helpful staff, as well as comfortable rooms. Nothing not to like about the place. I suspect very interesting people...

I stayed here for 2 weeks with a Habitat for Humanity team building homes in UB. Zaya accomodated our group nicely. Everyone working there is very friendly. We had breakfast prepared early for us every day, and there is common space for group chats. American tourists/visitors do need to be aware of a few things. This is a hostel, not... More

Zaya Hostel was a very well kept, clean, and the staff was kind and helpful when I had questions about seeing things, Mongolian phrases, or using their facilities. It's pricier than other hostels around UB, but is well worth the cost if you're looking for some quiet down time and privacy. More

The Zaaya is the place to go in Ulaanbaatar. It has a common bathroom just as many of the budget options but not and many people per bathroom as other hostels. The location just off peace road is convenient and there are a lot of places to go just around the corner. More

We stayed here the last two nights of a four night stop over in Mongolia, part of our Trans Siberian Train journey to Beijing. We had a wonderful two days riding horses on the Steppes (www.Stepperiders.com) but were ready for some comfort after two nights sleeping in a ger (Mongloian for a yurt style tent). Zaya's didn't disappoint. It is... More

When I arrived in Ulaan Bataar, I ended up at some hostel for my first night. While not a horrible experience, it was cramped and staying there was like staying in a college dormitory. Thankfully, I found Zaya's just up the street. A single room cost the same as a single at the hostel, but was so much more spacious.... More
