We stayed in Margot guesthouse for three nights. The hostess is extremely friendly and helpful. She gave us as a gift a Colomba Pasquale, a typical italian cake served in Easter. We stayed in a double bedroom ensuite. The bathroom and the room were very clean, and comfortable. We had a good stay. Only disadvantages were:
1) dodgy surrounding and the smell in the staircase leading up to the guesthouse.
2) It was very noisy early in the morning because of the thin walls, and our neighbours woke up really early.

The advantages of it:
1) It is clean.
2) Breakfast is cheap, but you have to pay for it and ask for it a day before.
3) It is very close to Termini train station and to the other attractions in Rome.

I'd definitely consider going there again.

This is a simple but pleasant little place. The rooms are small but clean and airy. The location is a bit dreary (near the railway station) but the friendly, helpful host is a real plus, and it's only a few blocks to a more attractive area for dining and sightseeing. We'd stay here again. Travellers with mobility problems should note that while the reception is on the sixth floor, the elevator only goes to the fifth.

This is a basic pensione, clean and simple. Nothing flash, just a bed and ensuire bathroom, which is perfectly fine for those who like to dump their bags, and spend their days walking around Rome. Really close to the Termini - so great after you fly into the airport, catch the train to the termini, you can then walk to the hotel. I would stay here again - in fact, I'm booking a trip there soon!

My husband and I arrived at the Margot that we booked through HostelWorld after flying almost 24 hours. We had just found out that United Airlines had failed to put our luggage on the plane in Philadelphia although they had plenty of time to do it and now the trip of a life time was in limbo! The Margot in on the 5th floor and our room was right outside a waterpump in closet that ran day and night to pump water up to 5th floor. The rooms were clean but plain. The walls are very thin and there was construction in the courtyard that began very early each morning. Breakfast consisted of a hard roll and tea or coffee. The manager did try to work with the airlines, but she spoke very little english. For the price, you could find a better place.
Since we were new travelers we didn't know. We had reservations to spend our last two days there, but we cancelled them.
