the pass was very useful. we bought the 2 day pass. unfortunately, we weren’t able to make the most out of it because you still need to travel far in some tourist spots.

I stayed here for a night while traveling alone in Seoul. It was easy to find because it was in the center of Ikseon-dong, and the room and bathroom were super clean. I'm going to stay here again on my next trip^^
