Our accomodation was great. We were a little further away from where we initially though we would be but our room was perfect. Location is close to the train station and there is a wonderful pizza and pasta restaurant across from the reception. We walked everywhere but the Vatican which is easy to get to by catching a €1 metro. Clean, quiet and convinient.

Stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. We stayed in the building just a few minutes walk from reception, next door to the embassy. Felt very safe and secure. The rooms are old but very spacey. Handy to everything and only a short walk to Roma Termini. Would definitely stay here again!

It's not really a hostel, more of a hotel that they had a couple spare rooms in. Don't come here if you expect to meet people. I was booked for a 5 person room and I was in a room with one other person- the hostel portion was virtually empty. They charge extra for wifi (for my 5 day stay it was 5 euros). the beds aren't comfortable. The staff is professional but not personable at all. Hostels in italy generally suck, but this one at least had a sitting room, wifi, and a fridge, so it was okay.

Staff was very rude to us, there are only 4 bathrooms/showers for the entire floor of the "hostel",there was no sign for the "hostel" which was a 5th floor of a hotel. Staff got pissy with us when we tried to make microwave pizzas in the lobby. Very clean place but deffinetly a hotel. if you dont want to cook for yourself and just want a place to crash it would be great.

Next to the central rail station, but a little bit far from touristic points. Otherwise, the hostel is so clean, silent and secure. Very nice stay.

Carlito's Way is located just 5-10 minutes from Roma Termini, which is perfect for a tired traveler. The hostel is located in a sister hostel/hotel, which was just fine. The security was very good; they had a doorman/woman on the ground floor 24/7. Usually, you had to ring to be let in in the evening/early mornings. My experience was very good since I got upgraded from a 5-bed dorm to a 1-bed room! Very awesome. But if you want interaction with other people, this hostel may not be for you.

The hostel was clean, fairly quite. It is very small...7 rooms total from what I could deduce and only part of 1 floor in a 6 story non descript building. As stated here and on their site, you will need to check in at Hotel Des Artistes, pay the balance of your total in cash, then be walked over to the hostel (a different street and address, but not too far). It's a great fairly central location and only a couple of minutes from a Metro stop and a grocery store. The staff was friendly,

It's just a one floor hotel, clean and nice rooms, free towels, free wifi. Two bathrooms in the floor, clean. Near the metro station Castro Pretorio, 15' walking from/to Termini. Good place if you just need a bed to sleep and a bathroom, not the right place if you're looking for a fun hostel. For us was ok and cheap. NO breakfast NO credit card.

The only good thing is the location, it's very close to the Train Station and Metro. The hostel don't have atmosphere of hostel, it's an old building that they adapted to hostel. The bathrooms are dirty and old. They don't have facilities like computers to use, places to use and chill out, you need to buy internet. I don't recommend this hostel.

The hostel was very well situated, 3 min walk from a metro station, close to city center, in a quiet area etc... The room as well as the bathrooms were clean. The only down side was he reception, and especially the check in. We waited for 45 minutes to get everything done. During check out we asked the reception about the bus schedule towards ciampino airport: they did not really know, did not bother look it up on the internet for us, and just told us to have a look at Termini station

Great place however, it is more like a hotel it is a hotel but a very great one. The only thing is reception is not in the same location as the hotel rooms. The metro is located near the rooms
