I had a mixed experience at this hostel. While the room was more than I expected with great cleanliness and comfort, my arrival was marred by an unfriendly night staff member. The location was decent, just a short walk from the metro, making it easy to explore the city, though some might find the area a bit backstreet. Overall, for the price, it offers good value, but the initial service needs attention.

My stay at Carlito's Way Hostel was a delightful surprise. The spacious room had an unexpected level of elegance that made our one-night visit feel truly special, especially considering the reasonable price.

Carlito's Way Hotel and Hostel is in a perfect location with easy access to transport and nearby attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean but can lack some basic amenities like curtains and a TV. The staff are helpful and the common areas foster a nice interaction among guests. Overall, it’s a great choice for budget-conscious travelers, but there’s room for improvement in room setup.
