Hotel la Pace - Experience

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

We booked this hotel as it was in a good location in the town and more importantly for us Pino the hotel owner has utterly amazing knowledge of the battle around Cassino during WW2 and could not have been more helpful with regard to information. Our main reason for our trip was to visit the battle sites and cemeteries. Our rooms were air conditioned with a private bathroom with shower. The Italian buffet breakfast was very good and we certainly enjoyed the pastries. All the staff were friendly and happy to provide maps and tour guides, along with allowing us to gain information from the vast library of books on the battle . It was also a short walk from the hotel to catch the minibus service to Monte Cassino Abbey.

It was very poignant to meet with Pino Valente who is working to explain the wartime events of Monte ****** to local schoolchildren and worldwide visitors in a spirit of mutual understanding and reconciliation. The hotel is a museum that informs and educates and is highly recommended. Pino keep up the good work and we visit again.

Best Hotel If you like history . The owner is a historian and did an evening presentation in three languages about the Battle of Monte Cassino and towns history. They serve a lovely breakfast buffet included in their very reasonable price. The room was comfortable and had a view of the abbey on the hill. The owner Pino and his wife Lina were attentive and friendly. We stayed an extra day because it was such a great experience. This is not a tourist destination so not crowded and mostly local residents.

This a great hotel. Great View of Monte Cassino. Great Staff. Very happy to have had the chance to stay here. Loved all the WW2 items around the lobby. Pino was awesome to talk to. Can't wait to stay again. Thank you for all your help during our time at Hotel La Pace.

An old and charming hotel. It is undergoing renovations when we were there. I booked a room for 5 people. Upon check-in the front desk gave us 2 rooms. I really appreciated the staff’s kindness and gesture.

The property was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient to Montecassino and the center of Cassino.

Really nice hotel with comfortable rooms, helpful staff and a good breakfast. Ideal location for visiting Monte Cassino Abbey and the war cemeteries which was the reason for our stay. Located near to the town centre and easy to find with free parking.

This was our second visit at La Pace in Cassino and we would highly recommend to anyone. The staff are all friendly & attentive. The hotel and rooms are clean and well maintained. The breakfast buffet was fresh and had a great variety to choose from.
