This was the worst hostel stay I've ever had in my life (if you are bored to read, just check the vid below). 

At first, I had been provided a different kind of room from what I've booked: the manager said single rooms are sold out, so placed me into a dormitory room right behind their registration counter and common space, but for single usage (i.e. no other people there). I wasn't happy about this, because in that common space there were some elder Chinese women (supposedly relatives or staff: owners aren't Korean, but from China) and a noisy kid. However, manager assured me that kid is leaving before evening, so I thought that gonna be OK. 
It was kinda OK until check-out day. Check-out time is 12 PM, however I was woken up by kids screams about 11 AM. Being quite disturbed for lack of sleep, I went out, saw a kid and one of those women and asked, why this noise and why they can't keep a kid in their room or elsewhere. In reply got: "We can't do anything, it's a kid". I went back to my room, packed my things, came out again and said, that I can check out right now, since cannot sleep anyway, but wanna talk to the manager first (I had upcoming bookings and wanted to request put me in their other building to avoid such problems). 
To my surprise, the woman gets angry, starts scolding me, telling me to get out right now and threatening with police. Then she took my bag and threw it across the room, said that won't call the manager and demanded me to get out right now.
Never again.

Service-wise it was horrible beyond words

I don't recommend this hostel. I stayed here for four nights and rented a single room. The room itself was okay but the room was super dirty! Everywhere was hair, on the floor and even in my bed. It wasn't cleaned. The bathroom wasn't cleaned in ages. Also, the owners didn't speak any English. I think for the price I paid you have better hostels than this.

Dirty

This was our first trip to South Korea, Alpha was both perfectly located for our needs and the price was right. This is more of a share house with other guests, the room were small but clean and they are located in the center of all things that were of interest to us.  Close to Yonsei University was a must. 
              

Alpha Guest House

This guesthouse is just a short walk from the Sinchon subway station, so it's not a problem getting around the city.  Watch out for the downhill path just before you get to the guesthouse's office.  The owners were very kind and friendly, though their English is limited. Just ask them if you need something like towels, etc.  

We booked a twin room and got 2 bunk beds.The room space was ok, there was a window, though no sunlight was coming in.  When the lights are out, it was pitch black.  There was also sounds of some machine humming during the night (actually even during the day), we couldn't figure out what it was.

The room rate wasn't expensive, but it was a good stay. The kitchen amenities, hair dryer and the bathroom were all shared, but it isn't that bad as others think.  Just make sure to return the hair dryer once you're done using it (someone from the other room asked me where it was; maybe the guests from another room forgot to return it to the common area). No issues as well with the shared bathroom. We were lucky it was always clean during our stay.

Around the area, there are motels nearby, but it's not a big concern, just watch out for cars pulling over.  There are convenience stores along the main road, so getting necessities isn't a problem. The Sinchon area on the other side is a nice place to explore, with lots of places for 
eating and shopping, it looks like a little version of Myeongdong.

Very good location

Prices are cheap, the rooms are good (I stayed in the dorms) and the owners are so nice! They will always help you out. Even though the mum doesn't speak English well, she will try to have a conversation with you every day.
It's a great guesthouse if you're looking for a budget room in one of the very convenient areas of Seoul! Sinchon area is really nice especially for young people :)
