"Right across from Moskovsky Train Station and on Nevsky's bustling Insurrection Square (Ploshchad Vosstaniya), the Oktyabrskaya is another example of Soviet expansiveness." Full review

The labyrinth of corridors is perplexing at first, so don't hesitate to ask for help.
Lonely Planet
"This former bastion of Soviet-style hotel management is showing promising signs of revitalisation.... What's never been at fault is its location, smack-bang opposite the Moscow Station." Full review

Although you may be tempted to ask for a room overlooking pl Vosstaniya, note that the noise does seep in through the windows.
