    if its a concrete floor you shouldn't have any probs with rapid set no need for flexi,you could centre it by dry laying it and using a main door way as your reference point for centre,this is how i would set it out if there is several doors leading from the hall!

    Just try to get your cuts central and as big a cut as poss to the walls etc...

    You say the tiles are 330 x 330 but not what type they are......might need a flexi if porcelain biscuit etc... and flexi grout...check what the tile is before you buy materials..
