In Christopher Nuttall's Schooled In Magic, there's Whitehall School Of Magic which is Larger On The Inside Than It is On The Outside.
While new Students at first have trouble finding their way around the school, generally the School doesn't attempt to fool them.
Of course, there are other places in that World (called the Nameless World) that are really "interesting", especially places where the Ancient Faerie made their home.
Messing with your mind is something very different from non-Euclidean architecture, or even moving about walls and stairways and the like.
The effect is a baffling location, but they are very different in the effect when you realize what is happening, and thematically. Messing with someone's mind is malicious, while the other two merely may be.
It was a delight to see someone mention Stoddard's High House. it's one of my favorite and most inventive fantasy novels.
And talking non-Euclidean geography, I seem to recall that classic Dr. Seuss books and art had a lot of it.
Hmmm -- I think Dr. Seuss had a lot of odd and unusual geography, but being in visual form, didn't have non-Euclidean.
I grant the border gets rather fuzzy.

You can get around most non-Euclidean places via distances and landmarks. It's just that they don't add up.
True, but that's when something/someone isn't attempting to mess with your mind.
