Description:
Right across from Moskovsky Train Station and on Nevsky's bustling Insurrection Square (Ploshchad Vosstaniya), the Oktyabrskaya is another example of Soviet expansiveness, but in a 19th-century style. The hotel went from prestigious to seedy and is on its way back up to being a reliable, midrange option. One wing is being renovated at a time, and rooms are qualified as either standard (meaning cramped and creaky) or upgraded (meaning fumigated, polished, and generally pleasant). The labyrinth of corridors is perplexing at first, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Units vary in size with no apparent logic, but all are comfortable. Service is sometimes begrudging -- some old Soviet ways die hard -- but it's forthcoming if you're persistent.
