I stayed at the Golden Gobi in 2008. It felt a little cramped during late September not sure if it was the season or because of popularity.
I stayed at first in Idre’s Guesthouse. It was basic, reading some of the reviews has refreshed my memory – the kitchen and bathrooms were small, but there was free breakfast and working wifi. Indeed, the hostel did organise tours and immediately asked if I’d like to look at their options, but I couldn’t fit it into my schedule, and it wasn’t brought up again during my stay.
They were flexible, friendly, helped with directions.
The downside is that they’re a decent 20 min walk from the city center. The upside is that they offered free pick up from the train station 😀
I then moved to another one where my friend was staying in the city center. It was more convenient, but had no decent wifi, and had a curfew there as well which was frustrating. You had to whisper all the time, lots of restrictions, staff weren’t welcoming at all. Unfortunately searching our emails and online we can’t find the name of this hostel, sorry :/ If your Google Fu is better than mine, it was roughly here.
There was a tour company in the same building, so if you find them, you should find the hostel. The tour company’s address is Room 14, Building 69, Sukhbaatar District, and is down the alley opposite the Golomt bank.
