Amazing Hostel in Seoul (Bebop Guesthouse)

I know at least a few of my readers are interested in going to Korea someday. One big
problem with people going to Korea who dont speak Korean is accomodation. I say this
because if you want to go somewhere with English speakers, you usually have to pay out

big bucks to stay in American chains. The awesome motel-ish places
( *cough* love hotels *cough*  Hey dont knock em til' you try em ! They are great lol !)

dont take reservations and usually the front desk people dont speak English. A happy medium
of course are hostels. You can book these in advance, and they are geared towards

foreigners so the people will at least speak some English. However, you dont wanna just go
for any random Hostel. So, I thought I'd tell you about an amazing one that I found when I was

in Seoul a few months ago.

Its called Bebop Guest House & its funky and awesome. Its in the area of Hongdae

which is a super artsy area filled with young people. The area of the hostel is quiet but

its in walking distance to the center of Hongdae.

I think there are about 5 bedrooms in all. A couple are single bed ones and then the others

have bunk-beds. I must say that this was not what I pictured when I envisioned a hostel.
It was extremely clean, modern & very enjoyable. It has a very indie vibe to it.
There is a kitchen with basics for making breakfast as well as a vanity area for applying
makeup.

There are 2 bathrooms that were kept very very clean.

The only problem is that often times there will be literally noone there.

Like...as in staff...but just keep their phone # near you if you need something

& they will come back. Quite cool when noone else has booked rooms there. 

This is what you will see when you enter.

Turning left you will see the staircase leading to the rooms upstairs:

At the back there is the kitchen which looks like this :

Absolutely amazing place ! Another great thing is that its super close to this awesome vintage

restaurant called 'Retro Mama' Bebop is basically behind the restaurant. So, if you are in a
cab not sure where to go, look out for the Retro Mama restaurant and walk down the alley
a bit and you will find Bebop.

I give it 5/5
