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.

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.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent location, 2min walk to bus stop where we could take bus 421 direct to Myeongdong,namdaemun and subway station. Alternatively, can walk about 10 mins to dongmyo subway station for access to many parts of seoul. It is also a 1 min walk to Emart and a cinema, and many cafes& restaurants. Excellent host and staff- Ponny, her father and JJ. They took care of us very well and was very responsive whenever we text her questions and enquire. She also lent us her wifi egg to enable communication between us. If we need to order food delivery, they were very happy to assist. During our stay, EXO had a comeback and ponny helped us to order their album and we got it before we left seoul Every morning, we will have a drink at the cafe and play with the cats while planning the day with ponny. The washing machine is a bonus for us. Although ths bathroom is small, we had everything we needed. The only small pointer is that the bed was hard but the bedsheet and the blanket was very comfortable so it made up for the small little discomfort. The floor heating system was also very good. Definately reccomend to families and anybody who wants to experience hospitality in seoul

Must stay at if your in Dongdaemun

What I gathered from my 2 weeks stay. I really enjoyed the room decoration as they changed the decoration every few days. They had a very friendly but fun feel. The owner was very nice and helpful. This hotel offered so many amenities like: free coffee in the morning, washer in room, and even a free phone to use for when you are away from the hotel. The only problem I had was the bed was a little to hard for my liking. I wish the hotel would have put some kind of mattress pad to soften the bed up.

I was very pleased with this experience. The room was spacious and kept clean. When I booked, I did not realize it came with a clothes washing machine, which was an added bonus on a 4 week trip (plus I've never come across a commercial laundromat in Korea.) The owner/staff was truly exceptional in responding to questions, and helping me get my hot water turned on when I accidentally turned it off.

Convenient Stay for Family in Center Dongdaemun

We were with 4 adults and 3 teenagers and had plenty of space in the large apartment, suitable for our 2-night stay. Ms. Ponny the owner connected with us via email and later an app and was very helpful with given directions in Seoul, even assisting us to with public transportation. Plenty of towels, a mix of bunker- and kingsize beds. Easy to find as it is right behind a gigantic eMart and Starbucks (1 minute walk!!), though Ponny's Unicorn has also a nice cozy coffeeshop by itself, which functions as the reception to the around 15 or so apartment rooms. It came very handy that Ponny and her small team speak English very well, and communicate around the clock for anything needed, being very friendly and helpful. We walked in about 20 minutes to Dongdaemun Market & clothing shopping malls area. Ponny also assisted in calling a large van who drove 7 of us with huge luggage safely to the airport for Won 100K at 7am. We would surely recommend Unicorn if we return to Seoul and need a large family room.
