This was a great hostel to stay in! It was dirt cheap but very safe and owned by a beautiful hotel (that's where you check in) The rooms were basic, but that's what my travel buddies were aiming for. We spent so much time out in Rome that the basicness of the room was all we needed. REALLY close to... more

Before I found out I was going to have an additional traveller on my trip, I had originally reserved a spot in the hostel portion of Hotel/Hostel des Artistes, which runs Carlito's Way. We ended up reserving a private double with shared bath, which at the time was significantly cheaper than the private ensuite. Upon arrival to a dark and... more

We LOVED Carlito's Way, and would happily recommend it to friends. Carlito's Way is spacious and quite. With the Soviet Embassy next door, security is not an issue! BJ, Winnipeg, CANADA more

The staff is helpful, and they have computers to use the internet on for free during certain hours of the day. There is also... more

I was very pleased with my stay at Carlito's Way. It is centrally located, the staff is kind and helpful and the prices were good for Rome. They also offer discounts for paying in cash which is a real plus. The bathroom to room ratio is good (if you are sharing one like we did) so you don't need to... more

We stayed there for 4 nights last weekend. We had a double room which was very nice, with new furniture. Only one side of the matras was not very good, but I slept ok. There were 5 rooms with one bathroom on the floor, it was cleaned everyday. The shower did not give a lot of water but it was... more
