Common questions

Is it better to stay in Mussoorie or Dehradun?+

For most trips, Dehradun's Mussoorie Road side gives you the best of both: under an hour from Mussoorie's Mall Road without peak-season hotel prices, parking trouble or traffic. You also get Dehradun's cafés and restaurants in the evening.

How far are Starfish stays from Mussoorie?+

Mountain View Studio and Doon Valley 1BHK sit at Malsi, where the Mussoorie climb begins, about 35 minutes from Mall Road in light traffic. Our Canal Road homes are 45 to 60 minutes from Mussoorie. Weekend and holiday traffic up the hill can add more.

Which Airbnb is best for a Mussoorie trip?+

Mountain View Studio (4.65★) at Malsi is closest to the hills, right where the Mussoorie climb begins. For couples, Mandala 1BHK on Canal Rd is the luxe base; for families, the 3BHK for 8 works best.
