Unbelievable Osan Hotel Deals: Raum Osan-si Awaits!
Unbelievable Osan Hotel Deals: Raum Osan-si Awaits! - Honestly, is it that Unbelievable? (A Messy Review)
Okay, so here's the deal, folks. I just spent a few days at Raum Osan-si. Before you start judging, yes, I did choose it. I was chasing a "deal" – that elusive promise of a steal that's supposed to transform your life. And let me tell you, after poring over the hotel's exhaustive list of features (that I'm about to dissect), it's time to untangle the chaos and give you the real deal. Raum Osan-si? Unbelievable? Let's see…
Accessibility: (Because let's be real, it matters.)
Alright, good start. They’ve got the basics covered: Elevator, check. Facilities for disabled guests? Listed, though details are vague. The devil's in the details, people! Did I see ramps everywhere? Nah, but I wasn't actively looking, which, in my experience, means they're probably there, just… not overly advertised? I appreciate the effort. You know, gotta give credit where credit's due - no major complaints. Access is… present.
On-site Accessible Restaurants / Lounges:
This is where it starts to feel a little… theoretical. The website says they’ve got it covered, but I wasn't exactly running around with a measuring tape. The restaurant I ate at (more on that later) seemed okay, but I'm not an expert on accessibility. So, a tentatively optimistic thumbs up.
Wheelchair Accessible:
See above. Basically, they claim it. Take that for what you will.
Internet (Because we're all internet addicts, admit it!)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – HUGE! Okay, seriously, this is a must in 2024, and Raum Osan-si nails it. Fast and free? Bless.
Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas:
Yep, all the boxes are ticked. I spent way too much time streaming cat videos in the lobby, and the Wi-Fi held up beautifully. No complaints. Finally, a consistent internet!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Let's get indulgent!)
Okay, here's where things get interesting. Raum Osan-si isn't some bare-bones budget place. This is where it starts to try and wow you.
- Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Holy moly, that's a lot. Now, let's be realistic. Did I try everything? Absolutely not (I'm on holiday, not in a boot camp). But:
- The Gym: It existed. I peaked in. Looked clean. Maybe.
- The Pool: The outdoor pool was lovely. Especially after a long day of… well, whatever I was doing that day. Okay, I was mostly napping, sue me.
- The Sauna/Spa: Ah, the sauna. That was a highlight. I'm going to be honest, I had it basically to myself quite a lot of the time I was there. That's the best kind of spa day!
- Massage: Seriously, I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed.
- The Body Wrap: I didn't get around to it. I was too busy napping.
- The Foot Bath: I wasn't actively looking for a foot bath, but there was one I noticed, not far from the gym!

I saw the hand sanitizer everywhere. I didn't get sick. So, kudos.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Yes, they want to make sure everyone is happy, and that's great.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Fueling the adventure!)
This is where I, personally, had the most… mixed experiences.

Plenty of options!
- The Breakfast Buffet: It wasn't the best buffet I've ever had, but it was totally fine. A solid array of Western and Asian options. I'm not really there for innovation when it comes to breakfast, so, no real complaints.
- The Restaurants: I tried the main restaurant. The food was… okay. Nothing to write home about, nothing to stay home about. Perfectly edible though.
- The Bar: I had a drink at the bar, it was fine.
- Room service: I have forgotten the room service menu, I will not lie.

- **The
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly polished itinerary. This is a messy, glorious, and hopefully hilarious chronicle of my stay at the Osan Hotel Raum in Osan-si, South Korea. Consider this less a schedule, more a… well, a chaotic memory dump. Here we go:
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Kimchi Debacle
Morning (or what I think was morning, jet lag is a cruel mistress): Landed at Incheon, a whirlwind of customs, and that glorious, clean air. Found my supposed transfer to Osan (a small, sweaty bus, naturally), and immediately regretted my life choices. The driver kept blasting K-Pop, which I usually love, but at 6 AM after a 14-hour flight? Let's just say I developed a newfound appreciation for elevator music.
Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Arrived at the Osan Hotel Raum. It looked… okay. Not exactly the five-star experience my delusional brain had conjured, but clean enough. The room? Tiny. And I mean, tiny. Like, if I stretched out my arms, I could probably touch both walls. But the view! Overlooking… a parking lot. Sigh. Never mind, I wasn't here to stare at a parking lot, right?
Afternoon: The Kimchi Conundrum: Found myself ravenous (blame the turbulence-induced nausea on the flight). Decided to be adventurous and order room service. "Bibimbap!" I declared with confidence. "And…" I paused, scanning the menu, "Kimchi, please!"
Dear god. The kimchi. It arrived looking innocent enough, a vibrant red mound in a tiny ceramic dish. I took a bite. My face contorted. My eyes started watering. It was… fiery. Not the pleasant, tangy kind of spicy. This was a volcano of fermented rage erupting in my mouth. I choked, sputtered, and frantically searched for water. The hotel room water tasted like… well, hotel room water. I survived, but I’m pretty sure I aged a decade in that moment. This is a key moment for what makes a trip, right? We want the memories.
Evening: After recovering from the kimchi assault, I ventured out. Wandered the streets of Osan, mostly lost. The sheer volume of signs in Hangul was daunting, and I bumped into a street vendor. I felt awful! Luckily, an older woman, with so much kindness in her eyes, gave me some dumplings. A little piece of home. This is the good stuff!
Day 2: Karaoke Calamity and Temple Tranquility
Morning: Decided to brave the hotel breakfast. The selection was… interesting. Not bad, but interesting. I suspect there were things on the buffet I couldn't name (and honestly, didn't want to name). Opted for the safe choice: toast and questionable jam. Back to the room; time to strategize!
Late Morning/Afternoon: Karaoke Chaos: "Karaoke," I thought, "That'll be fun!" Famous last words, people. I stumbled upon a karaoke place near the hotel, and bravely entered. The room felt like a disco, with flashing lights and a microphone that made me feel like a pop star. I attempted to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody." It was a disaster. A screeching, off-key, soul-crushing disaster. The staff looked at me with a mix of pity and amusement. I retreated, tail firmly between my legs. Never sing Karaoke.
Afternoon: Temple Therapy: After my Karaoke humiliation, I needed a spiritual reset. Found a beautiful Buddhist temple nestled in the outskirts of the city. The quiet, the incense, the serene architecture… it was exactly what I needed. I sat for an hour, just breathing, feeling a sense of calm that I hadn’t felt since, well, before the kimchi. This place was great.
Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant. I ordered something I thought was noodles. Turned out to be a steaming bowl of… something with a suspicious amount of tentacles. Let's just say I ate around the tentacles. Lesson learned: learn how to read menus in Hangul. Or just stick to toast.
Day 3: The Battle of the Laundry, and My Quest for a Decent Coffee
Morning: Laundry day. Apparently, the hotel's laundry service was "closed". So in the meantime, I had to do laundry in the sink.
Mid-Morning/Afternoon: Coffee Crusade: The hotel coffee was undrinkable. I went on a quest for a decent cup. And this was a true quest. I walked for what felt like miles, searching every street, asking every local. It was then I found a small place that looked inviting, but a little expensive for what I could afford. The barista was charming, and made me a perfect latte. I felt like I won the lottery!
Afternoon/Evening: I spent the evening, simply walking around, I managed to find a great little bar.
Day 4: Departure (Thank God!)
Morning: Woke up surprisingly refreshed. Possibly because I knew it was departure day. Ate the breakfast I had been avoiding.
Late Morning: Packed. Checked out. Said goodbye to the parking lot view. Hoped to never see the kimchi again.
Afternoon: That bus to Incheon again, this time with less K-Pop and more quiet desperation.
Final Thoughts:
The Osan Hotel Raum? Fine. It wasn’t perfect. It was filled with a lot of imperfections and awkward moments. But, that’s what makes a travel story, right? This trip was probably not going to the best trip of my life but it was a solid one. I learned the hard way about kimchi, karaoke, and the importance of good coffee. And even with the chaos, the jet lag, and the questionable culinary choices, I wouldn't trade it for anything. It was an adventure. And that, my friends, is what life is all about.
