What guests think

At Grand Hotel Mattei, travellers highlight clean, modern rooms with comfortable beds and generous breakfasts, while noting the remote, industrial location that suits cruise departures but requires taxis or the paid shuttle instead of easy walking.

Many guests find staff friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk arranging transport. On-site dining and bar are generally good, though hours can be restrictive and service occasionally slow or curt. Rooms are often spacious and quiet, but a few mention noisy or faulty air conditioning, minor maintenance issues, and limited in-room amenities like kettles. Expect a comfortable, practical stopover, especially before or after a cruise.

This hotel worked for us as we readied for our Celebrity Cruise. However, it is out of town in an industrial area and had no access to restaurants, shops or transportation. Fortunately, they had a restaurant at the hotel that we dined at that had a pretty decent dinner and breakfast. They also arranged a shuttle for us that took us to the port where we got on our cruise ship.

Excellent hotel for Cruise passengers. Was most impressed with shuttle service to the port (for a fee). Taxis are not the easiest to find in Ravenna so the shuttle was perfect. Like the tip I read ensure you book the shuttle as soon as you checkin as it gets full quickly.

Great hotel for the stay before/after the cruise. The shuttle books fast for the drop off to the cruise ports so make sure you reserve it immediately upon checking in and DO NOT be late they will leave as it occurred to a friend of ours. Breakfast was lovely.

Super Sauberkeit, Personal teilweise sehr gereizt, weil einfach zu wenig Personal im Speiseraum ist oder unorganisiert ist. Sehr freundliches Reinigungspersonal Beim Buchen war Spa abgebildet per Foto, dieses ist aber seit Corona nicht geöffnet. Ich hätte die genauen Bedingungen lesen müssen und mich nicht von Bildern täuschen lassen, war die Antwort...nicht zufreidenstellend. Leider sind wir an einem Tag mit dem Fahrstuhl zwischen dem 4. Und 5. Stock stecken geblieben. Der Notdienst kam und nach ca 20 Minuten waren wir wieder frei. Blöd nur, dass man eine Notfallnummer anrufen soll, im Fahrstuhl aber kein Handyempfang ist. Kann ja mal passieren.....sind seit dem nur Treppe gegangen. Salat und Nudeln sind im Restaurant zu empfehlen, Pizza eher mau. Zimmer war groß genug und sehr sauber.

Arrived to find that the advertised Restaurant, coffee shop and bar have very restrictive hours. If you arrive in the afternoon nothing is open! Breakfast is 7-10am and dinner is 7-10pm. Nothing in between. Pd snacks in a mini fridge. No coffee or kettle in rooms. Plastic glasses. A 15-20€ cab ride into town. This was a pre arrival stop before a cruise and I would not stay again. The one positive was the chef who made sure we had something Vegan for dinner and breakfast as nothing on the menu.

On the plus side, the breakfast was reasonably good and the beds were comfortable. The staff were polite and spoke good English. Unfortunately, the bathroom was dirty (black mould on the sealant in the shower), the AC in the room was not functional, and the hotel was incredibly noisy (there was a conference that went on in the lobby until midnight with blasting bass music like a disco, and the participants continued the party outside the hotel until 4am). The last part in particular was quite unacceptable but the hotel sadly offered no compensation for the situation. I was also not offered any Expedia benefits upon arrival, and the staff did not seem aware of them when asked. Note to potential guests that this is a long way from Ravenna, advise only staying if you plan to travel exclusively by car.

Ho dormito benissimo con i lenzuoli in puro cotone e l’aria condizionata che funzionava perfettamente. Camera moderna, spaziosa e silenziosissima. Colazione a buffet con ampia scelta di prodotti freschi. Staff cordiale.

After the initial check-in the staff was somewhat better. The room was roomy, clean, and the bed was comfortable.

It was late and we did not want a drink. He acted like he was wasting his time on us. Otherwise, I would recommend this lovely hotel and they offer a shuttle to cruise port for a reasonable fee. We will certainly use this hotel again.

The location was difficult to get to and there are very few taxis in Ravenna. The front desk staff was not helpful in getting us a taxi to the hotel or to our cruise ship. Overall it was a very frustrating and unpleasant stay. And the "free wifi" did not work AT ALL. No one seemed to care when I brought this to their attention.

We used the Grand Hotel Mattei for a 2 nights stay before our NCL Cruise. It was far from the Bologna airport but only 30 mins from the cruise port. Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is wonderful. It is about 10 min drive by car from the Ravenna city center so not easy to just walk out to explore. Nothing really in the immediate area. However the staff is very helpful in calling you a cab.
