The double room my fiancee and I stayed in for a few days is excellent. The entire hostel is very nice. Very comfortable living room, fully equipped kitchen for guests to use, every day a different and very tasty breakfast. Monkhtuya, the owner of the hostel, is very friendly and attentive, always willing to help with whatever was needed. My fiancee and I participated in the 8-day Central Mongolia and Gobi Desert Tour. It was amazing. Everything, absolutely everything was perfect, exceeding our expectations. Our guide Oggi, along with the driver named Tukson, made our journey a true cultural immersion, always willing to teach and very proud to introduce us to their country. We experience intensely what the nomadic life is like, interacting with several locals along the way, visiting beautiful places, mountains, valleys, sand dunes, national parks, monasteries, temples, several villages and small towns, as well as many campsites. We stayed for several moments face to face with the wildlife and saw the most beautiful sky of our lives. My fiancee and I have been to 78 countries, working as digital nomads, writing about destinations and recording a lot of content for social media and I can assure you that the tour we did with Top Tours Mongolia was by far the most memorable and incredible experience that we've had on our travels. If you really want to experience Mongolia, they are the best.

My friend and I stayed in this hostel for 2 nights in Ulanbaataar with no plan on how to spend our following 12 days. We spoke to the hostel who planned us out a fantastic 10 day trip around central Mongolia and the Gobi area. Our driver got us to all our destinations without incident and our guide, Gunj was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our tour, making food for us each day and even inviting us to stay with her family in their province on the first night. Gunj absolutely made out trip and we can't thank her and Top Tours enough.
Strongly recommend.

What an amazing company! If you are looking to tour Mongolia you should definitely go with Top Tours. Mogi was so nice & hospitable during my stay, and did everything to try and accommodate everybody's wishes for the best tour ever. The drivers were incredible - I felt safe and confident they could get us through anything. Ogi was the most amazing guide. He brought everyone together and always kept everybody happy. He is very funny and is passionate about what he does. I think he knows every single thing there is to know about Mongolia!! The Russian vans you take across the country are so cool. I had the pleasure of exploring the central, west, and north of Mongolia. If you have a chance, check out the Altai moutnains, stay with the Kazakh family and horseback riding up to meet the reindeer people. Those were some of my favourite parts of the trip. I seriously cannot recommend Top Tours enough, it was worth every penny and made for one of the best travel experiences of my life. Thank you so much!!

The hostel is located in a quiet street in the center of Ulaanbaatar. The living room is welcoming with a nice sitting and cooking area! The host is really helpful, speaks English very well and makes sure your stay i as you want. I booked the private bedroom and it was spacious with a big bed! The toilet and shower are separated over two different rooms and very clean. Be a bit patient for the warm water, it will come after a short while :-)!
But the best of my experience with Top was the tour! The host arranged a last minute tour through central Mongolia. Besides the beauty of that area everything was perfect during the trip. The driver was professional in his Russian van and a really nice company. The guide spoke very well English and was the kindest person I could have wished for. She gave my trip an extra dimension with her personality, humor, cooking skills and knowledge of the area/culture/country. If you want to arrange a tour I really recommend sleeping at Top and discuss your tour/needs with the host, you won’t be disappointed!

This is a hostel in a central location in Ulaanbaatar. Most of the accommodation is in shared dormitories but they do have single rooms, one of which I had. It was small and with no en-suite. What I particularly liked about the place was the communal dining area/sitting room where there were usually fellow tourists to chat to. A basic breakfast is provided. There is good wi-fi and a fair selection of restaurants nearby. Good value for money.

The living room is spacious, the breakfast is delicious, and the bedrooms are clean. All travelers tend to be disciplined and peaceful. Best of all, the owner's mother is always there and is kind and helpful. Accommodation fees, tour fees, and taxi fees are cheap.
Please consider planning your travel itinerary here where many travelers from various places come and make friends. It will definitely be a fun trip at Mongolia.

It all started out very well at Top Tours Guesthouse, with a free pick up from the train station and a warm welcome by Mogi, the english speaking owner, who gave us a lot of information about Mongolia and the different options for booking tours with them. Unfortunately it didn't end as well.. After we received the information about Top Tours from Mogi, we decided to look around a bit more to see where we could book the cheapest tour, as you do when you are a budget traveler. We found out that we could do the tour we wanted much cheaper if whe would hire a driver independently, instead of booking an all inclusive tour through the hostal. We also expressed this preference to Mogi, but she did not really respond to our request for a cheaper, less organised tour. So we hooked up with a group of four other travelers to arrange our own tour to the north of Mongolia. That was where the trouble started. As soon as it became clear that we were not going to book a tour though the hostal, the atmosphere changed. Mogi's sister, who could not speak any English and would stay at the hostal during the day, when Mogi was not around, became very hostile. Whenever we would discuss our trip with our group, she would turn op the volume of the TV so loud we could not hear each other anymore. When we would ask here if she could turn it down a little she would shout at us in Mongolian. The day we would leave we had already checked out, but we were only making a few sandwiches in the kitchen before we would be on our way, and the sister started shouting at us and pulling the plug from the electrical cooking device, so we could not finish our cooking. At this point we were more than glad to leave, because it was a very, very unpleasant experience. We can understand that this hostal also arranges tours, but it should be your right as a guest to only pay for your stay and not book a tour with them. After this we always prefer to stay at a hostal that is just a hostal and not also a tour agency (like the excellent Reindeer Guesthouse in Ulaanbaatar). We really hope Top Tours will take this feedback to heart, because it has the potential to be a very nice place to stay.

An amazing hostel right by the main stores, the beds are comfy, facilities are good, the staff is super nice. The only downside is that the manager is the only one that really speaks English and she is always busy planning tours with tourists.

We used top tours guesthouse as our base for a month in Mongolia. The guesthouse is lovely and comfortable. But the best thing is how well we were taken care of! Mogi (the guesthouse owner) could help us with everything, from buses to hiring motorbikes to telling us where to go listen to live music! We organised a 12 day tour to the Gobi desert and it was absolutely superb. There were four of us in a comfortable, large van with a wonderful driver and guide. We stayed with local families, saw amazing sites. The tour had a perfect balance of being very well organised and intrepid. Also the trip could cater to vegetarians! Have already recommended top tours to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you!
