Hotel Italia

We picked this hotel for being close to the historic sights and train station, and it's hard to imagine a better location. The view from my room was incredible, with three of Ravenna's major historic sites in sight. The whole historic district and the train are both an easy walk away. This isn't a luxury hotel by American standards, but we're in Ravenna, Italy. The rooms are a little small, but worked perfectly well for us, with all the amenities we needed and plenty of outlets. Bring a converter. The shower was nice, though the toilet area was a bit cramped. Breakfast was fantastic, with lots of pastries and excellent cappuccino and espresso. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the city and this hotel.

The front desk staff were very nice, and the hotel is right beside the train station, which I liked. The room was clean, but dated. The beds were too hard and uncomfortable, and the shower was very old and weak. We stayed back in August; overall, the place was okay.

The only thing I wasn't keen on was the area by the train station. I'm not a big fan of that location, though it could be handy if you want to step off the train and be straight at your hotel. There's free parking right beside the property, which is hard to find so close to the centre. The rooms were clean and nice, the staff were friendly, and the price was affordable. I had to leave early, so I didn't have breakfast and can't comment on it. All in all, I definitely recommend the place.

The room faced the train tracks, and at first I thought the noise might keep me up, but it didn't. The hotel is close to the train station, which is convenient when you arrive by rail. Breakfast was nice, with a good selection for this kind of hotel, and I had a few cappuccinos. I'd recommend it if you're travelling to or from a cruise.
