Very friendly people and super clean place. Boby helped us to get to the airport on time (cheap and more expensive option). We really appreciated her help. The place is also in the heart of Ulaanbaatar - top!

Featuring a shared lounge and a terrace, Ulaanbaatar Hostel is well set in the centre of Ulaanbaatar, 700 metres from National Museum of Mongolian History. The property is located 4.4 km from Mongolia National Park, 700 metres from Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts and 600 metres from Government Palace Garden. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The host was super friendly and even helped me with the taxi two times (coming and leaving!). All messages were directly answered in a clear and helpful way. The hostel is in the middle of the town so you can walk easily everywhere and there is a supermarket right below and other stores around. Even being so close to the hot spots it is very quiet and it has a lovely rooftop- lounge! The hostel is very big and you can decide if you want to have a one-person- or a two-person-cabin. It is super clean and the breakfast is really more than enough (bread, eggs, fruits). I had a wonderful stay!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This is the best hostel. The owner goes above and beyond to make your time here amazing. Very understanding and knowledgeable. She helped me organise a trip to the North, helped with any questions and was very relaxed when we wanted to change rooms, store luggage and relax. It feels like a home, in a family setting. Her place is very cosy and warming, built for socialising and meeting people, next to the center of the city.

    Great location, right in the city center. Clean, and quite comfortable, especially for such a price. Very attentive, responsive staff, helped me more than once, including with purchasing tickets for local buses. Perhaps during the day it can be a little hectic due to the frequent change of residents, but this is not critical. I can recommend it as an excellent budget option.

    This might be the best hostel in the world. It's not a luxurious accommodation to lazy around Ulan Bator, but it is perfect to meet other travelers and organize spontaneous tours in Mongolia. If you want to avoid paying expensive pre arranged tours, UB Guesthouse is the place to be. They keep updates information of all available tour groups departing the next days, all for very good prices. Bobby is the most helpful person you will ever meet, and she will make sure that your Mongolia trip happens in the best way possible.

    Great staff, great location, interesting atmosphere, comfortable bed, , and in the heart of Ulaanbaatar. I rented a private room, which had a very comfortable bed. A simple breakfast is included. City Guesthouse is best suited for budget minded travellers who enjoy roughing it (somewhat) and enjoy meeting strangers from around the world. BONUS! No signs of bugs, spiders or mice, (I was there for six nights).
