    Great location, safe and clean, with a full kitchen at the guests' disposal. Hosts are very welcoming, intelligent, ready to answer all your questions, and have flawless English. They also provide reliable taxi service to and from the airport on request and organize tours. I will definitely stay there again when I return!

    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).

    Top Tour & Guesthouse was fabulous!! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was made for you in the morning and was delicious and they had a driving service to the airport (that was really cheap compared to cabs and other options). It was smaller than other hostels I’ve stayed at but that was part of the charm. It was walking distance to many of the coolest sites in UB. The facilities were really clean and comfortable and it was really cheap. I would highly recommend a stay with Top Tours and Guesthouse Mongolia.

    One of the best hostels I have ever visited. Comfortable wide beds separated with curtains, guest zone inside hostel and a summer terrace outdoors, location near the very centre but no noise around, good breakfasts. All is clean. Indeed the best suggestions for travellers who is interested in not only to have an accomodation but to communicate with interesting people all over the world/ This hostel has its own great vibe)
