Bebop is in a great place and the decor is amazing and interesting. The staff seemed very interesting as well, but they were rarely around so they were not overly helpful. The security seemed good.... but then I kept waking up to find 3 or 4 people sleeping in the common room, and I thought, "who let these squatters in here? And where am I supposed to sit to drink my coffee?". Felt a bit like a frat house after a party, except less fun, because the party never happened. Also, great patio!

Good location at Hongdae, easy for sightseeing and going to the aiport on metro, though it's about 5-10 min walk from the station. Spacious common area and kitchen, though not much ppl hang out there during my stay. Take note that they only accept cash payment

Bebop was a cute place in a nice part of town, walking distance to many cafes, restaurants, and bars. Sadly, due to poor timing, I was not able to meet any of the staff, but it was easy to contact Olive (the main staff at the time) through e-mail and phone. I would suggest e-mailing in advance if you plan to arrive especially late at night or early so you can enter the hostel. The bathrooms were clean but a bit awkward since the toilet and shower were inside the same room.

This hostel needs serious cleaning work! I had a private room (which in principle is great, for the price and the need to recover from the large time change). But there were dead bugs on the wall! Obviously smashed long ago, since it's now still winter. REALLY?? Clean the walls at least once a week! Also, you have to put your toilet paper in the rubbish bin next to the toilet. Fine.. but clean the bin! Don't let it overflow with poop paper for days. Otherwise, good location, good lounge.

Bebop was my home away from home in Seoul. It really does have more of a 'share house' vibe and is a great place to come home to at the end of a busy day. The staff are the most wonderful people you will meet (and so helpful) and the guests Bebop attracts are lovely, creative and kind-hearted.

Bebop guesthouse attracts a good group of people. When the hostel is full, you may need to wait a while to use the facilities, but that's to be expected at a hostel. The location is an easy walk to downtown Hongdae, so very convenient.

It was really cozy hostel, very close to Hongdae main area but in an area that are not noisy. Since it's close to Hongdae, it's a good place to transfer from/to the airport. Had a really great stay here and would definitely stay here again.

My stay at the Bebop Guesthouse was fantastic. MK (my host) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and added quite positively to my stay in Seoul. The location offered easy access to a great neighborhood in Seoul and getting to and from the subway was very easy. I highly recommend his guesthouse.

Located in Hongdae area, a nightlife spot, and close to the subway station and a public bath, Bebop is definitely a very nice place. The rent is cheap, and the owner is incredibly helpful. It's not too big, so there aren't too many people at the same time, and the atmosphere is pretty quiet.
