WELCOME TO 'UB GUESTHOUSE AND TOURS'

We have grown steadily since we established in 2000. We have become one of the best and most reliable team in Mongolia that arrange budget accommodations and tours. Perhaps, now we are Ulaan-Baatar's largest independent tour operator.

We operate tours to see the most spectacular natural wonders of Mongolia. You will get to see the unique culture of nomads while at the same time having a lot of fun.

Thousands of our clients, who had been served by us, left their positive impressions about us. We have had positive reviews from the National Geographic Adventure Magazine and the New York Times. This proves that we are your reliable partners.

Come and join us to experience Mongolia's vast country where half of the population maintains a nomadic lifestyle.

Most of the NGOs and Foreign volunteers who work in Mongolia opt to stay in the 'UB Guesthouse & Tours'. Why do they stay with us? There must be good reasons - they are neither travelers nor tourists. They are living here in Mongolia and are well aware of our hostel's fine reputation.

We offer FREE tea and coffee, super clean rooms, big size beds, arrange tours, FREE internet service, kitchen facilities, hot showers, laundry service, security lockers and luggage storage.

Come and stay with us and enjoy the best budget accommodation at exceptional prices.

Customer comments...

'UB Guesthouse & Hostel were a fantastic, friendly & well organized backpackers. They regularly ran day trips to the nearby Terelj National Park (popular for those on the infamous Trans-Siberian train who have only have a few days), and organized longer trips to the Gobi and Lakes in the 'midwest' of Mongolia. The trip to White Lake they organized for four of us was perfectly-timed, and the driver just brilliant! They also helped me get a ticket for the train back to Beijing (no mean feat I assure you). Services are simple, but more than adequate for backpackers.

The hosts Kim and Bobby are fantastic resources in a city where language barriers can sometimes make getting from A to B a bit tricky.

'UB' Guesthouse & Tours is a busy but clean place in the center of Ulaan Baatar. The cost is $10 per night (as for 2026) in a room with 6 dorm beds.
We are able to arrange an airport pick up service if you e-mail or call us.
The owner Bobby, helps a lot with various tour arrangements.
This is a non-smoking hostel.

Met two great backpacker groups here. For me UB was amazing for finding travel partners. Booked a 6-day trip through them. Loved that we did not stay on another hostel, but with real nomad families. Do yourself a favour and ask for the translator named NK. Trust me! 10/10. Would visit again.

Nice place. Top bunk beds are a bit squeaky getting up but the matresses were comfy. Good place to meet people and join tours as a solo traveller. The staff were lovely and could help with everything
