Hotel Centrale Byron - Ravenna

Execellent quality-price Hotel.Very nice staff. Helpfull Marco !

Room was plain, but spacious. It was clean and a good value. The bathroom was good size and fully equipped. The breakfast provided was very good. The location was fantastic, in the pedestrian zone, right next to the central Piazza.

Excellent hotel, excellent location an a beautiful town, competent staff, good breakfast

Perfect central location, although hard to get to if driving due to one way streets. Small room, but typical for European hotels.

Nice hotel, best breakfast on trip, great staff. The location was fabulous, right in the heart of the historic center, yet the room was quiet. Bed was very, very firm. This made me happy because my bed at home is very, very firm, but not everyone would agree.

Excellent! Staff very gentle

Comfortable bed and room, great AC, friendly staff and everything great even at the height of tourist season in Ravenna. Perfect location for sightseeing and our room overlooked the popular gelateria across the way,which we enjoyed despite a few crying toddlers down there occasionally. Would definitely recommend Centrale Byron.

The hotel met my standards. The room was fine. Breakfast should be organized differently. The 2 ladies couldn't keep up with newly-arriving guests. Table service was slow and coffee arrived at the end of breakfast for 3 days in a row. It would be a lot easier if one person took orders for coffee etc and cleaned tables while the other one stayed behind the bar. Breakfast itself was great, many different choices and coffee of great quality!

I felt very comfortable and welcomed here. Staff were helpful, cheerful and courteous. Very good breakfast too - brown bread or rolls would have been good for health reasons.

Excellent location! A walking distance from the bus and railway stations. All the most important monuments are just round the corner. The single room was adequate but much smaller than any in the pictures shown on the internet pages. The friendly staff gave good restaurant recommendations. The room was very quiet and peaceful to be in Italy!

Excellent welcoming made the whole day in Ravenna even better!!

An excellent place in the very center of town. Prices are great if you book via venere. Great breakfast for Italian hotels. The public parking lot close to San Vitale should be mentioned on the internet as the destination for car travellers.

The location is perfect, in centre and 10 min walk from train station. Room very clean , but an inside room so only a view of the 'well'. The single room was so small you practically needed lubricant to get in it. Breakfast good. Staff polite but not friendly. Certainly wouldn't stay again cus of the smallness of the room and the coldnes of the staff.

Right in the old centre of town and an easy walk from the station. The centre is pedestrianised so I imagine getting there with a car would be awkward. Cosy room. Breakfast limited for people with Coeliac.

Free bicycles!

Except for the manager, the staff was somewhat cold, not particularly friendly. Confusion over what a junior suite means. For us it meant 2 separate rooms joined by a common room. In fact, it was a larger room with beds for four and not something two couples could share.

Couldn't be more convenient. Clean, bright, quiet, good value. Best ice cream opposite. Good restaurant not mentioned in our guidebooks is La Gardela about 50 metres from hotel. Very friendly staff,always packed so best to book. Free bikes for tourists. Try to get one without the basket. They are very heavy.

I visited Ravenna because of my interst in mosaics. The Centrale Byron wss centrally situated for everything I wished to see. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cost was very reasonable. I enjoyed my stay, would happily return, and would be glad to recommend it to others. The bathroom was a bit small.

Excellent price and location. This hotel id right in the center of the pedestrian district and was a bit hard to find. Only con was that parking was extra. Amazing Gelateria across the street. Ravenna is a hidden architectural Gem-don't miss this city if you are visiting the Adriatic Coast.

We were family of 2 adults + 2 small chilren and had 2 rooms provided.

The location is very good . We also enjoyed the food in Ravenna by hotel recommndations restaurants. Every restaurant is reasonable , good service and nice food. the staffs in breakfast room are also nice.

Decor could do with an upgrade; views onto courtyard uninspiring; more natural light would be nice.

Nice hotel in the middle of Ravenna. Warm welcome and nice rooms

A great location in the center of Ravenna. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable.

Excellent hotel and perfect position. Maybe little rooms

I was first a bit worried about travelling alone as woman, but it was no problem at all! I recommend Lido di Dante if you want to go to the beach - it is 25 minutes with the bus 44, most parts of the beach are really nice and natural, and the crabs are still alive there. ;-) Hotel was clean, very central, good service, everything fine.

A charming, small hotel, right in the centre of Ravenna. Totally recommended for leisure and business trips.

This hotel is simply marvellous !!!!!

This is a good hotel in the middle of Ravenna and ideal for tourists.

Superb, central location. A typical European tourist hotel--very sound but not luxurious. Parking was available in a public, guarded lot.

Very nice location. Friendly and helpful staffs. Excellent breakfast. A flaw on the jewel is the bathroom which is too small for the big guys.

This hotel is perfectly located -- ideal for all the Ravenna mosaics (and not far from bus to St Apollinare in Classe). On a pedestrian precinct with lovely main piazza round corner. Breakfast good and staff helpful. Our room -- the second grade up -- had little space apart from the bed (they had changed us to a double bed -- letto matrimoniale -- with no fuss at all). Outlook on a rather dark building well: I suspect one needs to book the next rung up for something better. But overall a perfect base for exploring Ravenna.

We arrived quite late but were expected and made welcome. Very good location for sightseeing. Three good restaurants close by. Ravenna exceeded our expectations.

Staff was very helpful in finding hotel. Tricky location, but we found it, and would gladly stay there again.

The location was excellent.

This was the first time we stayed. Found the hotel on the web. Fulfilled all our expectations, except the description of how to walk to the hotell from the vaporetta. We found a much easier way.

Room was very dark - no real window.

Professional, and very good recommendations of restaurants.

The hotel was clean and quiet. The staff was great. The breakfast was good. The room was small, but that was expected as I had booked the cheapest double room. If you want to see the mosaics it is a great place to stay as most are very close to the hotel.

I stayed in June 2009. The hotel is easy to find, ~10min walk from train. It is in historical centre, so close all sights and no traffic noise. The room was clean and adequate, though small(economy single), with very small bathroom. It is air-conditioned, plus had opening windows with good security. Breakfast fresh, with hot options available for a small extra cost. Staff recommended a couple of restaurants - the one I chose served local specialties at at excellent prices. Ravenna is a lovely little town, well worth a visit. The town has a free bicycle use program, and locals are cycling everywhere you go. Also good place for shopping.

The facility should indicate no parking area around hotel and advise the closest available parking on the web-site.

Wir waren 3 Tage im Hotel Centrale Byron untergebracht - und dies sehr gut! ... die Zimmer waren zwar nicht riesig, aber sauber ... sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal (an der Rezeption teilw. deutschsprachig) ... ruhige und zentrale Lage in der Fußgängerzone ... einen Parkplatz für 2,80 €/Tag gibt es in ca. 500m Entfernung (zum Be- und Entladung kann man an das Hotel fahren) ... Frühstück für ital. Verhältnisse sehr gut ... abschließend: auch vom Preis her nur zu empfehlen!!!

Great location, good breakfast, responsive staff, A/C repaired promptly, beds too firm, would stay again if in Ravenna

A route to drive to the hotel with the street names should be provided. Otherwise it is an adventure to find out the hotel!

Perfect location, wonderful price, good computer access. Highly recommended.

I stayed 2 nights and found the hotel to be fine, everything I expected. I especially appreciated the free parking and the quiet of the area. It was a 10 minute walk to the centro storico. A fine hotle

Very lovely hotel, located in the centre of the town,with a lot of pleasant bars and restaurants, close to Popolo Square and to all ancient historical monuments

Très bon hôtel, malheureusement le parking n'est pas très proche(public, mais pas cher : quelques euros par jour). On peut cependant aller jusqu'à l'hôtel en voiture à travers les rues piétonnes... L'hôtel est propre, calme. Le petit déjeuner en buffet est très bon et copieux, avec un grand choix. Il n'est pas facile de manger à un prix raisonnable dans les environs, ce qui est dommage, mais la proximité du centre historique est un atout.

Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. personale molto gentile. buona prima colazione.

Very professional staff, great location, very ample breakfast, internet, easy walk to train.

This hotel is right on the walking street with good views of the street. Great for being out with the people on the weekends

An excellent hotel in the centre of Ravenna. Inside the hotel my room seemed to be very hot although the low temperatures outside in late December probably made this seem more than it was. Bathroom in my single room was very small, one of those where you move the door to get access to some of the facilities. They have WiFi but do little to advertise it you have to ask. Staff were all pleasant and efficient. At the time of year I went finding places to eat was not easy as there were so many reservations made for Christmas meals in the restaurants. One last point must be to note that the centre of Ravenna is completely pedestrianised. You can't get a car near to the hotel, so be prepared to walk a little. From the station it is a 5/10 minutes walk. OK if you can walk with a suitcase but probably not if you have two or three and they don't have wheels.

The carpet of the room was with stains ; the rate was a little expensive for the town of ravenna but very near of the center

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.

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

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

Extremely helpful staff. Thanks!

Excellent location, very good hotel, reasonable price

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Difficult to find cheaper meals nearby.

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.

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.

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

First time in this hotel.everything was very nice

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
