Mongolian Steppe

Ulaanbaatar


English-speaking owner Eiggy has established two guesthouses in two separate locations, both equally difficult to find. One is within an unsigned apartment (you need to call) behind the State Department Store, the other (What3words: tasks.clipped.blocks) across the street from the central post office, accessed via the courtyard of the main building. Both have more of a homestay feel than a hostel, but gets a thumbs up from guests.
