Everything was great! We only had problems using the computers that are for the guests facilities, they were very very slow and never got internet working.. Besides that everything was perfect..

Good hostel for your money. The only problem is I left there with over 50 bites all over my body...

We actually stayed in another hotel named Hotel Des Artists owned by the same person. The hotel is near the train station and metro, also clean and have 2 computers for free use.But you have to pay for wifi and the breakfast. It's a good place to stay and get a rest.

Seemed more like a hotel to us. Very nice rooms and clean facilities, but the building we stayed in was located about 10 minutes away from the main building. Aside from that, we were very happy with the hostel and enjoyed our stay a lot.

This hostel definitely exists, however, under a different name. The address is the same, but the name differs. As stated by others beforehand, go to "Hotel Des Artistes". And that's what it is, a hotel without private bathroom. Great hostel on a great location.

Very near the Termini, that's good if you need to travel to Fiumicino or Ciampino airport. Raul, the guy who checked me in was very friendly and explained everything I needed to know about my stay. Breakfast is not included, but for only 1,50eu you can have a croissant, a latte and juice in the restaurant just across the street. There are few bathrooms, and is a little bit laberintical to reach them, but very good overall! No towel!

We think that Carlito's Way does not exist actually. We stay at another hostel. Low facilities, without common room, staff were nice and the guy in weekdays was very helpful.

I arrived at night and the other 4 persons in the 5 dorm room were already at sleep. I had to find my way in the very dark room, blinds couldn't be opened, lights didn't work and only the middle bed was left with no safe place to store my belongings as there was one guy sleeping near me on the left and on the right..but it is acceptable as a easy to find location when you need time to find your way in Rome and it is a good place to crash in

Even if it reminded me more of hotel than hostel I had so much fun during my stay there! I've made some great friendships from ppl from all over the world! Location was perfect (close to downtown and Termini station), Staff was very helpful and kind, everything very clean, safe neighbourhood. and what's the most important it was very cheap! only 12 euro per night (including city tax) I generally recommend this hostel to everyone, if I will have a chance I will stay there again! :)

We really liked the hostel. The room was really big and it felt like if we were in a Hotel but for less money. It was perfect!!! Very close to the metro station, with supermarket and restaurants around... Close to the main train station... We really enjoyed our time there. And the people from Reception they were all very nice and helpful :)

Carlito's way was basically the same place as Hotel Des Artistes. I couldn't determine how that works but we stayed in Hotel Des Artistes and it was a fantastic value for the money. Room was spacious, staff was helpful, the bathrooms were spotless, and all a 8 minutes walk from Termini Station (train, metro, airport shuttle), and about 2 minutes from another metro station. Certainly not a party hostel, but that's not what we were looking for.
