NH Ravenna is ninth on our scoring, though it's the easiest hotel to reach by train. It's 2 minutes from the station, per NH, with a restaurant, a cocktail bar and connecting rooms, about 8.1 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
Two things pull it down. Breakfast is extra, about €13 to €17 (about US$15–19) a person per its Expedia listing, and there's no parking of its own.
Visit Ravenna lists the NH as a pick-up point for its terminal transfer, from €20 (about US$20) a person. NH doesn't sell it; you book the operator.
Arriving by train from Bologna, with Visit Ravenna booked ahead, it's the simplest hotel on the list.
Book it if
- You're arriving by train
- You want a restaurant and a bar downstairs
- Your family needs connecting rooms
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included.
- You're driving and need parking.
- You'd rather wake up by the sea than the station.
Your night before, from here

A restaurant cooking Emilia-Romagna dishes and a cocktail bar, per NH.
NH lists no cruise transfer — Visit Ravenna names the NH among its pick-up points for the terminal transfer, from €20 a person; book it with Visit Ravenna, not NH. From NH Ravenna, Visit Ravenna’s transfer covers it — the city’s Radiotaxi can’t be booked in advance, Hotel Diana’s cruise page says.
A paid buffet, about €13 to €17 a person, 7 to 10 am on weekdays and to 11 at weekends, per its Expedia listing.
NH gives no cruise-terminal distance; it puts the station 2 minutes' walk away. Our routing gives about 8.1 road miles (13.1 km) to the terminal, roughly 18 minutes with no traffic. By our routing the drive from NH Ravenna is about 18 minutes on empty roads — Visit Ravenna’s shared transfer from town takes about 30.
No parking at the hotel; NH points to public parking in front, without a price, and nothing says it suits a cruise week.
