Clean spacious room and super easy to check in and out. Host was responsive. It was nice to have full size washer and good size fridge. The bathroom needs update. The shower hose was attached to the sink and bathroom floor remains wet after showers.

We were so impressed with the hospitality. The property is in a great location near a huge stretch of restaurants and a pharmacy. The subway is a 13 minute walk and taxi is easily accessible. When we had a question they responded immediately with the support we needed. Highly recommend.

Our stay at unicorn was great. Pony was so helpful and kind and gave us a lot of advice about how to check in, how to use the facilities and about local cuisines to try. It’s a very short walk from the train station so easy to get around, and the nearby creek is a beautiful walk/run. The room was very clean. The milk tea dessert bar downstairs from the property is also fantastic and I recommend you try the dacquoise.

Pony, kindly let ne checked in early, truly appreciate. Residence Unicorn was like a home away from home, it had all that I need. Fresh towels n huge bottled water were all ready when i checked in. I enjoyed the privacy it provided, no need for key cards. The area was very interesting with a mix of young n old n a lovely stream nearby. Also, plenty of cafes, restaurants n a hypermart. Thanks Pony for making my stay enjoyable 😘

Absolutely perfect stay for me! I do not like soft beds, this hotel has the best bed quality for my needs . The breakfast buffet was EXCELLENT! Their soy milk was delicious and made in the same exact style that I used to have in my childhood. They also serve FRESHLY squeezed (mandarin) orange juice and watermelon juice. GREAT location to Taoyuan High Rail station. I walked there at the start of my day to Taipei and if at the end of my day i got too tired, cab AND Uber are plenty. I will absolutely come back and stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Comfortable and convenient.
Comfortable 2 week stay in Seoul, convenient access to Emart - a complete korean supermarket where you will find everything that you might need. Access to several metro stations are all about 15 min walk from the hotel. The room had a kitchenette, breakfast table, washer (no dryer), room fan, heating and air con. Our room did not have a separate shower, but a bathroom sink/manual showerhead combo. Dishes, utensils, cookingware, hairdryer, shampoo/cond, disposable slippers and bottled drinking water provided. Room was not luxurious but clean, well sized and comfortable. A lot of nice restaurants and bakeries in the area. Great communication with host. Got instructions to self check-in about 48 hrs before. The building has an elevator.

Une nouvelle expérience vers Séoul, mais cette fois dans un logement inoubliable ! ❤️
Le logement est vraiment très bien situé. Vous avez tout à portée de main et à toutes heures !
Le service nettoyage est régulier et est fait avec sérieux et grand soin.
Quant à Pony, une hôte très attentive à ses locataires, très gentille et très serviable.
Je vous encourage à vous poser dans ce petit nid douillet, vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu(e).
Je pense déjà à mon 3ème retour à Séoul, et il ne fait nul doute que je redéposerai mes bagages à Unicorn.
