Hotel berhampiran Desmo Race, Ravenna

Di passaggio per un evento a Ravenna ho cercato un hotel con parcheggio, perchè non mi andava di lasciare la vettura in strada. Ho così optato per questo hotel situato appena fuori città. Proprio adiacente alla basilica di S.Apollinare in Classe. Dall esterno, a prima vista, sembra solo un ristorante/pizzeria ma... Appena arrivati siamo stati accolti dal calore e dalla gentilezza tipici di queste zone. Caratteristiche estese a tutto il personale. L albergo è piccolo, dispone di sole 10 camere e due suites, ma è molto curato e, sopratutto, pulitissimo. Per accedere alle camere si passa da una porta a vetri comandabile con chiave elettronica della camera e salendo una comoda scala. Non presente l ascensore. La nostra camera era una matrimoniale classica, non grandissima, ben insonorizzata,con pavimento in ceramica (no moquette) col suo piccolo bagno, ben curato, con rubinetteria in ottone anticato. Letto matrimoniale, comodo, cuscini bassi ma raddoppiabili, armadio a muro, minibar, tv, e impianto di climatizzazione autonomo. La colazione è tipica a buffet con dolci fatti in casa davvero ottimi. Anche le cene sono state ottime anche se il cuoco e stato un po' abbondante col sale, ma il tutto è passato in secondo piano grazie alla simpatia e cortesia della Sig.a Angela che ha fatto del sorriso un plus fondamentale nel suo lavoro che svolge con passione. Nel complesso una ottima soluzione sia residenziale che gastronomica, a prezzi accessibili, condita da gentilezza, simpatia ed accoglienza. Consigliatissimo

Excellent hotel in every way. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. I inquired as to the name of a beautiful tree at the entrance to their inner garden. The young lady at reception didn’t know but when I returned several hours later she had all the info about this lovely Judas tree including pictures. Best breakfast (included) Great location Good recommendations for restaurants Rooms are spacious The building is intriguing; likely was a monastery or someone’s castle

Good: Location and the front office manager Giovanna. Ravenna, of cause! Ravenna is charming and full of treasures. Bad: All the rest. The rooms have been screaming for renovation for years. I got a choice between: - a room in front of the laundry/technical zone - a room near the elevator - a room with the vue on some technical installations. All of them noisy, each in it's own unique way. You are also perfectly informed of your neighbours visits to the bathroom. Soundproofing is inexistent. The female receptionist would be perfect as jail gate-keeper, not in contact with clients in a 4* hotel. A HUGE THANK YOU to Giovanna who knows the job and tried to do as best as she could with the bad material she had. Thank you for your kindness, your professionalism and the raspberry cocktail.

L hotel è situato in posizione centralissima comodo per visitare la citta. L hotel sembra ristrutturato da poco le camere non sono particolarmente spaziose ma comunque comode e dotate di ogni supporto e funzionalità. La forza dell’hotel sta senza dubbio nel personale. Ho viaggiato con un gruppo di amici e non ho mai trovato personale così disponibile e pronto a soddisfare ogni tipo di richiesta non ultima la possibilità di anticipare di mezz’ora la colazione del mattino. Complimenti a tutti ed in particolare al sig Marco in reception. Sicuramente tornerò al Byron. Consigliatissimo.

We stayed 2 nites prior to cruise departure. Very nice basic European hotel. Not fancy, but had some character. Good location, quiet neighborhood, we walked from train station to hotel (a little challenging with all the cobblestone), and walked everywhere in Ravenna. Loved the city - so charming. Its close to some of the famous mosaics. There are restaurants nearby and a market with a little coop grocery just a couple blocks away. Staff was SO friendly and helpful. They arranged transport to the port for us and coordinated everything the morning of departure (there were several parties in various transport vans all leaving around the same time - they kept track of van arrivals and what party was booked on what van, etc.). Very European - different than US hotels - everything was small (small elevator, small room & bathroom), temperature was a little warmer than I'm accustomed to in US (not sure if AC was on yet in early June?). Windows opened though so we could get some fresh air in the eve. Breakfast was Great! Buffet downstairs, had lots to choose from, incredible pastries and juices, cheeses, eggs, sausages, yogurt, fruit, etc. The staff was friendly and kept the food well stocked. So convenient.

We stayed here for 1 night before our cruise. Room was a really good size with balcony. Breakfast was fab! Fresh pastries / croissants etc, yogurt, fruit, breads, cereals, granola, biscuits, ham, cheese, eggs. There were options for everyone. This hotel is not double glazed so you could hear outside cars passing down the road and your neighbours when they spoke! Loved the walk to the beach which was opposite the hotel. Through a pine forest. It was beautiful. The beach area is amazing! Pure sand with kids play areas and lots of bars / restaurants. This hotel is ideal for families with young children as it had a great soft play area for the kids. The park looked great but was roped off so we couldn’t use it unfortunately. There were a few kids bikes, scooters & ride ons for the kids to use outside. A few arcade type games and pool table inside. Bikes to borrow. Swimming pool area needed a clean up, not sure if this was because it was beginning of the summer season. Furniture was unclean and needed to be washed down, patio needed sweeping. The water was cold. The kids still had a dip!

The building is monumental, the staff is exceptionally attentive and helpful. There is a wide range of possibilities for activities in the hall, a heaven for children with a Vespa and a piano included. Our room was simple, nice and clean, suitable for a family with many children. The breakfast was rich and delicious. There is a patio surranded by the building. Our children had so much fun running around there. The whole atmosphere is so friendly and peaceful. I wish we could have extended our staying.
