Hotel Gari

My partner uses this hotel when he is working in Cassino and a couple of times I have flown out to join him for a weekend. It's not the best looking hotel with great views (although in certain rooms you can see the Abbey) but the staff could not be more helpful and although there is a language barrier we always get by. The rooms are clean and fresh although the showers could be a little better, I found the shower door a bit awkward and leaky. Breakfast is absolutely fine and there is always a bit of nice cake which I think is probably homemade, always a winner as far as I'm concerned.

For anyone wanting to visit the monastry this is an ideal choice. Right at the foot of the mountain with stunning views up to the summit. Basic but clean the staff could not be more helpful. Only fault is the lack of drink making facilities in the rooms.

Hotel is located on the square that has the Cathedral for Cassino. It is a short 10 minutes from the autostrada and well before the congestion of central Cassino. Hotel is at the base of the mountain that has the Abbey at Monte Cassino. View from our balcony was of a fort part way up the mountain.Staff (Ennio&Anna) could not do enough for us as tourists unfamiliar with the area. Found us a laundry 10 steps from the hotel that did a full bag,washed and folded and returned to the hotel for 8.5Euro. Checked on Mass schedule at the Cathedral and found a grocery store. Happily provided us bowl after bowl of ice. Rooms are large with fridge,good desk and flat screen TV. No coffee maker. Free wifi. Good sized bathroom with heated towel rack. There is free parking in a small gated lot next to the hotel. Note staff must open the gate. There is no night clerk so watch your time of departure/arrival.Breakfast was mediocre. No meat or cheese. Neer hotel within a block are a pizza place and a bakery to die for. Within 1km all kinds of stores and restaurants.
