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.

친구들과 종로에서 공연보고 함께 묵었어요. 긴 식탁이 있었던 게 정말 정말 좋았어요. 주변에 상가도 많아서 먹을데며 시장볼 데도 많아서 음식을 사다 같이 먹으며 수다 떨었어요. 다들 들어오더니 안 나가고 싶다하더라구요. 세제향 나는 침구며 뽀드득한 식기며 아기자기한 인테리어며 다들 만족했어요. 사진보다 더 깔끔한 화장실에는 세탁기도 있었어요. 도착하기 전에 친절한 문자 설명도 좋았구요. 좀 늦게 체크아웃해도 좋다고 문자도 주시구요. 다들 다음에도 여기 예약해서 또 놀자고 하네요. 네비에는 뒤쪽으로 안내가 되어서 좀 헤맸는데 그것만 좀 큰길로 좀 안내가 되면 좋겠어요. 숙소는 정말 큰길가 옆에 있었어요!! 큰 이마트 옆 골목으로 찾음 쉬울듯요.

(Free drinks are available for your Check in and out) warn) super-duper cutie kitties are in check in cafe(not in the residence building, no worries) Who has allergic on cat, better to wait from outside of cafe.

엄청 친절하신 주인분이셔서 이불도 깔끔하게 잘 세탁한 티가 나고 디자인도 아기자기하고 숙소 여유공간도 있어서 좋았음. 콘센트도 군데군데 잘 배치되어있음. 수건 샴푸 린스 바디샤워 핸드솝 구비되어있고, 개인 칫솔 치약 클렌져는 챙겨가야함. 간단한 기름 소금 설탕 냄비 그릇 등이 있어 취사 가능하지만 환기문제로 고기 생선 카레 등 냄새나는 류는 조리불가. 바닥에 보일러도 잘 들어오고 수압도 좋고 인근에 이마트도 있고 배달주문도 가능함. 자주 놀러오게 될거같습니다

다음날 근처에 일정이 있어 전날 머물면서 저녁도 해먹으려 갔습니다. 고기 굽는 것은 불가하다 하니 꼭 유념해주세요. 그리고 음식을 해도 냄새가 잘 안빠집니다ㅠㅠ 창문을 열어도 잘 안빠지더라고요. 숙소는 깔끔했고 쉬기에 나쁘지 않았습니다. 체크인 시 또는 체크아웃 시에 커피음료 한 잔을 주십니다. 그게 의외로 굉장히 좋았네요! 차로 해당 숙소를 찾기에 조금 어려울 수 있습니다. 눈을 크게 뜨고 찾아야 해요. 주차장소는 조금 빨리가서인지 다행히 저는 있었어서 편하게 대었는데, 문의를 드리는 것이 좋을 듯 합니다.

LINEでやりとりをし、ゲストハウスまでの行き方を細かく教えてくれたり、到着に合わせてエアコンもつけておいてくれたり、お父さんが帰りも駅まで送って下さり、とっても助かりました！ 近隣にeマートがあり、買い物には全く困りません。 美味しい飲食店もあり、東大門まで清渓川を散歩しながら行くことも出来ました。 バス停もすぐ前にあるので、明洞へ行くのには便利です！ ディフューザーの匂いがちょっと強かった。 建物に入る時に小さな虫がたくさん一緒に入ってきて、それだけが困りました。

GOOD!
지방에서 올라온 친구랑 같이 방문했는데 좋았습니다. 저희가 묵었던 트윈 키티 스튜디오는 두명이 머물기 편안했으며, 침구 상태도 좋았습니다. 창문이 앞뒤로 하나씩 있어서 환기가 잘 되는 편이었구요. 주방에는 다수의 양념과 식기들이 잘 갖추어져 있었으며, 후라이팬도 상태가 좋았습니다. 또한 냉장실과 냉동실이 같이 있는 냉장고가 있어서 편히 얼음을 얼려먹을 수 있었으며, 전자레인지가 있어 음식을 데울 때 상당히 용이했습니다. 걱정했던 소음문제는 창문을 열지 않는 이상 없었으며(창문을 열면 차 소리가 들리긴 합니다), 덕분에 편하게 잠들었습니다. 화장실에는 샤워부스는 없었지만 미닫이식 서랍이 있어 옷이 젖거나 하는 일이 없었습니다. 숙소 바로 옆에 대형마트가 있어서 정말 좋았습니다. 또한 청계천도 근방이라 아침에 산책하기 좋았습니다. 마지막으로, 스탭분과 사장님께서 정말 친절하셨습니다. 방문 하루 전 안내문자를 주셨고, 방문 당시에도 하나하나 빠짐없이 챙겨주셔서 큰 감동을 받았습니다. 다음에도 꼭 방문할 예정입니다. It was nice to visit with my friend from the countryside. The twin Kitty studio we stayed in was comfortable for two people, and the bedding was good. The windows were very well ventilated because they had one back and one side. The kitchen was well equipped with a lot of spices and utensils, the refrigerator was good for freezing ice or storing food, and the microwave was very easy to heat up. The noise problem I was worried about was that I didn't have to open the window unless I could hear the sound of a car when I opened the window. There were no shower booths in the bathroom, but there were sliding drawers that kept my clothes from getting wet. It also went Wi-Fi well. It was really nice to have a large mart right next to my lodging. Also, Cheonggyecheon was nearby, so it was good to take a walk in the morning. Lastly, the staff and the boss were very kind. I was very impressed by the kind guidance the staff gave me during the visit. I will visit here again.
