8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
Room had everything you needed except a kettle and coffee machine. Bath was a good size. Digital light switches problematic. Breakfast noisy due to the chairs being scrapped along the floor. Limited bread choice. Coffee in the pots was cold. Should have had a coffee machine. Mirror needed above bedroom unit. Noisy corridors. No restaurant although menu on display. Expensive for what it offered.

Classe is very easy to get to from Ravenna, just grab the no. 4 bus from the train station. It's easier than driving, particularly if your car is in one of the private garages.
