We stayed at the Oasis last year, it always has travellers coming and going.
Only downside is that it's a bit out of town, on the outskirts to the east.
You have to get a taxi ride to get to the centre.

Buses are v cheap in UB and likely to be quicker since the introduction of bus lanes. Taxi from the airport to the Oasis is 20000 Tukrigs (1 usd =1500 MT).
The reason it's called Oasis is because UB is a toilet and you can hide there from this horrible town.
OASIS CAFE & GUESTHOUSE
Print the purple map before you go, so you can show the taxi driver.

+1 on the Oasis, a bit away from the airport, but there you go, and it is an oasis in a crap town
tell the taxi driver it is on the east side of the Black Market, he will know where that is

Indeed, Oasis is not cheap for what you get. But 99% of overland travellers stop off there.
Sybille and Rene have sold the business to a Swiss chap, I believe.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
