How to get from:
Take bus or minibus 39 from outside the terminal building to the Moskovskaya metro station. Enter the station and take the metro to Tekhnologichesky Institut-2 (direct on Line 2, direction Parnas). On arrival, transfer to Tekhnologichesky Institut-1 and take Line 1 in the direction of Devyatkino to Ploshchad Vosstaniya. Take the exit for Ulitsa Vosstaniya. Leaving the station, turn right onto ulitsa Vosstaniya and walk for around 200m up the street until you get to ulitsa Vosstaniya 11.
We’re just a few minutes’ walk from the Moscow Station. Leaving the station’s main exit, turn immediately left, cross Ligovsky Prospekt at the lights, turn right and then cross Nevsky Prospekt (look for the circular building of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station). Take ulitsa Vosstaniya, to the left hand side of the metro station building, and walk up it around 200m until you get to ulitsa Vosstaniya 11, where you’ll see the hotel.
