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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

環境好，近機場巴士和地鐵站

附近環境很不錯，機場巴士可以到旅宿附近的地鐵站，走路15分鐘可以抵達民宿。附近有很多好吃的餐廳和咖啡店。房間是獨立的套房，衛浴沒有乾濕分離，但是有小廚房，可以簡易的料理，有微波爐和小冰箱，房間內有洗衣機可以洗衣服，並提供曬衣架可以晾曬洗好的衣服和毛巾。住一個禮拜，整天環境很安靜，覺得隔音很不錯。

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.
