This hostel is super central, took a little looking to find - I called when I was unsure of the correct door. The owner Denis is a brilliant character, laid back, smart, speaks fluent English, fixes onward bus tickets and takes every guest as an individual - you can hang out or jam with him or be left to your...

Stayed here for only 1 night in July 2011. I tagged along with a couple I had just met up with the day before in Irkustk. So pleased I did. Denis was great! He really made us feel comfortable and at home. At 'home' we sat around in the loungeroom, chatting to other guests, looking through photos, talking with Denis... More

I stayed in this hostel for one night with a fellow backpacking traveler in October 2012. The hostel is in a very central location, only few meters from the key tourist attractions and about a 10 minute walk from the train station (if you know the shortcut. Otherwise it is a 20 minutes walk). The hostel is clean and offers... More

The owners are lovely and there's usually a jam session going on at some point! Location is fantastic - easy for the train station, bus to Mongolia and the town. Nice atmosphere and large common room. Kitchen a bit on the small side and maybe not the best equipped I've seen, but it's fine. Breakfast was advertised but was not... More

This friendly hostel was our last stop in Russia before continuing the Trans Siberian route south to Mongolia. Two large dorm rooms and a big main lounge. Shared kitchen for the included simple breakfasts. Great photo gallery in the bathroom too!

Arrived at UU travelers house about 8pm after catching a bus from Ulan Batoor. I booked this hostel especially for the location - we didn't have that much time in Ulan Ude, so being central was a big factor. However despite having booked in advance, and having the booking confirmation on us, we were told that we would actually be... More

Absolutely amazing....... We traveled to UU with our two young children, Denis & Marina made our trip! We stayed at the UU Travelers house, and we also took a tour out to Lake Baikal and did a home stay with Denis and Marina as well. The guesthouse is in a great location, but it is by far the people who... More

The location is excellent, just a block away from the Lenin head. This is a small hostel with 2 rooms each with 8 beds. Owner Dennis and his wife also live there. We had 16 people and he arranged a 3D2N tour to Lake Baikal. His arrangement was so perfect and he was willing to share with us all the... More

I just loved this place as my first stop in Russia on the Trans Sib. Dennis and Marina are the nicest couple and you feel so at home staying with them. I met so many brilliant travellers from all walks of life here young and old including a couple who announced their engagement the first night of my stay. Dennis... More
