"Contemporary opulence on the banks of one of St. Petersburg's most famed canals, that's what on offer in this hotel opened in 2005. It's in a historic if not smack-dab-central part of town."

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

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."

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