If you know a few Russian travel words doors will be open for you that are closed to people who do not know Russian travel words, you will see what I am talking about.

These are some words that might be of use in Russian travel and in Russian hotels.  Do people in Russian hotels speak English, some hotels do, the Russian girls at the front desk often speak English but most people in my experience do not. Except for the girls working at the hotel reception, everyone speaks Russian so these are good words to know.
