Oxygen Escape: Ranchi's Super Collection O Oasis!
Oxygen Escape: Ranchi's Super Collection O Oasis! - My Honest (and Slightly Chaotic) Review
Okay, so, Oxygen Escape: Ranchi's Super Collection O Oasis! – the name alone is a mouthful, right? But hey, a mouthful is sometimes a good thing, especially when it comes to… well, let's find out! I'm here, post-stay, to give you the REAL dirt, not some sanitized, corporate line. Buckle up, buttercups, because this is gonna be a ride.
First Impressions & Accessibility (The Nitty Gritty)
Finding the place was… an adventure. GPS threw a tantrum and sent me circling for a good fifteen minutes. But once I finally clapped eyes on the place, it was… okay. Clean lines, kinda modern, definitely trying for that "oasis" vibe. Important note: accessibility is listed as a feature. I didn't need it personally, but the elevator was a HUGE plus (especially because I'm a sucker for a high floor - more on that later!). They also have facilities for disabled guests. Always a good sign.
Getting Online & Staying Sane (Internet & More!)
Now, this is crucial, people. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Praise the tech gods. And it actually worked. I hate nothing more than a hotel that promises Wi-Fi and delivers… dial-up in the 21st century. Internet access [LAN] - also offered. Good for the serious business people. And for the lazy souls like me, Wi-Fi in public areas was handy for a quick Instagram scroll by the… (wait for it…) pool! More on that later too.
Things to Do (Or, How I Spent My Downtime… And My Money)
Okay, let's be real. This is where a hotel either shines or… well, doesn't. This place? Shone. Pool with a view - breathtaking. Seriously. The pool view was good. I could see the sky. They also offered a Swimming pool [outdoor]. But did I use it? Hell yes.
The Spa Life - My Near-Death Experience (Kidding, Mostly)
They had a spa/sauna, steamroom, massage, body scrub, body wrap which I was itching to experience. So, I booked a massage. Okay, I booked two massages, because, you know, self-care. I'm not going to lie: it was pure bliss. Then, the sauna. My first time ever. I spent a good hour in there! It was so hot, I thought I was going to melt into a puddle. Did I mention the Fitness center? Yeah, I saw it. Maybe I'll use it next time.
Cleanliness & Safety (The "Don't Get Sick" Checklist)
This is non-negotiable in the current climate. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere, staff trained in safety protocol, rooms sanitized between stays – check, check, check. Made me feel surprisingly safe, which is saying a LOT. They were also taking precautions with Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and had individually-wrapped food options.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking (My Stomach's Report Card)
Okay, this is where things got… varied. They have quite the spread! Restaurants, a la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, coffee/tea in restaurant, and even a salad in restaurant. I went for the buffet Breakfast [buffet] - Asian breakfast, Western Breakfast - and it was HUGE. Like, seriously, I ate enough to feed a small army. The coffee/tea was fine. And I may have snuck a few extra pastries to take back to my room… whoops. They also had a Poolside bar for a quick drink.
Services & Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter)
Air conditioning? Absolutely. Daily housekeeping? Yep, and they were lovely. Doorman, elevator, Concierge - all the usual suspects. I also appreciated the Luggage storage because, let's face it, I'm a chronic over-packer. I even requested the Ironing service that one time.
For the Kids (Because, Well, People Have Them)
They have Kids facilities, babysitting service, which is great if you need it. My kid is my dog.
My Room: The Suite Life (Almost)
I booked a non-smoking room, naturally. Air conditioning, blackout curtains, coffee/tea maker, a view, a mirror, a refrigerator, a sofa, a telephone, and – get this – free Wi-Fi!!! And, and, and, the slippers were the best hotel slippers I've ever laid my chubby feet in! The bed was extra-long. The shower was separate from the bathtub and came with toiletries. A lot of the rooms come with a safe and extra long beds.
Getting Around (Or, How I Didn't Get Lost)
They organize Car park [free of charge], car park [on-site], taxi service. They have Airport transfer!
The Quirks & The Chaos - What REALLY Made it Memorable
Okay, here's the real tea. The front desk staff was AMAZING - so friendly and helpful. And the view from my room? Absolutely stunning. That high floor I wanted? Worth it. And, I’m not sure if they still offer this but the rooms were themed!!
My Verdict & The Super Awesome Offer (The Hook!)

Hanoi's VIP Secret: Uncover Vinhomes D'Capital's Luxury!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your beige, laminated itinerary. This is my trip to Super Collection O Oxygen Ranchi, India. And let's just say, it’s gonna be less “perfectly curated Instagram grid” and more “giddy, slightly panic-stricken diary entry.”
The Ranchi Ramble: Super Collection O Oxygen Edition
Day 1: Arrival & Altitude Adjustment (aka, The Dust, the Delirium, and the Divine Chai)
Morning (or, when the sun finally deigns to show its face): Arrive at Birsa Munda Airport (RNC). Pray to the travel gods that my luggage follows, because let's be honest, I packed like I was fleeing the apocalypse. The air hits you like a warm, humid hug… followed by a gritty, dusty slap to the face. Seriously, the air quality… well, let's just say I'm glad I've got a strong immune system.
Slightly-Afternoon (or, the Hour of the Hangry): Taxi to Super Collection O Oxygen. The drive… oh, the drive! It’s a vibrant, chaotic ballet of bicycles, rickshaws, cows seemingly auditioning for Animal Planet, and the perpetual honking symphony of India. My first thought? "How do they not crash constantly?!" Second thought? "Find chai. Immediately."
Check In & First Impressions: The hotel itself is… decent. Clean-ish. The lobby smells faintly of incense and something vaguely floral. I'm already sweating, despite the AC blasting. The staff are SUPER friendly – a little too friendly, if I'm being honest. I'm pretty sure the guy at reception thought I was hilarious when I fumbled with my phone to take a selfie. My room? Pretty standard. The bed looks comfy, though. Priorities, people.
The Chai Chronicles Begin: Found it! The hotel's little cafe. Ordered chai. The first sip? Bliss. Pure, unadulterated, spicy, sweet, milky bliss. I sat there, staring out the window, watching the world go by, and suddenly, the dust, the chaos, the slightly-too-friendly receptionist… it all felt… manageable.
- Anecdote: Picture this: Me, desperately trying to pay the chai wallah. I handed him a crumpled INR 500 note. He looked at it, then looked at me, then gave a knowing smile. Turns out, it was a bit too crumpled. He politely pointed out my mistake. I felt like a complete idiot. Lesson learned: Iron your money, people. (Or, you know, just be less clumsy.)
Evening (or, the Quest for Food): Decided to be brave and venture out for something other than chai. Found a little street food stall. Tried some sort of samosa thingy. It was… an experience. Spicy. Delicious. Gave my stomach a workout it wasn’t expecting. Pretty sure I’m going to pay for it later, but YOLO, right?
Day 2: The Ranchi Rundown (aka, Waterfalls, Worries, and a Whole Lot of Walking)
Morning (or, the after-samosa reckoning): Okay, so maybe I did overdo it with the street food. My stomach and I are not exactly on speaking terms right now. But gotta push through. Today's the day for exploring!
Hundru Falls! Oh, the Hundru Falls! Booked a car to Hundru Falls, a local attraction. The drive was beautiful, winding through lush green hills (which I may or may not have slept through briefly). The falls themselves were awe-inspiring. Powerful. Majestic. Wet. Seriously, you get soaked if you get too close. Loved it. Hated the crowds.
- Quirky Observation: The sheer amount of selfie sticks in use at Hundru Falls… it was like a weaponized forest of plastic. Seriously, at one point, a selfie stick nearly took out my eye. (Just kidding… mostly).
More Wandering, More Walking: After the falls, we tried to go to Jagannath Temple. The drive was rough, narrow, and traffic was, to put it mildly, a mess. We got lost. Then, just when I was beginning to feel defeated, we found a small, local market. I was in heaven! I bought some bangles, tried some strange-but-delicious local snacks, and spent way too long haggling (badly) over a scarf. I won't say how much I payed, but I did.
Lunch (after a very long and tiring journey) and a Desperate Plea for Rest: Found a decent restaurant near the market. The food was good, but the sheer fact that I've been running around all over the place made me wish I had more time to recharge. The chaos of market, the traffic, and the people… I loved it all, but I was exhausted.
Evening: The "Quiet" of the Hotel & Unexpected Adventures: Back at the hotel, finally. I was exhausted. Wanted to crash. But, I found out that there are some events. I decided to join some of them, because, why not?
Day 3: The Reflective Rambles & Resignation (aka, Saying Goodbye)
Morning (or, the slow, painful process of waking up): Last day. Woke up feeling a mix of emotions. Sad to leave, but also… kinda ready for my own bed. The joys of travel, right?
Breakfast & Farewell Chai: Another chai, of course. It's become a ritual. Sat and watched the sunrise, realizing I actually really like this place.
Packing (or, the Art of Squeezing Everything Back In): Packing is like a game of Tetris, except the blocks are your slightly-too-large souvenirs and the time limit is "the taxi is waiting." I managed to fit everything in. Mostly.
Departure (or, the inevitable airport drama): Taxi to the airport. The drive felt strangely… familiar. The chaos, the dust, the honking – it all felt like a part of me now. Getting through security was its own adventure. Let's just say, I made a friend with the security guard.
Final Thoughts (or, the inevitable post-trip existential crisis): Ranchi… you were a whirlwind. A chaotic, beautiful, sometimes frustrating, always fascinating whirlwind. I may have gotten dust in my lungs, eaten questionable food, and nearly lost my mind in the traffic. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'll be back again. Maybe to the Super Collection O Oxygen, maybe not, but I'll definitely be back to Ranchi.
- Emotional Reaction: (Good and Bad) I left Ranchi with dust in my shoes, a slightly scarred stomach, and a whole heart. The emotional roller coaster of it all… it was all worth it. I'm both exhausted and exhilarated. I'm already planning my next trip, and I'm already remembering how much I love the city!
This trip was far from flawless. I got lost, I got frustrated, I probably looked like a complete idiot at times. But through it all, I discovered something new. So, until next time, Ranchi. You beautiful, chaotic, and completely unforgettable place.
There you have it. My ridiculously honest, slightly unhinged account of Ranchi. Hope you enjoyed it, and maybe, just maybe, it inspires you to book your own slightly-messy adventure.
KwaZulu-Natal's Hidden Gem: Discover Emaweni Kilroe Beach!
So, what *is* this whole shebang anyway? Like, what's the deal?
Okay, fine. Let's rip the band-aid off. Basically, this is supposed to... I *think* it's supposed to be about... whatever. I'm supposed to... I don't even remember what I'm *supposed* to be saying! Oh, right. FAQs. Frequently Asked Questions. About... *stuff*. You know? Like, things people ask. And I... I try to answer them. Mostly. Somedays. Maybe. Look, my brain's a chaotic mess, so expect a wild ride. Sometimes it'll make sense, other times...well, you've been warned.
Am I gonna learn something here? Seriously?
Learn? Ha! Don't hold your breath. I *intend* to impart wisdom, okay? I *try*. But I’m also the kind of person who starts a sentence and then immediately forgets what the heck I was even *thinking* about in the first place. So, yeah, you might learn something. You might also walk away feeling like you've just witnessed a train wreck. But hey, at least it’s *my* train wreck, right? (Kidding. Sort of.) Just keep your expectations low and your sense of humor high. That's my motto.
Okay, fine. But, like, what *inspired* you to... do this, of all things?
Ugh. "Inspired." That's giving me way too much credit. Okay, so the truth? I was kinda bored. I sat down in front of my computer, and something vaguely resembling… ideas... floated around in my head for a second. Then, poof! Gone. But the *obligation* to do SOMETHING lingered. So, this is what it became. A digital dumpster fire of thoughts. You know, a place of *self-expression*, or whatever. Let's be real, if I *was* inspired it was by my own sheer procrastination. And the need to feel like I'm *doing* something, even if 'something' is rambling incoherently on the internet. Is that inspiration? I don't know. Who even cares anymore?
Wait, is this *all* you've been doing? Talking about doing this?
Look. I'm a *writer* here, okay? You should know this. I write. I *think* I write? Mostly, I'm thinking about writing. And then I get distracted by, like, a butterfly or the sudden urge to organize my spice rack. I have a *very* active inner world. It's full of very loud voices. That all makes sense? If you can't get past the first sentence, then... you have no idea. Trust me.
What's the *absolute worst* part of this whole process? Be honest.
Oh, the *worst* part? Easy. The *doubt*. My brain is an Olympic champion at self-doubt. Every single word I write. Every *comma.* I start thinking, "Ugh, this is garbage. No one wants to read this drivel. I sound like a complete idiot." And then I want to delete everything and go back to binge-watching cat videos. Except then I get *more* self-doubt about *that*. It's a vicious cycle. It's like, the internet's just a huge, judgmental audience, just waiting to pounce. And me? I'm over here, a nervous little hamster, spinning on its existential wheel. *sigh* I still think about the time I thought I should have put a specific word in. And then didn't. I still don't think I can use that word.
Have you ever... regretted any of this? Like, a *lot*?
Oh, honey. You have no idea. Regret is basically my middle name. I regret the shoes I wore today. I regret the choices I made at breakfast. I regret not flossing more consistently. But do I regret ... *this*? Hmm. Yesterday? Absolutely. Today? Maybe a little. Ask again tomorrow. I'll probably be in the fetal position by then, questioning all my life choices. But maybe, just *maybe*, there's also this tiny, flickering hope that someone, somewhere, will read this and think, "Hey, at least I'm not *that* crazy." And if so, then the regret will be... well, slightly less soul-crushing. It's a constant work in progress, let's be honest.
Do you have any advice for others who might want to do this? Or, like, *anything* at all?
Advice? From *me*? Okay, here it is: Don't listen to me! Seriously. I'm a mess. But if you *insist*... Write. Just... write. Don't worry about being perfect. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. Let your weirdness shine. Embrace the chaos. Because honestly? The world's already full of boring. So don't be boring. And... and maybe… just maybe… floss. More. Seriously. I'm begging you.
Alright, alright. One last question - what's the *point* of this, deep down, if there even *is* one?
The *point*? Ah, the million-dollar question. I still haven't found it! Look, maybe there isn't any, you know? Maybe I'm just shouting into the void. Maybe it's all a giant, elaborate exercise in procrastination. But... deep down? Maybe it's about connecting. About finding a little bit of sanity (or insanity?) in the shared human experience. About making someone, somewhere, feel a little bit less alone. Or at least, about hoping that happens. Or at the very least, distracting myself from the crushing weight of existence for a few glorious minutes. Does that sound pretentious? Probably. Am I still gonna do it? You bet your sweet bippy I am. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm suddenly craving a bagel.
