I had a lovely stay at Icos Guesthouse. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the subway and near a 24-hour restaurant for late-night beef bone soup. The traditional hanok style adds a unique charm, although the shared bathrooms can be a bit inconvenient during winter. Overall, it was a great experience, but having someone at the reception would improve the experience further.

I stayed in a double room with a traditional futon mattress. The space was clean and cozy, offering great privacy as I didn't have a roommate during my visit. The ondol heating system kept the room warm, and the thick blankets were a nice touch during the chilly spring nights.

My stay at ICOS Guesthouse was a mixed experience. The warmth from the traditional heated floors was nice, but the mattress was too thin, making sleep difficult. YoungAe, the manager, was incredibly welcoming, coming to my rescue when I got lost, and the guesthouse had a charming atmosphere. However, the thin walls and cold bathroom made me long for the comfort of my previous stay elsewhere.
