A very very welcoming hotel, with a family-run feel and such helpful hosts - nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, and everyone was ready to give helpful advice or directions. For those interested, the proprietor gives a very interesting talk on the history of the town and the abbey and the battle, and can help visitors from every nation to understand the role of the different nations and the perspective of the local population (which includes his family). There is also plenty of advice on what to see locally and walks to do. The hotel is very convenient and central to the town, 20 minutes walk from the station, and close to plenty of places to eat (which the hotel staff will help to recommend). Our room was very comfortable, well equipped, and had a wonderful view of the abbey.

“Trip to Cassino and history”

Very comfortable close to downtown and dining but, far enough to avoid the bustle great view of the abbey and castle hill…lobby is like a small museum of the battle and the management is a wealth of knowledge and very accommodating to needs of the quests

“A budget hotel convenient to town”

I will review in two parts, the Hotel and the Walking Tour called Footprints on the Battlefield trails of Monte Cassino which was linked to the Hotel website and upon arrival I found out it was run by the hotels owner Pino.

I will review in two parts, the Hotel and the Walking Tour called Footprints on the Battlefield trails of Monte Cassino which was linked to the Hotel website and upon arrival I found out it was run by the hotels owner Pino. I had booked the tour on 13th April five weeks before my arrival and a Military Tour was my sole purpose of visiting Cassino. I was dismayed to have my tour cancelled by text 18 hours before I was due to go on it, PIno cited an anniversary event and a school twinning event both of which I find hard to believe he was unaware of 5 weeks previously when I booked. By virtue of the internet I was able to find another tour at half the price which met my needs. I was given an immediate refund which was in my account the next day. This is a budget hotel and the state of decoration reflects that. Checking in was easy and we added breakfast to the room price. We had booked a twin room and found a double bed and a single bed, more of a family room and the smaller bed did not have any sockets or light switches next to it. There were broken tiles in the bathroom and door knobs falling off some cupboards. There was a good size balcony which needed a couple of chairs, and there was a great view of the Abbey. Breakfast was very nice with a good typical continental selection There was a lift. In reception there is an interesting display of military memorabilia. The hotel is a 10 minute easy walk from the station. WiFi was free. On a general note there is very little of interest to do in Cassino and on reflection I would have taken a day trip from Rome
