The labyrinth of corridors is perplexing at first, so don't hesitate to ask for help.

"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.
