Service was very good. Very helpful and friendly staff.
The rooms were basic but comfortable.
Location wasn't bad, close to metro station and some sights.

We stayed here in October 2009 for 3 nights. You have to go to a hotel first that is just a few blocks away from the train station. Then the receptionist takes you another 3 or 4 blocks away to Carlito's way the hostel is more like apartments, in way that there is no reception located in the building, the room we got was massive! and really clean and comfortable. I think the rooms are non smoking which is a little annoying but the windows open nice and wide, the windows also have steel shutters! :o

As we approached the building there is the french embassy on the corner (i think it was the French i didn't look into it) which is guarded by armed soldiers 24/7 so i guess its a pretty safe location, although the sight of the guns unnerved me some :)

there didn't seem to be many guest when we stayed but it was October, and at least the place was quite! The bathrooms were clean and fresh towels and tolitries are provided in your room everyday.

Had a lovely time staying in Carlito's Way. Decent beds, excellent showers. No AC but a fan. Near Termini station, ok to find, make sure you take a map. Roof terrrace, friendly bar across the road. Supermarket round the corner. Good staff, breakfast vouchers. Luggage storage.
All round GOOD.

Very disappointed with Carlito's Way. I was trying to reserve rooms online using Hostelworld and through a website error that Hostelworld has already acknowledged, reserved rooms for three (instead of two). I called this hotel to cancel immediately and they have insisted on continuing to charge me for that web site error.

I am having to dispute it through my credit card company. Will report the results but I am not pleased with how I've been treated. They say they are concerned and that they care but refuse to acknowledge a simple website mistake (one that Hostelworld has already acknowledged and happily refunded my deposit).

My son and his friend did stay there earlier and reported a reasonable good experience but this places a shadow on their integrity.
