No 25 Hotel Songtan

I chose this place for the convenience and low price, especially since I was on foot and needed food nearby. It’s right off the SED, and my queen single room had a TV and refrigerator. The room was clean and tidy, with A/C, plus a washer and dryer up on the roof. The elevator is very small, though. The bed wasn’t comfortable, and the shower drained slowly.

The owners are really nice, and I’d still recommend staying here. It’s also close to some good restaurants. The Songtan strip, with its bars, shops, and restaurants, is easy to walk to, but far enough away that even on Friday and Saturday nights the club music didn’t carry into the hotel. It’s a decent option if you’re new to town or just visiting. A few things felt a bit neglected: one light fixture had come loose from the wall, and the shower took a very long time to drain. The laundry room on the top floor was messy, and its machine instructions weren’t aimed at English speakers. Google Lens helped with that.

The front desk was very helpful and shared plenty of information. They also had a 220 plug available for my iPhone or other 110v items when I didn’t have the right plug. The location is handy, about a 5-8 minute walk from Osan Airbase Main Gate, and close to the SED shops and restaurants. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, though there may be more soldiers staying at the hotel on weekends. My only suggestion is to improve the beds. They weren’t quite as soft and comfortable as beds in the US. Overall, a great stay. See my images attached.

Everyone at the hotel was so welcoming. They had water ready and receipts prepared before we even asked. We also had to leave two days early, and they arranged a full refund for the seven of us for the two nights we didn’t stay. The hotel itself was very nice and close to both Osan AB and the strip for dinner or a night out.
