Central Government Holiday Homes and Touring Officers’ Hostels – An Overview

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), a department of the government of India, has guesthouses across the country for govt employees and pensioners.

The primary objective of such central government employees’ holiday homes is to provide accommodation while they travel to outstation places on personal or official trips.

These guesthouses are of two types:

Holiday Homes (HH): These are guesthouses for employees and pensioners on vacation or personal trips. Both AC and Non-Ac rooms are available in such central government holiday homes.

Touring Officers Hostels (TOH): These are primarily for employees traveling on duty. However, employees/pensioners on personal trips can also book these hostels if rooms are available. Like central government holiday homes, TOHs also have AC and non-AC rooms.

These properties are under the maintenance of the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), so central govt holiday homes are also called CPWD holiday homes or CPWD guest houses.

The Directorate of Estates, a department under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, manages room booking and reservations through an online portal called e Sampada.
