Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were not as spacious as expected with three beds on display, perhaps from an older design, but still provided a cozy retreat during the cold February month since 1906. The service I received was mixd, with some staff being very nice while others were impolite and unhelpful. The location was convenient, close to various amenities and public transportation options, although it could be unsettling for solo female travelers after dark. The dining experience offered a satisfactory selection of meals at a decent price despite some areas needing renovation. However, the facilities lacked modern features and sound insulation within the rooms, making it less appealing for a return visit.
The Siru Hotel is a mixed bag with some highlights like the great central location near the metro but also drawbacks such as old and dirty rooms and expensive dining options. The service varies from friendly to tired, and the facilities are decent.
