She arranged the taxi service to the airport, which is very convenient and compensate the missing of transportation.

Fantastic hotel in a perfect location, there are heaps of eating choices within minutes, my favorite was directly opposite the road that the hotel is on, delicious local food (added a photo of the restaurant) Not too far to walk to the center and the GANDANTEGCHENLING temple. A lot of small supermarkets close as well. The staff are excellent, 5-star service.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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).
