Stayed at this hostel as a base while visiting Mongolia. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed and shown our room, got our tours booked and given an introduction to the city! Great service for just $6 US dollars in a dorm per night. The tour well very good value, tours throughout the entire country, unfortunately we did not... More

I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mongolia and I stay here every time I come to UB. The staff is great and the guesthouse is inexpensive and clean. I have not been on one of their tours but have heard great things from people who have just returned. Fast wifi, free breakfast (bread, jam, butter, nutella.) Great central location,... More

We did a tour with UB guesthouse last summer (juli 2011). We were just with the two of us and were looking for other people to share a Van with. UB guesthouse is one of the biggest hostels in town, so they were ideal for that. We spent a few days in UB for Naadam and then we left with... More

We stayed there in UB guesthouse in one of the double rooms early december 2011. The hostell is situated very central next to peace av (5 min. walk), government (10 min walk). They provide basic breakfast, WIFI, clean shared bathrooms and organise tours. The room was very basic but seemed o.k. for 20 bugs. We also joined one of their... More

I didn't stay in this guesthouse, but I join their tour. They claim they will pick me up at 11am, but I wait until 12:30pm and still didn't see their driver. My guest house help me to call them many times starting from 11:30am and they give us a very in-convincing excuse, traffic jam. It is very difficult to believe... More

The hostel is located close to the city centre (5-10 mins) and is a great place to arrange last minute tours. They have a very comprehensive list of various tours available to them, ranging from day tours to 3 week tours to the north and west. The staff are friendly and I would recommend this hostel to people travelling alone... More

UB Guesthouse Situated about 20 mins walk from the central square (go visit the Mongolian history museum - only a couple of pounds to get in and well worth it!) It consists of a number of flats in one or two blocks which open out onto a back yard/open space. The double rooms open out onto the dorms and each... More

I've stayed in a lot of hostels and know that you can't expect a lot. This hostel, however, was the worst place I've ever stayed in. It is reasonably clean, has decent internet and a decent location and most of the staff were quite nice. But, the window in our room wouldn't open, the common area is only about 5... More

Since I came doing projects in Ulaanbaatar I always felt very welcome at UB guesthouse. When it gets busy or the are fully booked, they make sure you get an other bed at an other youth hostel on time. Each morning there is fresh bread and tea or coffee, computer can be used freely. They clean the place each day.... More

We booked online from the UK 2 months before we arrived. We mentioned that we wanted to do some Horse Trekking and some tours and that was it. They confirmed a day later, and 2 months after, they were waiting for us at 0700 at the train station in UB. Unlike the hostels in Russia the staff were very keen... More
