"My friend and I were incredibly lucky to find this place available for the rest of our 12 day stay in Seoul as we had to leave our previous hotel due to poor conditions. The host is absolutely lovely! She greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the room. She was incredibly accommodating and assisted with anything that we needed. For instance, she even printed out a PDF for me that I needed for the airport :) the room itself was amazing! There was so much room for 2 people and we really enjoyed having a dining area. Like I mentioned, we stayed there for 12 days and each day my friend and I expressed how happy we were to be staying at the Residence Unicorn!"
"Nothing."

Dauda Ischia Hotel
"The room was spacious and comfortable. It was well-stocked, which was awesome because I had misplaced my toothbrush, but the room had a toiletries bag that included a new one! The bed was comfortable, and the mini-fridge and kettle were great. The breakfast in the mornings was tasty and filling. The staff at the front desk were super kind and helpful."

"The room had large windows overlooking the ocean and a pine-wood bathtub in the room. I had the opportunity to experience a Japanese-inspired hot tub and tea table. Their breakfast was a diverse selection, including Korean, American, and other dishes that could be customized to suit my preferences from the tables."
"Hotel conceirge was very helpful in giving directions for my trips in the town. Amenities in the room were very good with a good supply of toileteries to water, chocolate snack, Ramyeon and coffee, tea readily available. I didnt lack for anything including a face mask."

"방도 넓고 욕실과 욕조도 크고 넓었습니다. 물도 온천물이라서 너무 좋았어요~ 주변 온천갈꺼없이 여기서 온천욕하면 될꼬같아요 웰컴 스낵도 너무 좋았습니다. 다음에 또 방문할 의사 있습니다."
