a adequate stay

great locationcentral stationblue heartsmall roombare minimumdark room
the location rocks, it is right by the central station. the subway and main shopping street are so close. i also loved the cute little blue heart sweets they had at the desk. it was such a nice welcome!
the room was very small. i thought the room size should been larger. the bathroom had bare minimum toiletries which was not fun. also when i asked about the dark room, they just told me to switch on the light, duh
