Unbelievable Green View Stays in Dehradun: SPOT ON Hotel Review!
Unbelievable Green View Stays in Dehradun: SPOT ON Hotel Review! (Holy Moly, It's Actually Pretty Awesome)
Okay, so I just got back from a stay at Unbelievable Green View Stays in Dehradun, and listen, "unbelievable" is not a lie. I'm talking genuine, jaw-dropping, "did I accidentally teleport to a spa retreat in Switzerland?" kind of unbelievable. This review? Buckle up, buttercups, because it's gonna be a wild ride. We're diving deep, folks, no fluffy PR platitudes here. This is the real deal, unfiltered and unapologetically… me.
First Impressions & That Damn Accessibility Question
Right off the bat, let's tackle the elephant in the room: Accessibility. Look, I don't need a wheelchair, but I'm always hyper-aware of it. The hotel does list "Facilities for disabled guests," and there is an elevator, which is huge. I did spot some ramps here and there, BUT I don't have the info to verify the extent to which the rooms and facilities are wheelchair accessible. Honestly, I need more info on that front, and I'll be checking with the hotel directly to update this review.
Internet Shenanigans & The Wi-Fi Whisperer
Let's get to the tech. Internet access is, thankfully, available in a bunch of forms. You’ve got Internet [LAN] (for you old-schoolers) and of course, glorious Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms!, plus Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! AND Wi-fi in public areas. Which, believe me, is a godsend when you absolutely NEED to post that Instagram story of you lounging by the pool. The Internet services themselves were… well, it was good. I mean, it worked. Not blazing fast for streaming a 4K movie, but more than adequate for social media, checking emails, and maybe sneaking in a quick game of whatever-is-popular-right-now. (Don't judge.) I'd give the Wi-Fi a solid 8/10.
Cleanliness & Safety: Did I Catch a Virus? Spoiler: NOPE!
Okay, MAJOR points here. In the age of… well, gestures vaguely at everything, cleanliness and safety are paramount. I'm practically a germaphobe now, so I was paying ATTENTION. The hotel seems to have really taken things seriously.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check, check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Double-check. I peeked in a couple of rooms whilst housekeeping was working and saw that extra effort.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: They were actually wearing their masks, so, YES!
- Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Seriously, I think I'm now more sanitized than a surgeon.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: That's a nice touch.
- Safe dining setup: More on this later, but the protocols were on point. And, thank goodness.
I felt genuinely safe. I wasn’t constantly twitching (a win!).
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: My Stomach's Still Thanking Me
Alright, food, glorious food! This is where things get REALLY good.
- Restaurants: plural!
- Breakfast [buffet]: OMG, the buffet! It was a glorious spread of Asian breakfast and Western breakfast, with a bunch of unexpected goodies. Think freshly baked pastries, local fruits, all the usual contenders like bacon, eggs, and so much more.
- A la carte in restaurant: Had a fantastic dinner one night. I was craving something rich. The meal arrived with perfect timing and I was absolutely in heaven.
- Coffee shop: perfect spot for a quick caffeine kick.
- Poolside bar: This, my friends, is where I spent a significant portion of my time. Relaxing with cocktails by the swimming pool [outdoor], which, incidentally, has a Pool with view. Spectacular views! And the drinks? Chef's kiss.
- Happy hour: Because, well, happy hour.
- Room service [24-hour]: I was in pajamas and just hungry, and it arrived quickly with a smile.
- Snack bar: A must-have feature for the peckish.
- Vegetarian restaurant: Yep.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: Yes!
- Desserts in restaurant: Oh yes, with a capital YES.
- Soup in restaurant: Cozy and warm, after a dip in the outdoor pool in the evening.
My favorite thing about the eating experience?
The alternative meal arrangement, they were so accommodating. They also take cashless payment service, which helped me spend less time thinking about money.
Things to do. Relaxing? Yes!
This place is built for chilling. And that brings me to the Spa. I spent hours there.
- Spa, Spa/sauna, and Sauna galore (I’m not complaining).
- Steamroom: Melt away your worries, trust me.
- Massage: The best massage I’ve had in ages. I opted for a deep tissue, and it was pure bliss.
- Body scrub and Body wrap? I didn't try these but they are available. I may well have been too busy just existing.
- Pool with view: Seriously, this place deserves a medal for the pool.
- Gym/fitness: I'm not a gym-goer, but the Fitness center looked well-equipped.
The Room: My Personal Little Paradise

The Quirky Observations
- The staff are genuinely nice people. Not just the forced polite kind, but genuinely friendly and helpful.
- The towels are fluffy. This is important.
- The views really are unbelievably green. I spent a lot of time just staring out the window, completely zen.
The Hiccups
- Honestly, there weren't many. Maybe the Wi-Fi could be a smidge faster, but it's hardly a dealbreaker.
Final Verdict: Book it. Seriously, Just Book It.
Unbelievable Green View Stays is a winner. It's clean, comfortable, offers fantastic food & relaxation opportunities. If you're looking for a relaxing escape in Dehradun, this is the place. I give it a solid 9/10. (And I’m a harsh critic!)

Escape to Paradise: HOTEL SUNRISE Mahabaleshwar Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This isn't your sanitized, Instagram-filtered itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL – my survival guide slash love letter to and from the SPOT ON Hotel Green View Stays in Dehradun. Prepare for some rambling, some joy, some utter bewilderment, and a whole lotta caffeine. Here we go…
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Room-Key Quest (Dehradun Debut!)
8:00 AM (ish) - The Longest Flight Ever (and the Pre-Hotel Panic)
Okay, let's be honest. This trip started with a nightmare. My connecting flight? Delayed. By, like, a gazillion hours. I swear, I aged a decade in the Delhi airport. And the sheer, unadulterated stress of wondering if my Dehradun hotel would even still be open when I finally landed? Ugh. Let's just say, I contemplated selling all my worldly possessions for a direct flight straight to the Himalayas. (And maybe a stiff drink.)
2:00 PM - (Finally!) Arrival at Green View Stays. or, How I Lost My Room Key to a Wall
Ah, Dehradun! The air finally smelled of something other than jet fuel and existential dread. Reached the hotel, and frankly, it was a pleasant scene with a lot of trees around. Checking in was a breeze. Then came the room. Not bad. It was a little… small. Okay, very small. And the TV looked like it was from the Stone Age. But hey, it had a bed, and I was exhausted.
- The Room-Key Incident: The real fun began. One minute, I was admiring the view. The next… poof. Key vanished. After twenty minutes of full-blown panic searching every. single. pocket, I realized I'd left it in the key-slot of my door. The door was open. My room was now a public space. Thank god, nothing was missing… This has happened to me so many times in life, it's a miracle I always have my passport!
3:00 PM - Local Exploration & Chai Bliss
I absolutely needed to get out, clear my head. First impressions: the hotel is near everything. I decided to stroll around the neighborhood. The air was surprisingly cool, cleaner than I expected. I stumbled upon a tiny tea stall, bought a chai. The best chai. Seriously. So good, I almost cried. This, my friends, is why I travel. The little moments. I think I went back for a second cup. Or maybe a third. Don't judge me.
6:00 PM - Dinner Debacle (and a Lesson in Communication)
Found a restaurant about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The menu was in Hindi - I was expecting the food to be delicious. But the waiter? Barely spoke English. I pointed, gesticulated, and somehow managed to order something. What exactly I ordered, I'll never know. It arrived. Looked…interesting. I ate it. It tasted… well, it was food. Let's just say, I learned a valuable lesson: Google Translate is my new best friend, and maybe I should've just stuck with the chai.
Day 2: Temples, Troubles & the Art of Relaxing (Sort Of)
9:00 AM - Morning Mayhem
Woke up. Still small room. Stiff neck. Should've stretched more. Coffee, though, in the hotel lobby. Okay-ish. Nothing to write home about.
10:00 AM - Tapkeshwar Temple: Cave Exploration & Spiritual Overload
This temple is awesome. It's dedicated to Lord Shiva. You gotta squeeze through a cave… and BAM! A waterfall. Spiritual atmosphere. I even saw a monkey. A cheeky monkey, trying to steal someone's snacks. Just remember to bring an umbrella and some good shoes, the water is wet.
1:00 PM - Luncheon Labyrinth & Street Food Frenzy
Back to the city. Hunger pangs. Found a small restaurant. Ordered a plate of momos. Delicious as hell. I swear I spent hours walking around looking at all the colorful shops.
3:00 PM - Back to the Hotel – Time to Unwind (HA!)
Back to the Green View Stays. Now, the whole reason I was planning to come to Dehradun was for an amazing spa experience. I did enjoy my time. No regrets.
6:00 PM - Dinner and a Quiet Evening
Decided to order room service (because the previous day's restaurant escapade was a little too much). The food arrived within an hour. The view from the room was okay, nothing special. I ordered some random dish, and I swear, the cook had a sense of humor.
Day 3: Departure (and a Promise to Return)
9:00 AM - Last-Minute Breakfast & Packing Panic
One last breakfast. This time, the coffee was… slightly better. Packing. I hate packing. Always overpack. Always.
10:00 AM - Saying Goodbye
Packed my bags. Said goodbye to the staff. Checked out. Said goodbye to Dehradun.
Final Thoughts:
The SPOT ON Hotel Green View Stays Dehradun? Not the most luxurious place I've ever stayed. But it was clean (mostly), the staff was friendly, and the location was great. More importantly, it was a base for adventure. A place to crash after exploring temples. A place to drink mediocre coffee. A place to stumble in after terrible restaurant experiences.
Would I go back? Absolutely. Dehradun has a hold on me. The food, the people, the chaos, and the incredible chai. This trip wasn't perfect. Far from it. But it was REAL. And that's exactly what I needed.
P.S. Maybe next time, I'll learn to speak a little Hindi. And invest in a better suitcase. And for the love of all things holy… keep track of my room key!
Mumbai's Most Secret Hideaway: The Perfect Couples Getaway (Unbeatable Privacy!)
Unbelievable Green View Stays in Dehradun: The TRUTH (and then some!)
Okay, before we get started: Is this place *really* as green as the pictures suggest? Because let's be honest, Instagram lies.
Alright, alright, let's rip that band-aid off. The photos? Mostly accurate. But the *feeling*? That's where Unbelievable Green View Stays gets you. Picture this: me, utterly frazzled from a Delhi traffic escapade (I swear, the auto-rickshaw drivers in Delhi have a death wish). I pull up, and BAM! Lushness. Actual, honest-to-goodness *greenery*. Trees everywhere, whispering breezes, and a distinct lack of honking horns. It's like the air itself is cleaner. I felt my shoulders drop about five inches in that instant. So, yes, it's green. Really green. But more importantly… it’s a green that soothes your soul. Consider that the Instagram filter is actually a real-life, tangible experience. No filter needed here, folks!
The rooms: are they actually clean? (Because I've seen some *things* in budget hotels...)
Clean? Yes. And a bit of a sigh of relief after a few dodgy hotel experiences, I'll tell you. The rooms were spotless, the sheets were fresh, and the bathroom… well, the bathroom was a pleasant surprise! (Believe me, I *always* judge a place by its bathroom. I’m a germaphobe with expensive shampoo, its a problem). It wasn’t sterile, hospital-like clean (which, let's be real, feels a little unsettling anyway). It was clean in a "lived-in-but-well-cared-for" kind of way. Look, I’m not saying I'd eat off the floor (although, maybe…), but I felt comfortable and that's a win in my book. The basic amenities are there: hot water, decent towels, and not a single lurking creepy-crawly. So, panic over on that front.
What's the deal with the food? Is it any good, or just another oily Indian breakfast?
Okay, look, as a self-professed foodie, the food is a *serious* test. The breakfast was generally good. The usual array of options. You get the parathas, the upma, some fruit (thank god for that!), and coffee that's decent. But let's be honest, I went there hoping for some local, regional specialty I couldn’t find anywhere in Delhi. Honestly? The breakfast wasn't *mind-blowing*. But it was better than your average hotel breakfast. They tried. And that counts for something. The dinner at the restaurant was better. They made me a chicken curry that made me forget all my worries, as I like to say.
Location, location, location: Is it actually convenient, or are you stranded in the middle of nowhere?
The location is mostly convenient. It's outside the heart of Dehradun, away from the noise and chaos, which is a HUGE plus. You get the fresh air, the peace… But you're also still a manageable distance from the main attractions. Getting a cab or auto-rickshaw is easy enough. However, I'll be honest, I did get slightly lost trying to find it the first time. (My sense of direction is, shall we say, *challenged*.) Make sure you have detailed directions beforehand. But once you're there, you're golden. It’s the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility.
The Staff: Helpful or hovering?
The staff? Generally lovely. Not overly intrusive, but always around if you need something. I remember one evening, I was feeling a bit under the weather (Delhi belly, probably). I couldn't find my medication. The staff, especially one guy named... I think it was Raj? Anyway, he went above and beyond to help me find a pharmacy and even offered to get the medicine. Now *that* is good service. They appear eager to help and are good at it, too.
WiFi: Reliable or a complete nightmare? I have work to do!
Okay, this is where things get a *little* dicey. The WiFi is… okay-ish. It's usable, but not blazing fast. There were times when it was perfectly fine for checking emails, and other times when I wanted to throw my laptop out the window. (Dramatic, I know.) It definitely wasn't strong enough for streaming movies or doing any super-intensive work. So, if you're relying on high-speed internet, be warned. Maybe download your Netflix beforehand, like I wish I had. Alternatively, embrace the digital detox, and just enjoy the view!
Anything *bad* about the place? (Don't hold back!)
Alright, alright, time for a little honesty. No place is perfect, right? The biggest down side? The occasional mosquito. Dehradun isn't exactly known for its air conditioning. So, crack a window at night, you're probably going to meet some insect friends. Bring repellent. I wish I had. Like, seriously wish I had. Then there's the whole "luxury" aspect. Its not super luxurious. If you expect marble floors and gold-plated taps, you'll be disappointed. It's comfortable, clean, and charming, but it's not opulent. And maybe, just maybe, they could improve the coffee. But honestly? These are minor niggles. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
Would you go back? (And, more importantly, *should* I go?)
Absolutely. I would. I'd pack the bug spray (lesson learned!) and book again in a heartbeat. Should *you* go? If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, then YES, absolutely! If you crave luxury, fast internet, and the hustle and bustle of a big city, maybe not. But if you're looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and connect with nature… Unbelievable Green View Stays is pretty darn close to perfect. Go. Just go. And tell them I sent you (just kidding… unless?).
Let's talk about the *view*... really, truly, the view. Is it as spectacular as the name suggests?
Okay, brace yourselves. I’m about to gush. The view. THE VIEW. The name isn't a lie. It's not just green, it’s *unbelievably* green. It's a breathtaking panorama of rolling hillsExplore Hotels
