Quiet, cheap & safe guesthouse.

This is a great place to stay if you need a small and quiet place to stay for very cheap. As long as you're just using the room/facilities for your necessities it is perfect. Also very close to the Sinchon Train station.

online pictures don't match the rooms

We booked through hotels.com and chose our room based on the picture because it was bigger and had extra seating. (The room we booked was the room with a double bed and red furniture and black wallpaper.) When we got there we were taken to a different room not actually in Alpha Guesthouse, but in another hotel on the same street that they had a deal with. The room was so small there wasn't really room for our bags, no seating, and definitely no room to unpack. The picture of the Alpha Guesthouse that you see online only has 2 or 3 rooms actually in that building, and they are hostel style rooms. Any other rooms they have are in other hotels nearby that they have a deal with. When we went back to tell them we had reserved a different room, the person working at the "front desk" kept saying that when we booked on expedia (we did not use expedia, but he thought we did) they just got a code for the size of room we wanted, but did not know which picture we had seen. I told him he should make the pictures online accurate, but he was just laughing and kept repeating himself. He wouldn't do anything to help us out because the manager was not there. We came back in the morning when the manager was supposed to be there, and he was- sleeping on a cot behind the desk. The guy from the night before woke him up and told him the situation and the manager, clearly hung over, and not even looking at us, just told the guy to switch our room to the one we booked. After half an hour, he moved us to the room we saw online, which had been available all along. It was also in another hotel on the same street. It did not look as big as the picture made it look online and had only one strange greenish light, but we decided to stay there anyway. There was one small window that did not let in any light and no closets or drawers. Needless to say, we were not impressed at all with this hotel. If it had not been so late and we had had more energy, we probably would have just looked for another place the first night we got there because the surrounding streets were full of hotels.

Not a hotel. A middle man.

Thought we were reserving a room at this place. Turned up at seven and was told to come back at ten. Came back at ten and had to wait in line to be taken to another place. This was a s e x motel. We paid 20000 more for our room because of the middle man.

A good stay.

I've been staying in the guesthouse for about a week. It is convenient because it is located somewhere in the middle of the busy Sinchon station. Everything is here. Coffee shops are nearby, markets, shopping complex, you name it. Good stay.

Last Resort Place to Stay

I needed a hotel in an emergency situation and had limited funds, thus I chose this hotel. The hotel room is very small. If you have any luggage, you will not be able to move around in your room. There is no elevator, so be prepared to walk up a few flight of stairs on the way up to your room. If you have luggage, forget about it as you would be carrying this up and down the stairs. The front desk people speak no English at all. So if you need help, you better speak Korean. Only use as a last ditch place or if you really have no money to spend.

Get what you pay for

This place was really cheap and you end up getting what you paid for. It isn't "nice" to look at, but things are clean enough. The building my room was in had week AC and I had trouble sleeping cause I couldn't get comfortable with the heat. The staff were friendly and eager to please, but they left loose ends in different points and aspects of the check-in process that made them seem a bit unprofessional. It is a personal quirk I judging from, though. Overall, it's fine, but I would avoid it during hot weather.

よかったと思います。

2日間滞在しました。受付だけして、後はフリーだったのでとても楽だったのですが、布団を干してなかったのか、ダニに食われてました。。。ほか、シャワーやトイレ、部屋などはこの値段のところにしては綺麗だったのでよかったと思います。場所はちょっと分かりづらいです。HPなどに韓国語で住所が載っていればタクシーのおじちゃんも乗せてってくれますが、英語表記のみだったのでタクシーで行くのにも結構苦労しました。行ってしまえばとても便利な場所だとは思います◎

두개의 알파게스트하우스로 조금 헤맸음. 밤늦게 입실을 했지만 60대정도의 여성이 반겨주셨고, 화장실도 비교적 넓은편이였으며 관광책자에 불편함이없었지만 다음날 10시 넘어서 왠 남자 외국인목소리가 들렸고, 밖에서 누워서 전화중이였음. 직원은 보이지도 않음. 조금 찝찝했지만 신촌역과 가까워서 좋았음

今回は４泊させて頂きました！以前、留学した際にも一ヶ月間利用させて頂きましたが、オーナーのおじさんは英語も出来、すごく優しい人でした^ ^ 部屋もキレイだし、冷蔵庫に入ってるお水は勝手に飲んでOKだし、キッチンも最低限の器具や食器も揃っているので料理を作って食べることも出来ました。トイレやシャワーについても特に問題はなく、毎日掃除してくれるので汚くないです^_^ ただ、部屋が寒いです(笑)布団が薄いので厚着して寝るのがいいと思います。夏は泊まったことないのでどんな感じかわかりませんが…冬と春は寒いなという印象を受けました。でも値段が最高に安いので許せるかな^o^
