The hostel itself is a model for cleanliness. Every unit is comfortable. The kitchen is superb, it's complete. The staff are so kind and assisting. I was able to do my semi-Gobi tour in DIY because the staff taught me everything, and even assisted me in booking the bus. to and fro. I saved a lot of money. I wrote on the wall! I will be back on winter and will stay again there. - Ron, Philippines 🇵🇭 / June 2024

- Amazingly clean - Spacious bedrooms with privacy curtains for each bed - Fluent English; easy to communicate - Free indoor slippers - Free locker with key; big enough for suitcases - Personal light, electrical outlets, and USB outlets for each bed - Delicious breakfast (either yummy sandwiches or eggs for more guests) - All doors close quietly, so you can leave for the airport without disturbing other guests - Drying rack in the center room for towels - Microwave, fridge, hot water kettle, coffee, and eating utensils in the kitchen - New, stylish, modern-looking facilities (this place opened September 2022) - Daily detailed cleaning (They actually mop the floors, and with bleach, so that bacteria gets killed) - Very affordable price. Great value. - Great location in the center of the city (many convenience stores and restaurants nearby) - Good free Wifi - Free and good-quality hairdryer with concentrator (located underneath the bathroom sink) - Wonderfully kind, personable staff who went above and beyond to help! (1. The hostel owner arranged for his brothers to drive me to and from the airport, even though my flights were always 3 AM in the morning. In Mongolia, the airport is located almost 2 hours away by car from the city center, with bad traffic and no public transportation connection. The hostel gave a great price, 80,000 tugriks each way ($23.19 for Americans, or 31,076 won for the many Koreans here), even though they had to travel 4-5 hours total in the middle of the night each time. Sorry and thank you so much. :( 2. They watched over my luggage whenever I left for multi-day tours/treks to the countryside 3. They came with me and helped me get my tourist SIM card (Unitel is a few minutes walk from the hostel, but they don't speak English) 4. They helped me personally call and talk to different tour operators so that I could find a tour on my first day 5. They guided me around downtown Ulaanbaatar - Great communicaton and responsiveness.

Wake up and enter the white grassland snow country. Ulaanbaatar is a vibrant young city, but it is also congested, and the streets are full of Toyotas honking their horns. The cantaloupe that I carried all the way from Chinese to Ulaanbaatar was ripe and shared with the landlord Bolod and his family, as well as the Russian brother. Feel a melon that makes sense. Bolod and his wife were very welcoming, friendly and kind. They all speak English, Russian and other languages. Bolod also had his son drive and took me to see the statue of Genghis Khan and visit the local herders. The steppe world is completely covered with heavy snow, and yurts can be inhabited. The newborn lamb is dressed up, the dog is more like a steppe mastiff with its long hair, the mare's milk wine is super strong, and I am wearing a cashmere Mongolian robe. It's so warm. I wanted to go to Mongolian dinner in the evening, but my Russian roommate treated me to frozen lard and potato offal, saying it was a traditional Russian delicacy. I had a very good memory here.

    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.
