Carlito's Way Reviews

I signed up 6 of us to what I thought was a 6 mixed dorm room. But when we got there they told us they don't have 6 person rooms so they split us up. We were all on the same floor but it was not what we were expecting and would have preferred to have been told that. Luckily it all worked out.

The hostel was very clen, the staff was great the location was good! I stayed with my girlfriend. We payed for a 4 bed room and they gave us a 2 bed private! Breakfast is not included but they give you hot water, sugar and cups so you can fix yourself something. Also a common fridge avaliable! Would go there again!

Arriving at the hostel is complicated. You are sent from the hostel's address to another hotel in the same street for the check-in. The room, however, is 5-10min away. The check-in staff was helpful, but the guy bringing us to our room was clearly not interested in any kind of conversation. The room was very big and had a tv. The bathrooms were okay. It was more like being in a hotel than hostel, without any contact with fellow travelers or staff.

The people were very friendly and helpful, rooms were great; free computers and wifi and a smoking terrace

Not that much in the center but for this price it was perfect. The staff is superkind& easygoing, rooms are clean, we had a very good time there...

Great location, about two blocks from Termini, which is partly why I chose this hostel. The employees were exceptional, they were extremely helpful with absolutely everything that I needed.

Good location and nice building. Friendly staff and clean rooms. We booked a 6-bed dorm but were upgraded to a private room when we were arrived. Rooms could have had a little extra character.

Stayed at Carlito's Way expecting just a normal no-frills private room and were surprised with what was pretty much a gorgeous hotel room! Spotless, lovely, private bathroom, very helpful staff, free wifi in all the rooms, etc. Not the best location, though it's close to the metro so you can go from there. Highly recommend if you don't mind taking the metro wherever you go!

The bathrooms could have been cleaned more often and they definitely need to put lids on the trash cans because the stalls would stink toilet paper festering in the trash cans.

Here is not hostel, it's HOTEL

Carlito's Way is really an excellent hostel! It's cheap, safe and clean. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is very friendly! Definitely, an excellent hostel to pass a great time in Rome.

Good hostel, actually it is like a hotel. I liked it. It is close to the main station (Roma Termini) so, it is a huge advantage. Beds are comfortable and clean. There is always hot water in the baths. Baths were ok but I think it should be more clean. But it doesn't mean that they were dirty :)

The first thing you have to know about Carlito's Way is that when you are trying to find it that there is no sign for the hostel. You have to check in at the Hotel Des Artistes (5th floor), which is at the nearby address of Carlito's way. In case you do not find it just ask in the bar next to it. The hostel has various apartments around it where you can stay, the rooms are really nice. But there are no common rooms, so is more like a hotel.

(+) good location and cleanliness, staff , lockers (-) lack of character , should have some activities to allow people to group together

Great little hostel. Very quiet, in a great location. The room was big and comfortable. Thanks very much.

The location was ok, at least it was close to Termini station. Otherwise, this hostel is what it is... a hostel. The bathrooms left a lot to be desired. The rooms were really sparse but at least I got a double and had a lot of room. There was nothing going on since everyone was on different floors. The only good thing was that my bed was made everyday.

Carlito's Way is very close to the main bus and train terminal, which is very convenient. The area seemed kind of sketchy, though, especially when returning at night. The hostel expected payment in cash upond arrival. The hostel was very clean (they wash your sheets every day) and the rooms were huge but also strangely barren and empty. There's a nice common room with sofas, though I never once saw anyone else there, and there were too very large bathrooms that were nice and more than enough.

It is an excellent hostel if all you need is a place to sleep at night. Staff is pretty friendly and the rooms are very clean.

Overall we had a nice stay, but when the hostel's profile says "free internet access" - it actually refers to 15 free minutes of internet at a laundromat down the street, just a forewarning of the false advertising. Actual wifi within the building costs 2 Euros for 24 hours of access.

It was a pity: there was no kitchen where to cook or where to meet other people.
