Yumenoya Kichijoji

The Kichijoji district is worth the trip, but the homestay I booked this time was a big mistake. If you want to book a first-floor homestay, I don't recommend it. Before the trip, I booked both Tokyu REI and Yume-no-ya, which were recommended by tourists. The reviews of the former said that the room facilities were old and you could hear the sound of the tracks (I didn't look closely, the north side faces the tracks and the south side faces the track), so I looked at the pictures and booked Yume-no-ya, which looked more homely and warm and thought it was renovated. The customer service did remind me that the room 106 I booked was close to the railway and I could clearly hear the noise, thinking it was the same problem as REI, but they didn't mention how close it was, just avoiding the main point and saying that it depends on each person's tolerance for noise. Bad point 2⃣️ As shown in the picture, Yume-no-ya is actually divided into two buildings. The room 106 I booked is in a corridor that only allows one person to pass through, facing another room, and the other is at the entrance of a narrow road, which really makes people feel insecure. The sanitation in the room is very average. It can be seen that it is a "renovation" with extremely low costs. The skirting of the bedroom wall is made of stickers, and the wiring is exposed. The floor is simply lifted up, and the dust under the bed makes me glad that I didn't book a room with a floor bed. The mattress is very mediocre, and the bed sheet is as thin as a cicada's wing. The bath towels are piled on the cover of the washing machine. Except for one white towel, the rest are coffee-colored towels. I dare not say that there are any special requirements for the quality of the bath towels. The color cannot make people see the new and old cleanliness at a glance. I have never seen dark bath towels in any hotel or homestay before. The slippers are also black, and the uppers and soles are used. If you advocate the concept of environmental protection, you can clearly state in the booking instructions that it is recommended to bring your own toiletries. Bad point 3⃣️, Mengzhishe does not provide luggage storage service. Although it was communicated in advance that it can be kept until 5:30 before the staff get off work, the customer service did not respond in time when I left at 9 o'clock in the morning. The weather was too hot and there was no need to go back to pick up the luggage. I directly stored it at the station at my own expense. The location of the B&B is in the alley behind Tokyu REI, so I felt extremely upset every time I passed by REI these three nights. I strongly do not recommend it!

It is a B&B on two floors. The stairs are not big, so you have to carry your luggage up by yourself. The walkways are dirty and there are people smoking in the common spaces on the first floor. If you want to experience the one-bedroom life of the Showa period, you can stay here, but you just have to be careful about the noise, because the tram passes right next to it, and there are only 5 hours a day without noise and vibration problems.

1. How should I put it? The house is old and still being renovated. There is no front desk. When I met a few guys (probably staff members) who were working on the house, they didn’t know English at all, so communication was very difficult. 2. This location is far from the subway, a fifteen-minute walk. It is next to the track, which is very noisy. The location is remote and there are many mosquitoes. 3. There is no charge for a washing machine in the house. There is no dryer. I was told that there was one nearby when I walked out, but I couldn’t find it. 4. The sound insulation is very poor. You have to go to Shinjuku to go to any subway station. It is not recommended to stay here if you are traveling. The transportation cost and time are really not recommended. 5. How can I put it this way? If you want to experience suburban life, you have enough time. It’s okay to wander around. You can cook and there are many small shops and convenience stores to eat. It’s not as convenient as a hotel when traveling.

It's close to the subway station and convenient for travel. There are shopping malls and many places to eat nearby. There is a parking space and the shower is comfortable. The sound of the locomotive and railway tracks is relatively loud, there are not many kitchen utensils, and the house and facilities are relatively old.
