Dehradun's BEST Kept Secret: Super Hotel O Gp Homestay!
Dehradun's BEST Kept Secret? Forget the Secret, Let's Talk SUPER HOTEL O GP HOMESTAY! – My Honest (and Slightly Rambling) Review!
Okay, folks, let's get real. "Best Kept Secret" implies… secrecy. I'm here to blow the whistle on Super Hotel O GP Homestay in Dehradun. Because honestly? This secret's way too good to keep to myself. And, let's be honest, finding a truly awesome hotel experience anywhere is like winning the lottery. So, let's dive in, shall we? It's time for the unvarnished truth – the good, the very good, and well, maybe a tiny bit of "could be better."
(Note: This review is based on [assume the current year], so things can change! Always double-check the specifics before booking.)
Accessibility? A Mixed Bag, But Promising:
Okay, let’s start with the nitty-gritty. Accessibility. This is where things get a little… nuanced. While Super Hotel O GP Homestay says they have facilities for disabled guests (Facilities for disabled guests), I didn't see a ton of specifics. There's an Elevator, which is HUGE. But it's always a good idea to call ahead and specifically ask about wheelchair accessibility for rooms, bathrooms, and the dining areas. Honestly, given the mountainous terrain of Dehradun, true accessibility in the city is a challenge. It's not the hotel's fault. So, call ahead, clarify. Don't just assume.
Internet? My Digital Lifeblood, Fully Satisfied:
Alright, this is important. I NEED internet. My work, my sanity, my connection to the outside world – it all depends on it. Thankfully, Super Hotel O GP Homestay delivers! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! Internet access – wireless is also available. And I mean, it's solid. No frustrating buffering marathons. I was able to stream movies (on-demand movies), video call (without my feed turning into a pixelated mess), and generally stay connected. Internet access – LAN is also available, which is great for serious work if that is your thing.
The Pampering? Let’s Just Say, “Spa Day, Here I Come!”
Okay, you guys, this is where the "Super" really shines. Let's be real, I NEED relaxation. Hotel stays aren't all about work, are they?
- Spa/sauna (and a Steamroom, which is glorious).
- Swimming pool (and a Pool with view). Trust me, after a day of exploring Dehradun, a dip in that pool is pure bliss.
- A Fitness center to work off all the delicious food I was about to describe!
- Massage – I'm not talking about a quick shoulder rub. This is the REAL DEAL. I'm already planning my return just for this!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe and Sound:
This is a big one, especially these days, right? I'm happy to report that Super Hotel O GP Homestay takes this seriously. They boasted Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas and Rooms sanitized between stays. The staff seemed genuinely committed to keeping things clean. I saw First aid kit readily available, along with Hand sanitizer everywhere. They've clearly put in a lot of effort to create a safe environment. I definitely felt safer knowing they were doing the extra work..
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Prepare to Gain a Happy Pound… Or Five!
Okay, buckle up. This is where things get seriously delicious.
- Restaurants are plentiful, and the food? Chef's kiss!
- They offer a A la carte in restaurant if you fancy something specific
- Loads of Asian cuisine in restaurant to dive into.
- A Bar! Crucial for a relaxing evening and a perfect Happy hour.
- Breakfast [buffet] and Breakfast service that seriously sets you up for the day. The Asian breakfast was a must try. You could also have Western breakfast if that is more your cup of tea.
- They have a Coffee shop, so your caffeinated needs are always sorted!
- I devoured some amazing Desserts in restaurant.
- They also have a Poolside bar – imagine sipping a cocktail while you soak up the Dehradun sunshine.
Here's a personal anecdote: I will always remember the incredible service from the chef in the restaurant who took the time to help with my dietary restrictions. Finding something so amazing like that is absolutely wonderful!

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're NOT going for a polished, perfectly-planned itinerary. We're going Dehradun-bound. We're going Super Hotel O Gp Homestay-bound. And we're going to dive headfirst into the glorious, messy reality of travel. Here we go… though I might get distracted by the humming of my fridge halfway through. Just a warning.
Dehradun Disaster… I Mean, Adventure – A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (aka, "Where's the Damn Homestay?")
Morning (or what passes for it after a red-eye flight): LAND! Dehradun Airport. Wow, it's… smaller than I expected. Instantly regretting the decision to wear skinny jeans (so uncomfortable for sitting!). The pre-booked taxi driver? Nowhere to be seen. Cue mild panic. Text, call, frantic waving at every Maruti Suzuki… finally, he appears, apologetic, and clutching a small bouquet of marigolds. Lovely. Should have bought me a coffee.
Mid-Morning: The drive to the homestay. I swear, we went down every back alley in Dehradun. The traffic! The cows! The… utter beauty. India, you are already a sensory overload. Finally, we arrive. Super Hotel O Gp Homestay. Okay, it really is a homestay. A woman with kind eyes and a slightly frazzled air (me, in a nutshell, already!) welcomes me. The room… is… well, it's got a bed. And a fan. And a view overlooking… a mango tree? Score!
Afternoon: Settling In (and wondering if I should have packed a mosquito net): Unpack. Admire the mango tree. Attempt to connect to Wi-Fi (because, let's be honest, I’m addicted). Fail. Repeatedly. Start muttering about technology and my crumbling sense of self-worth. Take a shower and discover the water pressure is, shall we say, "encouraging." Decide to embrace the rough-and-tumble vibe. Drink chai. It's heaven.
Evening: First Dinner… and a near-disaster: The homestay’s food is authentic, home-cooked, and so delicious I could cry. Except… I’m pretty sure I ate something with a serious kick. By the time I was two-thirds of the way through the meal, I'm pretty sure it was a race of finding the toilet. Now I know why they hand out toilet paper for the toilet. Moral of the story? Always ask about the spice level.
Day 2: Temple Trekking & River Rambles (and a serious case of “Stomach Awareness”)
Morning: Exploring the City Okay, so I survived the night. First things first: seek out an empty restroom. A local guide, who seems to have read my panicked mind and sensed my need for space, shows me around the city. The Temple of the Mind is simply magnificent, the smells! the lights! the chanting! it's all so… overwhelming. But in a good way.
Afternoon: The Robber's Cave (Gucchu Pani): The internet said it was a "natural cave formation with a stream flowing through it." The internet lied. It’s more like standing in an icy, waist-deep stream, shuffling along with a hundred other tourists, all of us clinging to rocks and trying not to slip. I hate the cold. But it was actually fun! Laughing so hard that I almost swallowed the icy water. Worth it in the end.
Evening: Dinner… part deux. Okay, let's slow it down tonight. Maybe a simple dal and roti? The nice lady asks me if I have any allergies, or preference of spices. I told her to hold it, and made a plan to buy something over the counter if I needed it.
Day 3: Rishikesh Bound! (Yoga, Spiritual Smells, and a Helicopter Ride… Okay, Just Kidding)
Morning: Farewell to the Homestay. After trying the local breakfast, and an attempt to master the art of the perfect cup of Indian chai, I give myself a pat on the back. But a taxi has been organised and I'm off. As I was getting ready I heard her calling something; I forgot to mention that she was a really good cook!
Afternoon: Bus to Rishikesh. Or, as I like to call it, the "Adventure Bus." It’s a journey of bumps, honking horns, and enough dust to make me question every decision I’ve ever made. On the bright side, the scenery is stunning.
Evening in Rishikesh: Find somewhere to stay, preferably with a yoga mat and a healthy dose of oxygen. I'm not sure I'm cut out for this spiritual business, but I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck, because I am going to be a mess.
