Top 10 Guest Houses in Dehradun: what to know

Dehradun spreads out along a few main roads. The Clock Tower and Paltan Bazaar are the busy old centre; the railway station and the ISBT bus terminal sit to the south-west; the Rajpur Road runs north-east towards Rajpur and the road up to Mussoorie, with many of the cafes, restaurants and boutique stays. Sahastradhara Road and the Mussoorie Road foothills are greener and quieter, with villas, resorts and homestays; the Chakrata Road and the Haridwar Road are practical bases for the highway, and Jolly Grant airport is on the Rishikesh side. For a short trip, stay near the Rajpur Road or the Clock Tower; for a quiet one, go towards Sahastradhara or Malsi.

How this top 10 works: every guest house is ranked by its guest score, then by how many reviews it has, and only top 10 guest houses with at least 5 guest reviews count, so one glowing review cannot top the list. Scores move as new reviews come in, so the order can change.

Prefer to book direct? Our own homestays by the Ganges in Rishikesh are pinned near the top of this page, about 45 km by road. Send us your dates and group size and we will help you choose, wherever you end up staying.

Where these are: Clock Tower & Paltan Bazaar is the old heart of Dehradun around the Clock Tower and Paltan Bazaar; busy, walkable and close to the shops. Sahastradhara Road is the road out towards the Sahastradhara sulphur-spring falls, greener and quieter, with resorts, villas and homestays; you will want a vehicle.
