Room was clean and bed was also neat and comfortable. There were most of equipment needed in the kitchen. The service was good also. But the point that the sharing bathroom is too cold was uncomfortable.(I've stayed there in winter) However, this wouldn't be problem in summer season. :)

This is the second time that I have used Le Papillon as part of a group and it has been great on both occasions. Marga is an excellent host, and will sort any issues that may arise. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are very clean. We will definitely be staying again!!!

Positives: Bright, clean accomodation (on the whole), biscuits and juice in room. Negatives: Uncomfortable bed, noise from other travellers, paying for the showers, kitchen was dirty The location was o.k - a bit of a walk to the centre of town Overall, not as good as I expected from other reviews on here.

Myself and five friends stayed at the hostel for two nights in August. We booked the hostel through Hostelworld but it has much more of a ‘Bed and breakfast’ feel. Lovely house with a large relaxing garden, and rooms are of a very good size. The host was very friendly and the rooms were great value. Good location not far... More

We stayed at Le Papillon for 6 nights while ending our holiday in Torquay. We booked the dorm room through Hostelworld, but upon arrival we noticed it was nothing like a hostel at all. First of all the room was very bright, and most important 100% clean. As mentioned by other reviewers the showers have to be paid for (50p),... More
