An excellent choice for a stay in Ravenna. Very good value for money. Close to everything, easy to reach the station, local transit, restaurants and shops and the main piazza. Top marks for friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Rooms small but clean and stylish. Fresh, high quality breakfast provided daily. Definitely would return and would recommend to others without qualification.

3.5

After one night we changed rooms that where rated the same price as the first night but they charged us for more. There is a lot of inside noice in this hotel the ellevator is very very noisy

9.8

A very nice hotel in a great location in a pretty city. The employees were very helpful.

9.4

Extremely helpful staff. Thanks!

9.7

excellent location, very good hotel, reasonable price

8.8

The first room I got was loud but they changed it immediately, the bath room was very small. The breakfast was good, the location is excellent, within the area pedonale, just 1 minute from Piazza del Popolo! So, the hotel exceeded my standard.

9.7

We had 2 nights in two "economy" rooms. The "economy" classification refers to the size of the rooms. It is good enough for 1-3 nights, but definitely not suitable for longer vacation. The hotel offers "normal" rooms as well, choose one of those if you plan beach activities. The hotel staff is excellent, friendly, helpful. They helped us a lot finding parking, good restaurant (try the home made pasta in La Gardela nearby - perfect!!). This accomodation is value for money, you get exactly what was promised and what you expect.

8.9

The hotel was within 2 minutes of the tourist office where they offer free bicycle hire, the best way to take in all the sites around the city. Breakfast was adequate enough for us to skip lunch!

8.7

Vey good and safe hotel located just at the corner of the main square of Ravenna. Serious and professional staff.

8.0

HOtel Centrale Byron was located in the heart of the old town, in walking distance of many shops and cafes. We enjoyed our stay.

9.7

Excellent location in the heart of the old center! Ideal for torism

9.6

The hotel is in a "traffic limited zone", so it's very quiet. The bedroom was modest in size, but the bathroom was surprisingly spacious. A small fridge was a welcome amenity. Everything was clean and well maintained. The people at the reception spoke good English and were helpful and friendly.

9.8

We would definitely recommend the Centrale Byron. It's perfectly situated in the center of the historic district. Our room was clean and nicely appointed, the staff was very professional and polite, and the breakfast buffet was excellent with very attentive servers. The hotel isn't hard to find since there are signs directing you towards the hotel throughout Ravenna. After unloading luggage, parking is another matter. Make sure to ask the staff to trace on the map they provide the best way to get to the parking since many of the roads are one way. The public parking lot for 2.5 Euros a day just west of the Museo Nazionale is just a short 10 minute walk down the Via C. Cavour to the hotel and is a great option.

8.0

Staff was terrific! Coould not have asked for nicer people. Hotel location is spectacular, 4 doors away from main square. Room was minimal sized, just barely enough for one person, but do-able. One-meter square stall shower was impossible, with folding doors that did not keep the water off the floor. Ask for a bath!

8.5

only trouble was shower stall. it had no provision to keep the soap or shampoo. over all, a good place to stay. competent and helpful staff. nice cafe and restaurants around. walkable distance from train station. I enjoyed my stay

9.1

Très bien sauf l'odeur persistante de tabac dans le hall, les couloirs et l'ascenseur.

9.1

We loved being the heart of Ravenna and easy walking to restaurants and sites. Knowing you cannot drive in Ravenna we parked outside of the city and walked in in hopes of making it easier to find our hotel. It still took us one hour to find the hotel. The staff was then very helpful in giving us directions to approach the hotel and drop of baggage and then drive to the parking area. The hotel itself was very nice and clean and welcoming. We did not appreciate the reception person smoking however. We understood that Italy no longer allows smoking indoors. There was no smoking in any of the rooms or the breakfast room. The buffet for breakfast was very good and servers were wonderful and efficient.

9.5

Terrific location; very kind and helpful staff, all the basics. Would stay here again.

6.4

The hotel is of average quality. I had an odour emanating from the bathroom which required the door to be kept closed. The location is perfect.

9.9

Perfektes kleines Altstadthotel in der Fußgängerzone. Standardroom bedeutet 2 Räume mit 2 Queensizebetten. Netter Empfang. Einziger Nachteil: Keine Parkmöglichkeit. Öffentliche Parkgarage bzw Parkplatz mit Hilfe des Personals nicht allzu schwer zu finden.

9.2

Nice, efficient staff and great location. A very good hotel for a reasonable price.

8.4

A very pleasant and central hotel, very nicely refurbished. The bathroom, in particular was super and the staff extremely helpful in letting us check our email. Breakfast was good BUT the air-conditioning was centrally controlled and switched off in the night. Each night I awoke hot and opened a window, so getting badly bitten at one stage by mosquitoes.

9.3

The location could not be better. The hotel itself is good, the staff frindly and the breakfast excellent. Ravenna is a wonderful town, and the Centrale Byron a great place to stay.

7.7

Lots of street noise. Impossible even with elevators to avoid negotiating stairs.

7.7

Difficult to find cheaper meals nearby.

9.9

We stayed three nights and were very impressed with the friendly and welcoming staff. The location was superb and the hotel itself of the highest quality. Would recommend it highly and would go back there again!

8.1

There's a cheap parking lot nearby (for only 2,5 Euros per day) - the nice staff at the reception can provide guidance to that parking lot. It's also allowed to stay for 1/2 hr directly in front of the hotel.

8.7

Single rooms a little small but had everything one needed. Excellent location in the pedestrianised area and helpful staff. Easy walking distance to all the main sites.

8.6

Posizione perfetta! Gentilissimo staff! Eccellente rapporto qualità/prezzo. Great position in the very downtown! Staff very kind and helpfull! Excellent price/quality balance.

8.9

first time in this hotel.everything was very nice

8.7

Very friendly staff, good breakfast, excellent position, just into town.

10

We stayed here for the first time and certainly will come back! The hotel is perfectly located, clean and well refurbished. The breakfast was lovely and all staff very helpful. As a family with two children we sometimes have to compromise on space in quadruple rooms but it wasn't a case in this hotel. There was a king size bed and two single beds and still plenty of room.

9.8

This hotel is better than my expectation. The room is spacious and clean. Atomosphere of the room is better than the pictures on the wab page. One of the best thing is breakfast. The quality of bread, ham and juice is the best during my travel. I can enjoy breakfast. No need to say, the location is the best! It's center of Ravenna.

7.7

The room was ok the location was excellent.You couldn't be more central. Breakfast (included was good. You can't drive into central Ravenna unless you tell the hotel your number plate so you don't receive a fine in the mail when you get home. The cr park is a good 10 minute walk with luggage to the hotel, but only 2.50 euro per day.

9.9

The location of this hotel was excellent. Right in the pedestrian walking zone in the center of town and within walking distance to all the major sites (namely the mosaics). The staff was very friendly, helpful and accomodating. I would definitely return and stay in this hotel again!

9.6

Had a great time. Ravenna is a gem. Getting to the hotel with a car (to drop bags) is a real mind-bender, so pack light and walk. The 'Centrale' in the name is well-deserved. The rooms were clean and nice for an inexpensive hotel...a much needed price break from Venezia!

9.2

A perfect location for exploring a 'jewel' of a city. Good quality service and accommodation. I would definitely choose to stay at Hotel Centrale Byron again.

9.1

We wanted to be right in the historic center of Bologna & this hotel is certainly there! We had our auto with us & the staff suggested we park it in a nearby piazza & we could pay the Hotel for the parking permit which was 7 euro for 24 hours. This was a great solution as we were somewhat worried about where we would find a place. The parking area was less than a block behind the Hotel and it worked out perfectly. I have to admit that we were pleasantly surprized by the nice decoration of the room we occupied and its feel of comfortable coziness. All the staff were quite friendly & helpful and we regretted we had so little time on this trip for Bologna. We definitely plan to go back soon and I would certainly stay at this hotel again.

9.7

Friendly and helpful if little contact with staff. We were recommended to an excellent restaurant called La Gardella. Also nearby is the covered market, good place to buy picnic lunches.Hotel centrally located. Most attractions within walking distance.

8.5

The location is very good, right in the middle of everything. If you arrive by car, be aware the central district is closed to unauthorised traffic and you'll get a fine unless you ask hotel reception to notify the authorities that you are a guest there and so can drop off/collect luggage. Good, cheap parking available nearby.

8.2

Our room was a double bed one and the Hotel met our standard.

9.8

Only 50 yards from Piazza del Populo, ideally situated for visiting Ravenna's superb mosaics. Friendly little cafe/bar La Petite Arquebuse 20 yards down the road.

9.6

This hotel had the best breakfast of all 7 we visited on our 2-week stay of Italy this year. Excellent location in an excellent city.

7.7

Nice hotel, well located and clean. Beds a bit uncomfortable, but good breakfast and helpful staff.

9.3

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of old town in Ravenna, just a couple of steps from the central square. The room is spacious and very clean. The breakfast was as usual in Europe the standard bread and some ham with cheese, but with plenty of coffee and juice. The staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly. I would reccomend this hotel to everyone who seeks for good value and relatrively small price.

7.6

Excellent Location but in limited traffic area & difficult to access by car, no parking.

9.4

The only drawback was the lack of double glazing which made the rooms quite noisy until late, due to position so near the main plaza. But I really enjoyed my stay.

9.0

Everything was good. The location of hotel is excellent - near the centre square of city, but it was no noise in the room. The only problem was that I couldn`t recive any fax information about my reservation, which I needed for making visa to Italy. The hotel manager answered me one time and didn't answer to my other letters :( But offline contacts with personnel were nice.

6.8

The hotel was ideally located, just off the main square, however, my room facing the street was noisy. The configuration of the very small bathroom was a bit dangerous, with the edge of the shower stall right up against the room needed for the door to open inside the bathroom. I tripped on it a couple of times just trying to get through the door. Also, the front desk person forgot to return my passport when I left and since I didn't discover this until I got to the next town, I was obliged to return to get it. I think it is the responsibility of the hotel to return passports without having to ask for them or at least to make some kind of amends when they forget.

9.1

The breakfast was lovely and the women who looked after the restaurant and meal were very caring and professional. The location could not have been better. We found Ravenna to be a real gem.

8.3

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. The surrounding area was beautiful, with an excellent restaurant within 5 minutes walking distance. I'd definitely like to return to Ravenna!

6.9

Nice clean hotel. Not a lot of amenities, but convenient location and friendly staff.

8.0

A nice hotel, central to city centre and major tourist attractions and restaurants, but some distance from the railway station.

9.2

My only real complaint was that our room smelled of stale smoke and the air conditioning was a bit weak. That said, Hotel Centrale Byron was perfectly situated in Ravenna, close to all the important landmarks and some excellent restaurants. Good breakfast, pleasant staff. Would definitely stay there again.

7.8

I would recommend staying in hotel Byron. Our room was somewhat small but we had a bath tub (nice for a change if you travel longer). the lady at the reception was being very friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was pleasant to stay in and we enjoyed the buffet.Being so close to Piazza del populo gives you a wonderful start to get to know beautiful Ravenna.

7.6

There was major resurfacing work being done in the street on which the hotel main entrance is. Although we were changed to a room looking towards the back in order to avoid noise, other residents must have been woken up early - should there not have been a warning at the time of booking and was there a discount for affected clients? The room furnishing were clean but looked a little "tired", the stairs and vast staircase area looked a bit like those in a 1950s hospital and the lift was tiny.

8.5

The hotel staff were incredible and very helpful! The hotel is in a perfect location, right in the heart of Ravenna. I felt very safe in the neighborhood even into the evenings because there were so many people out and about. (Luckily I never heard them from my room.) My only problem was that my telephone Italia phone card didn't work from any of the hotel's phones.

9.2

Great location. Fine hotel reasonably priced.

10

This is an ideal place to stay in Ravenna. The staff is very professional and the location is perfect.

9.7

Easy walk from the train station - nice breakfast. Welcoming and helpful staff. Small room, but the price was low also. Almost all the areas with mosaics are withing easy walking distance of this hotel. Finding an open restaurant on Sunday night is a challenge. This city is a real jewel!

9.1

the best place to discover Ravenna in 1 day

9.3

Excellent location. The breakfast was very good. The stuff was very helpful - I had a problem with my tooth and they even found me a dentist nearby who made me happy.

8.9

An excellent location right at the centre of the town, helpful staff and a quiet area in the evening allowing a good night's sleep. Breakfast was generous and the coffee good. I thoroughly recommend this hotel which is not far from the famous mosaics.

7.4

March 16th, 2007: We stayed there on a Friday night and could not sleep until the loud mouths outside decided to shut-up at 3 in the morning. The soundproofing of this hotel is inexistent. The hotel is well located but hard to reach with a car since there is a lot of road work & detours near the hotel.

7.4

My husband, two kids and I spent one night at Hotel Byron. It is in an excellent location, just off the main piazza. In our room for 4, the two single daybeds did not have linens for sleeping but hotel staff readily remedied. The room was next to the elevator shaft so it was quite noisy. Breakfast was OK, nothing special.

8.0

Staff was very helpful. The hotel is conveniently placed near the center of town. The hotel was quite clean. Very pleased.

9.6

It doesn't get more central than this! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and fell in love with Ravenna. Great restaurants, wine bars & shops nearby. Found parking about 5 mins walk from hotel. Would love to come back.

9.2

A wonderful welcoming Hotel, competent and helpful staff. I imagine this is due to the fact that the hotel is outside of those awful 'chains' where bad management is the theme!! and passed from one to the other. My stay at Hotel Byron Central in Ravenna was wonderful. PS The breakfast buffet superb!

5.3

Great location, otherwise the hotel is just mediocre. Should probably not be 3 stars

10

EXCELLENT VALUE and very close to sights.

8.6

If you plan to visit ancient Ravenna, this hotel is perfectly situated in the middel of the town, with walking distance to all ancient churches, surrounded by reastaurants and cafés of good quality. And with a nice and helpful staff. And a good breakfast.

10

Great location in Ravenna, clean, quiet room, friendly staff!

7.0

The hotel is briliantly stuated in the heart of Ravenna walking distance from all the main sights. It's a bit tricky if you are driving as the street is a pedestrian area -except for access to the hotel. The room we stayed in was small but characterful. The breakfast was surprisningly good for Italy with plenty of pastries and cold meats etc. with lovely cappuccino. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the price was very reasonable.

8.3

This is a well located hotel, simple, unpretentious. I got what I waited for. Good brakfast. Small room, too samll!

7.1

Good hotel bang in the centre of town and a short distance from the station. Rooms a little on the small side but adequate. Quite a bit of hotel staff noise coming up from ground level via inner courtyard. Good budget priced hotel.

6.2

Location is excellent for sightseeing this city. But it is better for you not to expect this hotel another "good point".

9.2

In the heart of Ravenna but absolutely quiet. Access by car for lugage change possible. Indoor Garage or outdoor Parking (E 2.50/day) available in walking distance. Small room but integrated in down town buildings. Breakfast buffet in international standard (not italian one..) Shopping and Restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. In fact no negative comment possible!

9.0

we stay 1 day in Ravenna. It was difficult to get the hotel because pedestrian areas. The staff was very kind to help us to find a parking near the hotel. It was a quiet hotel.

4.8

The price was right for the accomodation and area. It was what I expected. It was basic, the beds were comfortable. No private baths is a problem. The breakfast was not good. If they bought a few fresh croissants each day, or even supplied a toaster it would make a big difference. Also, there were no telephone books so one couldn't even phone a taxi or look up friends in different hotels. We walked everywhere, so the location while a bit futher than some hotels from the action was not too far. It was only a few blocks from the train station so we could walk faster than a cab could get us there. The people were lovely, kind and really wanting to be helpful. It was spotlessly clean. The matress was the most comfortable of the entire trip of 17 days. For the price, I'd stay there again.

7.2

A nice and clean hotel in the center of Ravenna. A famous place to start up your shopping- or sightseeingtour.

10

Good location.

9.9

The Hotel Centrale Byron provided a perfect location for us to explore the historical sites of Ravenna. We easily were able to walk around and enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the area.

9.2

Great location, easy to find . staff welcoming and helpful where required. Scored them poorly for quietness of room due to neighbour constantly banging on his door as his missus had locked him out for some mis-demenour! Good Ice cream shop opposite!

9.9

Posizione centralissima, cinque minuti dalla stazione, massima cordialità e simpatia. Vivamente consigliato!!!

7.8

Perfect location in what is a small city jammed with historical and artistic attractions. The staff were excellent, both informative and welcoming. The room was small but clean and well cared for. I certainly enjoyed my stay.

7.5

A nice hotel right next to the center of town and only 900 meters from the train station. (Tricky to find and a little far to wheel luggage so I would recommend a taxi.) The rooms were nothing spectacular but clean and comfortable and the AC worked. A great place to explore the historic sites of Ravenna from.

9.8

We were two couples who arrived just as the World Cup finals were beginning in the nearby square. Although we were only briefly in the room before going out to join the crowd we noticed how quiet the room was. The room was small but very well appointed, modern and clean. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly, allowing us to leave our bags in the office a few hours after checkout. It was an easy walk from the train station with backpacks, and a great location for viewing the mosaics. I would definitely stay here again. We had lunch at the central Market's cafeteria which was very good. Of course we loved being there for the final and the mosaics, and found the people of this lovely town very hospitable.

9.8

I had one of the small singles and thought it was a very good value. The room truly is small, but its amenities were all there and the staff and cleanliness were excellent.

8.6

For a centrally located hotel at an afforable price this place is hard to beat. We booked a room with balcony that overlooks one of the main shopping streets in town which was generally very pleasant, although it was a bit noisy on Saturday night. The staff were very helpful, providing useful advice on issues such as access to cheap parking.

9.3

The room was small but clean and comfortable. Convenient central location. Excellent breakfast choices. Would stay there again.

9.7

Very fine hotel - should rate more stars. Good location - in pedestrian area - make arrangements to bring car in to unload or park 200 meters away and drag bags. Excellent breakfast and staff. Good price.

8.5

A very good hotel well located. Would stay there again.

8.3

I would welcome the option to choose between double room and twin room on the booking page.

5.9

We had a problem with a most unfriendly, uncooperative attitude of the person on the front desk which greatly affected the quality of our stay. The breakfast was excellent and delicious, the breakfast staff, very competent and friendly, the location was good, the rooms spacious and pleasant. (We had to be careful of the small throw rugs in the rooms that easily slip out from under you on the wood floors.)

9.2

Perfect location, even a long distance from parking place.

8.5

This hotel is right in the centre of Ravenna. As we were driving we requested, in advance, direction to the hotel. These were excellent and without them we would have had some difficulty in locating it. Cars cannot be left at the hotel and the receptionist was most helpful with directions to alternative parking venues. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Ravenna. We were given an excellent recommendation for a restaurant for dinner.

9.5

Only stayed one night but the customer service was excellent. Small single room but everything worked, clean bathroom.

9.6

SUPERFREUNDLICHES UND KOMPETENTES SERVICEPERSONAL - ÜPPIGES FRÜHSTÜCKSBUFFET FÜR ITALIENISCHE VERHÄLTNISSE - SUPER CAPPUCCINO !

9.7

Friendly Hotel, well situated

8.5

The hotel is right in the middle of the town, so it's the perfect place to start from for a tour of the town's monuments, since there is plenty of them in very little space: you can always get back to the hotel for a little rest. Rooms are quiet and clean, the service provided really good and the breakfast is simply delicious. We strongly recommend it.
